We are the first foreign boat to arrive in Australia - and no one has any idea what to do with us... This is a new chapter in our story. Thank you Australia. Thank you Queensland. We are VERY happy to be here! We are posting live updates on our social ch...

Freedom! We come out of Quarantine and quickly check off a few quintessential Australian adventures: We hit the Gold Coast beaches, cross some treacherous bars, feed some indigenous animals, surf the Superbank, cuddle a Koala, see our first "Salty" and mak...

The boys try killing themselves while Elizabeth tries Vlogging! It doesn't go so well... Join us as we sail over a bar into a remote anchorage called Yellow Patch, and then head on up to the Keppel Islands. (Sorry this VLOG was late. It was Elizabeth's fau...
