95 – Does The Boat Work Ever End??
Sailing around the world on a boat is a lot of work. Sometimes, it's more work than others. We had a stretch of about three months where it felt like we were constantly working on boat projects. Even after Starry Horizons got a lot of TLC at The Boat Works, we still had to work through some ...
94 – Up the Inside Passage to Moreton Bay
There's a lot to explore on the east coast of Australia and we began by taking the inside passage from the Gold Coast up to Moreton Bay. This was a great way to get used to life on the water again as it had been waaaay too long since we'd properly cruised aboard Starry Horizons. Our frie...

92 – Cheating on Starry Horizons in the Ningaloo Reef
We love our boat, we really do. But she was over on the East Coast of Australia and we wanted to go sailing on Ningaloo Reef on the West Coast. What to do? What to do? It was a tough choice (not really), but we hopped on a 3 night dive charter aboard Shore Thing with Sail Ningaloo. And had an a...

86 – Motoring All the Way to the Gold Coast
It is always our preference to sail, but when faced with the choice of sailing in high southerly winds and huge swells (against the EAC) or motoring in light airs, Starry Horizons became a motor boat. We hoped that motoring would make this passage pretty easy, but Neptune had a few challenges to th...
85 – ‘Roo Hunting In Lake Macquarie

83 – Ridin’ the EAC to Sydney!
It's always nice to get a speed boost when on a passage and the East Australian Current is about as big as they get. Sailing down from Coffs Harbour to Sydney, we went out to the 100 meter depth line and started flying. The wind was from the north and we had a wide window to arrive in Sydney ...
