Following in CAPTAIN COOKS Footsteps Sailing Lizard Island to Thursday Island in AUSTRALIA Ep 219
May 11, 2025 by Mothership Adrift Travel and Sailing | Language: EN Play Time: 00:17:40 | SAILING YOUTUBERS
We have had Lizard Island on our bucket list for a while but living on a boat means there are always reasons why you can’t make it. However, we did finally get there and the sailing was superb. Once on the island we decided to follow in Captain Cooks footsteps and hike to the look out point at the top . We did it for the exercise but they would have done it to figure out how to navigate and get out of the reef system. As we sail along we realise how tricky it is navigating in these waters. Reefs pop out from nowhere so you have to keep a good lookout at all times.
We sail to the most Northern point in Australia and arrive in Hook Island and then the next day cross to Thursday Island where we check out of Australia.

Mothership Adrift Travel and Sailing
We're a UK family who have saved over many years to live the dream of travelling the world with our kids. We sold our belongings, closed our business and rented our house to buy a 20 year old sailboat . We want to show the kids that there is a bigger world out there and to appreciate the simple things in life, things that you find in the sea, the woods, up mountains, along the beach , the sky and the stars. Our dream of cruising and exploring the world's oceans is matched with a desire to live a more off-grid and sustainable lifestyle. A background as RYA instructors, flotilla skippers and RNLI crew only partly prepared us for the challenges of a live-aboard life! From buying a boat to homeschooling the kids, from cooking on a budget to making money while we travel, from sailboat maintenance to visiting amazing places - join our journey and share in our world adventure, as well as the challenges of family life, through our series of video blogs.
