This week we sail from Cooktown to Lizard Island, a short passage of 55nm. Our first upwind passage since fixing the boat though and I’m interested to see if the repaired Daggerboard will hold. We had 20-25kts all day and multiple squalls rolling through with ferocious downpours of rains each time. A huge female Humpback whale came from no-where and breached very close by, exciting for sure but a little sketchy too!
We had a couple of days “holiday” at Lizard Island and thoroughly enjoyed it there. What a magnificent tropical paradise!
Thanks for watching.

Snapped Engine mounts, sweat, blood, tears and swearing RAW. (ep 289)
After a collision with a submerged log I discovered that the impact had snapped all four engine mounts on my port engine. I was in a pretty remote location with no access to new ones so it was up to me to figure it out. A four day repair mission of sweat, ...
Sailing Solo again. 360 mile passage with a disastrous ending! (ep 288)
So I'm sailing Solo again! I'm really looking forward to this 1000nm trip. Marie and Eli are in France and will join me in 5 weeks, obviously I'm missing them a great deal but daily video calls make it easier. I'm starting off with a 360 mile passage fro...
Getting diesel with a horse and cart, LOMBOK style. (ep 287)

Decision time, Aluminium Project boat or Keep our Catamaran? (ep 286)

Shall I buy this HUGE Aluminium project boat? (ep 285)
Ivanhoe is a 54ft Aluminium sailing boat that is in total disrepair. I fly to Australia just to look this boat over and to see if it's the right project for us to take on. She was built as a flat-topped racing boat, then years later changes were made to c...
