30 Knots and a Sea That Won’t Quit

When the Pacific gets rough! A few days of strong winds and big swells on our sail from New Zealand to Fiji. #sailaroundtheworld #offshoresailing #sailing #pacificocean #storm
Smashed by a Wave at the Worst Moment

Smashed by a Wave at the Worst Moment

A 3 metre swell right on the beam, and every now and then a huge wave would come crashing over the back of the boat. One of them decided to do exactly that the moment I stepped back there, so I got completely smashed. Pretty unpleasant, I'll admit. #sailaroundtheworld #offshoresailing #sailin...

Day One of the Worst Ocean Passage of My Life (Sailing to Fiji)

Day one of sailing from New Zealand to Fiji. Sunshine, flat seas, and the perfect start to what would become the worst passage of this trip so far! #offshoresailing #sailing #pacificocean #boatlife
The Perfect Start to an Ocean Passage
Untide

The Perfect Start to an Ocean Passage

A dreamy start to the passage. 12 to 13 knots of wind just aft of the beam, full sail, and Elixir doing six and a half to seven knots in exactly the right direction. The wind was forecast to build later on, but it looked like it would stay on the beam the whole way, so we were hoping for a fast one...

Leaving New Zealand to Sail 1,200 Miles to Fiji

A big moment! Finally leaving NZ after over two years, to sail 1,200 miles to Fiji. It was a chilled start to the trip, but somehow we all knew it wouldn't stay like that. #sailaroundtheworld #offshoresailing #sailing #newzealand #fiji

Up the Mast for a Rig Check (Before Sailing to Fiji)

A quick rig check before we set sail on the 1,200 mile passage to Fiji. This crossing is a notorious one, and the chances of us running into some nasty conditions on the way up was high, so it was importing to make sure Elixir was ready for it. #sailaroundtheworld #offshoresailing #sailing #boatli...
The First Shakedown After a Two-Year Refit
Untide

The First Shakedown After a Two-Year Refit

All in all, a pretty successful shakedown. It was tiring. A lot of wind the day before, plenty more through the night, and now it had swung around so we were working our way upwind to get around Cape Brett, the last headland before the Bay of Islands. But I was stoked with everything on board. The...

Elixir’s wild shakedown sail!

Arriving in the Bay of Islands after Elixir’s wild shakedown sail, and thankfully, nothing broke. Next up, we have 1,200 miles of open ocean to cross to reach Fiji! #sailaroundtheworld #offshoresailing #sailing #newzealand #boatlife

How We Sail Through the Night With Two People

It was such a hectic departure, that we didn’t have time to finish installing the auto pilot, and Rachel and I had to take it in turns steering for 30 hours straight! #sailaroundtheworld #offshoresailing #sailing #nightsailing #boatlife
35 Knots on the Beam Up the Coromandel
Untide

35 Knots on the Beam Up the Coromandel

A hectic day sailing up the Coromandel Peninsula. This was the first time we’d sailed Elixir in over two years, after a huge refit, and it was certainly an intense shakedown sail. Although it was gusty, it was blowing from the land, so the seas were flat. And this was just a taste of the condition...

Three Reefs and Still Overpowered (Sailing in New Zealand)

A huge day, as this was the first time we’d taken Elixir sailing in over two years! We had some classic New Zealand conditions, with 35 knot winds rolling down from The hills. Elixir took it all in her stride and it felt amazing to be back on the water again. #sailaroundtheworld #offshoresailing ...

Leaving Mount Maunganui 😭

Our final morning in Mount Maunganui before leaving to sail north to The Bay of Islands, Fiji and the South Pacific! #sailaroundtheworld #boatlife #newzealand #offshoresailing #explore
We ran aground!
Untide

We ran aground!

We ran aground on Elixir (again)! Elixir and Echo were both rafted together on a mooring, and amidst all the chaos of moving our stuff, we forgot to check the depth sounder. The tide went out, Elixir’s keel touched the bottom, and all of a sudden we were stuck. More from this night on our YouTub...

The Night Before We Left New Zealand

9pm the night before departure, and Elixir was absolute chaos. After a year of living between two boats, it was time to consolidate all of our stuff into Elixir, and say goodbye to Echo (for now). And although we’re leaving Echo in New Zealand, we will be sure to come back for more sailing around t...

Finally leaving New Zealand to Sail to Fiji!

Finally leaving the marina after Elixir’s massive refit! It literally felt like this day would never come, but here we are. Motoring out of the marina, heading north, and (almost) ready to go x #sailaroundtheworld #boatlife #refit #newzealand #offshoresailing
