The Unusual Reason We Left Everything to go Sailing
In 2020, we were young with no money behind us, just this sailboat as our home. But if we could live cheaply and find reception, we could set off on a circumnavigation of Australia. Now, years later, we’re celebrating the end of a chapter. Kicking it all off is the relaunch of our boat in Hobart. With sparkling topsides and fresh antifoul, we’re ready to splash and get underway, near and far, there’s just one thing that may stop us in our tracks.

With very little free time between uni and the boat, Patreon enables us to focus on creating and posting videos rather than pouring beers at our local.
