We are the first foreign boat to arrive in Australia - and no one has any idea what to do with us... This is a new chapter in our story. Thank you Australia. Thank you Queensland.

Fiji to Oz: Which boat would you want to be on?! And Santa delivers!π [π₯69π«π―]
We depart Fiji with our buddy boats Zatara and Nadine, destined for Australia. We can't seem to shake that Z-Crew, Santa finds our red boat in the middle of the ocean, and we find out who wins the fishing contest. Dive in to find out! Footage aboard Zatar...![Every sailorβs nightmare: a CAT-5 CYCLONE hits us. [π₯68π«π―]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi_webp/_Ys7sTIVjxQ/maxresdefault.webp)
Every sailorβs nightmare: a CAT-5 CYCLONE hits us. [π₯68π«π―]
By the time Cyclone Yasa hit us, it was the 2nd largest in South Pacific history and a "Strong Category-Five" storm. It was as harrowing experience we would rather not have again... This video covers the month of December, 2020. We should be all caught up...![Two CYCLONES?! What a CRAZY Year. [π₯67π«π―]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi_webp/J1SsS2nHJhA/maxresdefault.webp)
Two CYCLONES?! What a CRAZY Year. [π₯67π«π―]
As we try to flee Cyclone Season, we get approval from Australia to enter, but then Queensland changes the State's rules that count-time-at-sea. As we apply for an exemption, we get hit by the first tropical low of the season. But then it turns into TWO tr...![Escape Plans Denied [π₯66π«π―]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi_webp/Z03Q-Js-JbQ/maxresdefault.webp)
Escape Plans Denied [π₯66π«π―]

Can you race a cruising catamaran (and win!)? [π₯65π«π―]
We enter Archer into the Musket Cove Regatta, which was the ONLY large scale, International sailing regatta of 2020. We felt so lucky to partake and it was a celebration of sailing, Fiji and life in general! If you ever make it to Fiji, stay in Musket Cove...![Being a kid again in Fiji: racing, river-sliding & scuba diving! [π₯64π«π―]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi_webp/axpeXW-ALTI/maxresdefault.webp)

How could you not be as excited as a kid in Fiji? In this episode we race Archer against our friends Pu (and blow a mainsail halyard in the process!).

Fiji’s Sinking Village [π₯62π«π―]
Ogea didn't cause this crisis, but they're feeling it. In this episode we talk to the village leaders about their efforts to raise the earth by hand and the impact that rising sea levels will continue to have on their village. It's not our usual type of tr...![βStay Long’a in Fulaga” – Remote Fiji [π₯61π«π―]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi_webp/qgRxyVl6yDM/maxresdefault.webp)
βStay Long’a in Fulaga” – Remote Fiji [π₯61π«π―]
This is the dream: You're sailing around the world and visit a stunningly beautiful island where you are welcomed by the village Chief.

We are the only tourists in Fiji. [π₯60π«π―]
We're the ONLY ones. A collection of perhaps 20 boats and, thankfully, 6 with kids. In this episode we gather at the famous Blue Lagoon (the G-Rated version!) and break out all the toys. We surf, kite, sail, foil, hike and catch a show. It's not clear thou...![Castaways, Manta Rays, Birthdays & Mohawks?! [π₯59π«π―]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi_webp/YAFZQYGB46c/maxresdefault.webp)
Castaways, Manta Rays, Birthdays & Mohawks?! [π₯59π«π―]

Welcome to Fiji (where is everybody?) [π₯58π«π―]
We finish our quarantine and enter Fiji, but are surprised at what we find. As one of just a few tourists in the island group, we find the resorts are closed, the surf breaks are empty and the locals inquisitive. It is as if we are visiting Fiji before the...![Making a “Break” for it! 1,300nm passage to Fiji. [π₯57π³πΏ]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi_webp/HMTuKLR0q3I/maxresdefault.webp)
Making a “Break” for it! 1,300nm passage to Fiji. [π₯57π³πΏ]
More things break on our trip from NZ to Fiji. Why does this keep happening to us!? And why does it happen so often at night!? We finally get approval to travel to Fiji and we leave New Zealand for warmer waters. Play a little Pirate Tag at sea, catch so...![Trapped In NZ & Making the Best of It!
