E92 - Granite Skywalk, Beautiful Beaches, and Cleaning Climate Action Now for Lisa Blair
After hiring a car we head inland to explore the Granite Skywalk (Castle Rock) where we find that a little research would have prepared us for the 2 hour hike uphill to the beautiful 360 degree views. We head to Elephant Rock to one of the most spectacular and protected swimming beaches from the southern ocean swells. After visiting the ANZAC memorial we inspect the amazing Chainsaw Sculptures. After watching the 2022 New Years fireworks from our boats, @LisaBlairSailstheWorld arrives in preparation for her attempt to set the record to solo circumnavigate of Antarctica (which he has now beaten and set at 92 days). After Jo and Karen offer the assistance of Chris and Pete, the boys help Lisa unload her yacht and even get roped in for vacuuming and scrubbing! With a weather window beginning to form, we leave the marina and head out into the bay anchoring near the Cheyne's II shipwreck in preparation to sailing east towards Esperance.

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.
