The weather has been very windy since we’ve been back in Airlie Beach so we haven’t had the opportunity to move Nutshell and remove and work on the broken gear box.

We are on the last leg of our journey to our home town of Airlie Beach, we can almost see it in the distance, but again, we are becalmed. The tide is against us and we can’t afford to keep using Peanut’s motor to get us home or we will run out of fuel!...
We leave the Great Sandy Strait and begin the sail north to Airlie Beach. We have no engine, and the only forward propulsion that we have is with little Evi, Peanut’s outboard.
We decide to head out to sea and go north, but there are constant northerlie...

This is a longer version of the Back & Fill section in Episode 10.
Many people ask us about techniques for manoeuvring a long keeled boat. Well we're very lucky as we have a very good bow thruster so it's not so difficult for us. But a bow thruster is ...

It’s a bit scary going under our first power line and not knowing if Nutshell will actually fit!
We get new mud crab nets and are eager to put down the pots and ...

Shane helps us out immensely and Magnus hoists him up the mast to install the shiny, new spinnaker halyards.
Nutshell makes a splash in the water and then we begin our journey heading north around A...
It’s time to sand and paint Nutshell’s bottom. She gets lots of TLC from the both of us and Shane, our son and it’s not long before she is looking fabulous!

We continue to try and sail to Australia but the weather is definitely against us. After 6 days at sea we have no choice but to motor the last three to four days to make it to Australia.

We check out a hot spring, which ends up not being so hot!
We poke aroun...

The Hans Christian 33 and 41 are two of my all-time favorite boats because they are pure. They are true heavy-displacement cruising vessels and make no compromises. They were expertly designed, built, and laid out for a cruising couple or small family, and...
