E79 - Jo's 50th Birthday, Shells & Turtles on Great Sandy & Long Islands
Leaving the Montebello Islands we push into 25-30 knot head winds before reaching the protection of the Australian mainland and Great Sandy Island. Visiting this lovely beach we find a couple huge Bailer Shells, before heading off to Serrurier Island or also know as Long Island. It was turtle mating season and the poor girls were exhausted on the beach trying to get away from the males just waiting in the shallows ready to pounce. We cross paths with 4 other boats including @TheCruisingKiwis, The Wholesome Sailors and Sailing Singularity on the beach, before celebrating Jo's 50th birthday onboard No Regrets. Exploring the other side of the island we find more turtles mating and a humpback whale skeleton.

WHO ARE WE?
We’re Chris and Jo and we have been living on our Seawind 1260 since January 2019. In our first year we bring our yacht down the east coast of Australia and sail it out to New Caledonia. After cruising further north up the east coast of Australia in 2020, we decide to circumnavigate Australia during 2021 and 2022.
We had previously owned fishing and water skiing boats, but after a couple years crewing in South Australia we decided to jump right in and make a sea change.
We are just an ordinary Aussie couple exploring what this great world has to offer and hope that we can inspire others just as we were by watching other YouTube channels to follow our dreams.
