Exploring the Hidden Gems of Magnetic Island

<![CDATA[

This episode takes us on a journey beyond the typical sailing adventures to explore the beautiful and sometimes underappreciated beauty of hiking and exploring islands such as Magnetic Island. Old Sea Dog embarks on an expedition seeking something unusual, leading him to engage in a hiking adventure he doesn’t usually partake in.

Starting his day with excitement and preparation, equipped with cameras and gear, our adventurer sets out on his journey with Teddy Bear Expeditions not just for the thrill but also for the cardiovascular benefits. As he explores, Old Sea Dog stumbles upon some of the island’s unique historical landmarks, revealing the remnants of World War II and Australia’s lesser-known history.

Magnetic Island: A Hiker’s Paradise

The lush landscapes of Magnetic Island offer not only beautiful views but also a sense of discovery with each step. Old Sea Dog ventures into areas less frequented, revealing hidden treasures that even some locals may be unaware of. It’s these uncharted territories that bring about surprises such as spotting live koalas in the trees, showcasing that Australia’s wildlife extends beyond its usual suspects.

A significant part of this journey is the historical education Old Sea Dog imparts, from pointing out an old gun placement with a range of 18 miles to visiting a wartime bunker. The blend of history and nature creates a comprehensive adventure narrative that leaves viewers both informed and inspired to explore their own surroundings with curiosity.

The Unexpected Joys

Unplanned encounters along the journey add charm and unpredictability, such as meeting friendly locals who share similar interests. This sense of camaraderie among seafarers like Ron in his West Cell 32 boat or meeting an ex-Brit living in New Zealand who enjoys a good beer adds a layer of community and shared experiences to the episode.

Reflections on the Journey

The adventure concludes with Old Sea Dog finding peace at an anchorage around Palm Island, noting how the constant wind and swell that had previously rocked his boat have finally calmed. The tranquility emphasizes the journey’s transformation from an adventurous hike to a profound reflective experience, mirroring Old Sea Dog’s transition from merely seeking physical challenges to connecting deeply with the environment and those who share it.

So, as we wrap up this thrilling episode of hiking, history, and surprises, remember that sometimes, venturing beyond your comfort zone can lead you to some truly magnificent discoveries. And perhaps, much like Old Sea Dog, you too might find solace in the stillness after a long journey.

Safe sailing.


Boat:
White Shadow is a Van De Stadt ‘Seal’ 36 (11 metres). She is hand made in steel, 2004, with a round bilge (hull) and a modified coach roof. This makes her a ‘one off’ and in my opinion the most beautiful Van De Stadt 36 ever built.

The camera gear:
Main camera is a Panasonic Hc- V700 with a Rode External mic with a sponge and dead kitten attached.
Action, underwater scenes and small blogging is done with two Osmo action cams. Some boat shots are done with a Dji gimbal camera.

Editing:
Final cut pro on a Macbook. Most of the material for each video is filmed over a period of several weeks or so and the editing of each episode is normally done over a day. This process can take longer if original music is used or permissions are needed for copyrighted materials etc. Much time is spent sorting out technical problems. In this case I normally get the help of a younger person who understands computerie stuff!
There are also times when filming, editing and uploading is not possible due to being at sea or in locations with no internet access.

Content:
I have found that filming and releasing material over a period of time is better than doing ‘vlog’ style videos and trying to make episodes out of whats happened in a week, regardless if it’s good content or not. By filming over a period of time I can be more selective in what goes into each video. My aim is to avoid ‘bland and mundane’ and have at least one or two exciting and interesting events in every video. Every video has to be entertaining.

Comments and being at sea:
I love reading your comments. Most weeks Im able to read everyone. I cant reply to everybody but I do read and enjoy them. Keep them coming! There are times that It might seem I'm not on the internet for certain periods, this is normally when Im at sea on passage. While Im out on the Ocean I have completely no communications with the outside World.
