LIFE ON A SAILBOAT, IT FEELS GOOD TO BE HOME | skurfing, sailing, whales & dunes S1CH.22
DAMN it feels good to be home, we’re back aboard our sailboat Nakama, our floating home. We are so grateful to have our home back out on the water where she belongs. What a journey it has been, from broken bones leading to a surgery we feel better than ever to be back on the water, especially with our fellow sailor friends. We’re cruising in company this week, we have whales brushing against our hull and hear their song as we sleep. We enjoy sunset anchored off Fraser Island, the worlds biggest sand island. We wake to whales and dolphins and exercise the body with some skurfing and dune sliding. Welcome to yacht life in Australia.
This is Sage aboard his 1$ cat!
