We get a beautiful downwind sail from Port Sandwich on Malekula Island to Aore Island in the Vanuatu island chain.

In this episode we have a beautiful breakfast made by Bennington in Lamen Bay. (If you’re ever in Lamen Bay make sure you say ‘Hi’ to Bennington and Chief Kennet).

After a hairy start leaving Port Vila in the dark We have an epic sail and get Torea cracking along at 10knots on the journey North from Port Vila to Foreland, Epi Island. It’s about 70nm and we get in well before dark so there’s plenty of time to introduce ourselves to the village.
With the anchor...

We spend our time in Erromango free diving the beautiful structures around the bay. The Maritime Police pay us a visit and make sure we entered Vanuatu through the correct avenues.
Then we leave Erromango to head to Port Vila on Efate. We decide that an overnight sail is required so we arrive in da...
In this episode we get to experience a once in a lifetime moment with the mighty Mt. Yasur on the island of Tanna, Vanuatu.

The kite surfing scene in New Caledonia is world class, in fact the French love anything on water that uses wind power, kite surfing, wind surfing, sailing, they do it all. We got amongst the local scene in the tourist area Anse Vata in Noumea. Kris had a blast out there, while Bella continued to im...
MATO POTATO! Yes Ilot Mato puts on a show! This is a very special slice of paradise in the Southern Lagoon of New Caledonia. On this particular visit to the anchorage we were totally spoiled with glassy turquoise water, clear skies and loads of sharks.
There’s plenty of drone footage in this episod...
Ilot Uatio is in the Southern Lagoon of New Caledonia and it was a place where dreams come true! We made friends with another ‘kid boat’ and Finn was invited to have a sleepover, they also taught him how to windsurf and Bella had a go too.
It was very idyllic, sunsets, clear water, reef to explore,...
Time to fix the hole in our boat! We get hauled out in Noumea and spend 48 hours on the hardstand to replace two ball valves and throw another coat of antifoul on.
It’s a whirlwind but worth it to replace the ball valves which both had snapped stems with Trudesign plastic ball valves. Have a watch...

SHARK! Under our boat at a popular anchorage in New Caledonia we spotted what we believe to be a Grey Nurse shark… we’re not entirely sure though so if you know, leave a comment.
We head out for a fun wave at Passe Dumbea with plenty of party waves. Then we discover a local boat that has wrecked o...
Well this video comes with a little word of warning… if you’re not at all interested in boat jobs then you may want to wait till the next episode because as it turns out, fixing a leech cord while the sail is still attached to your boat is a longer process than first thought.
We also have a chat a...
In this episode Pippi, our four year old, goes kiting ‘koala style’ on Dad’s back. She loves it! We explore Ilot Signal and surf Dumbea Pass and then give you a run down on how we adventure with our trusty tender.

We sail to Baie Maa to hide from the South Easterly trade winds for a couple of days. While we're there we explore the area and it seems that no one is around. Where are all the people? We walk through a village that maybe only has visitors over summer, and then discover an abandoned home right...
Welcome to our galley. Ever wondered how we feed our hungry sailors?
Here is a quick little insight into breakfast on passage - Good ol’ porridge. It’s a belly filler!
We use this method of boiling the water first and letting the oats soak it up rather than stand over the stove and stir the whole ...
After months of not surfing we get out to the reef break at Dumbea Pass in New Caledonia. It’s our first time dropping the anchor on a reef pass and the windlass stops working! Ahhh not cool!! We manage to rectify the issue and jump off the yacht for a surf but then loose the go pro…
Even with the...
