It’s finally time to install the two new sinks in Nutshell’s galley.
This is something which we have wanting to do for a very long time. We were restricted by the state of the plumbing underneath and also the fact that we hadn’t been able to really check the integrity of the through hull under the ...
It’s time to get Nutty back in the water and where she belongs.
We leave Rosshaven Marine and head back over to Magnetic Island. Then it’s back to Townsville again to pick up parts and explore the Strand foreshore.
Magnus starts on the ‘simple’ job of putting the navigation light back on after it ...
Now that we have our new sails we can finally install the headsail furling Reefurl Furler.
It’s simple to install and is provided with easy to follow instructions. Nothing has been left to chance.
Thanks for watching.
Until next time…

We’re up on the hard at the Rosshaven Marine boatyard. It’s time to sort the new sails out.
Magnus begins by putting the new staysail on the Reefurl furler which we installed quite some time ago in 35 knot winds!
Meanwhile Wendy is busy painting the plinth for the new toilet to go in later on.

Magnus goes about checking the through hull and finds that the one in the gallery has corroded away and is only begin attached t...
We head off for the long walk up to the historic forts on Magnetic Island.
It’s worth the hike, if only for the amazing view from the top.
On Sunday we take a look at the little market on the beach.
Then it’s time to say goodbye to Magnetic Island and do a short sail to the mainland to Rosshaven ...
It’s time to work on the solar regulars for Nutshell. Magnus does the install and wiring and we now have high tech stuff on Nutshell!
We leave Bowen and make our way to Cape Upstart and check out the little beach and the ‘beach shacks’ which line the shore.
Then we head off to Cape Bowling Green w...
We go ashore and explore Grassy Island and then slowly make our way up the coast to Gloucester Island.
There’s a great pub nearby at Dingo Beach, but unfortunately we can’t stop there because the tides are not in our favour.
A lovely sail…
Thanks for watching.
Until next time…

We leave the Great Barrier Reef and head back towards Airlie Beach. We stop on the way for a night at Black Island.
After a couple of days of sorting stuff, installing a new water filter and tidying up the saloon, we finally actually leave and head north!
We hope you enjoy this episode. This is th...

Nutshell gets a good clean and we take Peanut out and about to look around and to try and find a pathway through the myriad of bommies!
The water is calm and cl...
It’s day one and we head to the public jetty to fill Nutshell with water and give her a final wash-down before heading off on our sail to the Great Barrier Reef.
It’s a shakedown cruise for us to make sure that Nutty is safe and ready for our imminent sail north.
We stop at Hook Island and have a ...
It’s only a matter of days now before we sail away on Nutshell.
There’s still so much to do but we have decided that we are just going to go and we’ll work out the details along the way! Like they say, sailing is just fixing things in exotic locations!
So, in this episode Wendy attempts to rejuven...
Sit back and relax as we take you on a delightful bush walk up to the Hill Inlet lookout. Hill Inlet is at the northern end of Whitsunday Island and the view of Whitehaven Beach and the Inlet is absolutely breathtaking. So, it’s no surprise that Whitehaven Beach is often described as one of the best...
We leave the unimpressive Shaw Island and have a wonderful sail to Chalkies Beach which is opposite the world famous Whitehaven Beach in the Whitsundays.
The planning for this trip is very intense as Magnus does the maths and checks it twice to ensure that we make it through the Solway Passage safe...
While we wait out the bad weather, we take the opportunity to look around Cid Harbour. We take Peanut out along the banks to explore the beautiful scenery. We find so many waterfalls which are abundant due to the days and days of relentless rain.
We can’t stay here forever, so once a small weather ...
After spending quite a few very rainy days sitting out the weather in Gulnare Inlet we decide to just go for it and take Peanut up the creek in search of a potential cyclone bolt hole. It’s absolutely beautiful with mangroves, Norfolk pines and giant fruit balls!
The rain just doesn’t cease.
We ha...
We leave Stonehaven Bay with a much cleaner bottom and sail across to Happy Bay.
We don’t get to stay there long because there’s a storm brewing and we need to find a more protected anchorage.
We can’t go forward because the forecasted winds are going to change direction and we will end up on a le...
With road trips, brewery visits and beer tasting over for a while, we get back to all things boaty.
We fix the mizzen sail and make a new cover for the hatch, all thanks to Greg for the donation of the sail.
We have a good friend on board, Simone. We head out to the Whitsunday Islands for a good e...
After arriving back at the farm, it’s a quick turnaround to swap cars and begin the drive south to Brisbane, to see our kids.
