My new Mainsail was waiting for me at Keppel Bay Marina. Made in 7 days then shipped up from the Gold Coast this was a super quick turn around. Also waiting there was my new Raymarine chart plotter and some engine parts. Weewah left the boat here, he was p...

@Thenewkidsonthedock Trade Runner came with an old Spinnaker and today I got it out for the first time. She's an absolute beauty! I also meet up with Josh & Phoebe from the YT channel "New kids on the dock". They come over to chat about passage planni...

The Mad Dash continue ! Next Tuesday, Vernon is taking you along 3 days of sailing, from Middle Percy Island to Airlie Beach in the Whitsundays. Ready to come aboard Trade Runner with us ?

From Mid Percy Island to AIrlie Beach, we had 3 amazing days of sailing, hard to beat really. Good solid winds, warm weather, other boats to race and great company. Trade Runner really is in her stride now and I feel like I have a good grip on her strength...

@Collision @propspeed @Australia Boat yards are never fun but when its an unplanned and unwanted haul out its even less enjoyable. Because Trade Runner was damaged in a collision this work needed to be done before I could continue on to Indonesia. I wa...

Trade Runner is back in the water and better than ever! After a week on the hard stand repairing the collision damage we get going north again and we are ripping. My new crew member John is pretty excited and I'm loving the strong downwind sailing too. Ne...

#sailing #queensland #cooktown Double Rainbows, wind, rain, squalls, rope in the propeller, new top speed, this passage had it all and we loved it all. You feel alive when your heart is beating. Cairns to an overnight anchorage at the Low-Isles then on to ...

#sailing #queensland #LizardIsland 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...

#sailing #drone #dronephotography Wow, now that was an amazing day! Up before dawn to go check out the Yintayin rock shelter on Stanley Island, traditional homeland of the Aba Yalgayi. They lived around this area for at least 6000 years and got moved aw...

#sailing #offgrid #capeyork Sailing 2500 miles up the East coast of Australia I finally make it to Cape York, the northern most point on the continent. Its been a trek, with a destroyed mainsail and a collision at sea but also some amazing sailing days...

#sailing #solosailing #solotravel Sailing the 800 miles from Thursday Island to Darwin alone will be the biggest challenge I've faced yet since owning Trade Runner. I've done plenty of solo passages before and actually really enjoy them but so far only on...

#sailing #solosailing #maxspeed Sailing on my own to Darwin today. Not much wind so I decided to see how well I can tune the sails to get the maximum out of my Crowther performance catamaran. I had a sea bird come land on deck. I named him Fred and he sta...

#sailing #Learningbydoing #sailor Sailing is this mans passion and Sailing is what he's done, a lot of it! Peter Smith has sailed over 350,000 miles in the boat he designed and built himself. For a lot of these miles he has been sailing in the high latitu...

#sailing #lombok #indonesia We are BACK! Our sailing Catamaran Trade Runner has been sitting empty in Lombok since September while we were in France having a baby. Well, our baby Eli is now 3 months old and its time to introduce him to his new home and ...

Owning a Sailboat means WORK. The Trampolines on Trade Runner were getting a bit dangerous but it was a job Id been putting off as it was not going to be easy. We found ourselves in a great spot to finally do it thoughts there was an Aluminium welder nearb...

Sorry, no video this week, we had a SHITuation to deal with. Updates next week

What a terrible night, stuck on a reef, wind howling and all alone! At 4am we were awakened by a super strong squall rolling over us. Within minutes our anchor had dragged and we were blown sideways onto a coral reef. In crazy wild condition we did what we...

Our poor sailboat sustained some damage when a squall blew us onto a reef. Repairing Trade Runner meant hauling the boat out of the water and in Indonesia this can be fraught with danger as the facilities are a bit sketchy. It wouldn't be till the boat was...

After a week in the boat yard we'd eaten all our fresh food and it was time to go shopping. Now this is often quite the adventure in small town Indonesia as it means going to a local Pasar or fresh market. No-one speaks english and theres a confusing amoun...

Sailing to the enchanting tropical island of Gili Air we enjoy a few days rest and relaxation after our challenging last few weeks. This is our last day and we plan to enjoy the last western food and other luxuries that the island has to offer before we sa...

An epic sail followed by an epic adventure in family. This is what life is all about. A 30nm sail in pretty calm seas with 15kts of wind is what makes my smile wide. Trade Runner gets along so well even though I was running a very conservative sail plan. O...

Sailing full time can be very challenging! There is so much out of our control, so much that can go wrong. Marie is feeling pretty upset during a very rough crossing from Sumbawa to Sulawesi, wondering why we are even doing this. Our 5 month old son Eli ...
