A.I.S self installation. Am I Safe now? (Learning By Doing Ep226)

Marie enjoys a steaming hot shower (Learning By Doing Ep221)
Fresh water, or the lack of it is the one thing that means we have to return to civilisation. I dont really want to install a water maker so that mean we need to conserve the water we carry and catch as much as possible when it rains. This video is about c...

Solo Sailing Catamaran’s, good idea or bad? (Learning By Doing Ep219)
I’ve always loved solo sailing, Sailing alone on a Catamaran is a lot different from a monohull though, this I learnt. I’m yet to decide if I’ll solo sail my Cat on longer passage though as the danger seems to be much higher. I solo sailed my mono m...

Bass Straight passage FAILURE. (Learning By Doing Ep215)
Off we go, across the Bass Straight to Tasmania. We didnt get very far though, first the Jib halyard broke then after fixing that and sailing on one of the job sheets snapped. That was enough, I lost all trust in the running rigging and for the first time ...
200+ miles on our first real passage. Too easy! (Learning By Doing Ep214)
Our first overnight passage on our new Catamaran, Trade Runner. Pittwater south to Eden, NSW is about 240 nautical miles and we picked a pretty mellow wind for this one. There is a good south running current about 15 miles offshore so we sailed out there a...

Moving aboard our new Boat! (Learning By Doing Ep212)
Moving Time! The process of packing up our old home (Schiehallion) and moving all that stuff to our new home (Trade Runner) is a big one. Accumulated stuff has to be sorted through, junk thrown away. Then everything needs to be transported over, all of by ...
WHAT?? Our boat Sold in 2 DAYS! 😱 (Learning By Doing Ep211)

Fastest Passage OR Last Passage on Schiehallion? (Learning By Doing Ep209)
Our current passage record of 176nm in 24hrs is under threat this week as we sail from Yamba 240nm south to Port Stephens. With a good wind forecast and the strong south flowing current it looked good for a possible 200nm 24hr run. Did we make it? Also, we...
Overnight passage with my 70yo MUM! (Learning By Doing Ep208)
Leaving the extremely loud and busy Gold Coast we sail the 240nm south to Yamba. Marie gets pretty stressed when we haven't been doing long passages for a while and this time it happened again. She felt scared, seasick and just generally unwell. The trip w...
