Ep 188 | Servicing the Engine and Gearbox Intercoolers, Nutshell Workshop, Australia
While we wait for the parts to arrive for Nutshell’s gearbox, Magnus turns his attention to the two engine intercoolers. They get some love and, of course, the painted treatment.

Ep 186 | The Gearbox Work Begins, Sailing Nutshell, Australia
The weather is calm so we decide to move Nutshell off her first mooring and on to a sturdier, more permanent one, so that we can carry out the boat jobs in relative safety.

Ep 185 | New Peanut Sank! Sailing Nutshell Australia

Ep 184 | Servicing and Reconditioning the Starter Motor, Sailing Nutshell
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.

Ep 183 | Bringing Nutshell Home, Boat Jobs Begin, Sailing Nutshell, Australia
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! So... we wait. We eventually make it to Airlie...
Ep 182 | Mother Nature is Against Us! Trying Hard to Sail Home. No Engine! Sailing Nutshell
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 northerlies and we spend much of the time going backward...
Ep 181 | Fixing Peanut’s Carburettor, Making Baggy Wrinkles, Sailing Nutshell
Now that the drama of the Coast Guard rescue has died down, Magnus gets to work fixing Peanut’s carburettor so that we can continue to head north and out of the Great Sandy Strait into safer, more open waters. There’s a little glitch with the carburettor fix, but in the end Magnus gets Peanut going...
Ep 180 | We Need Help! Coast Guard Rescue, Sailing Nutshell Australia
The saga continues… After a wonderful time sailing through the Great Sandy Straits, we suddenly hit a snag. Peanut’s engine gives out on us and Magnus can’t get her started.

Ep 179 | Plenty of Beer and an Unexpected Turn for the Worst, Sailing Nutshell
We meet up with viewers and spend a lovely lunchtime sampling ales at the Land & Sea Brewery in Noosa. Then we leave the Duckpond and begin the short passage north to Double Island Point, about 50nm away. But, with little wind and engine issues the going is very slow and it takes us much longer...
Ep 178 | New Sail Battens, Fixing the Autopilot Again, and a Shelter for the Dogs, Sailing Nutshell

Ep 176 | Replacing the Seal in our Lofrans Tigres Windlass, Moreton Bay, Sailing Nutshell, Australia

So, we head back into shore early after an unsuccessful fishing trip in the middle of Morton Bay. We take buses into town to get part...
Ep 175 | We’re Outta Cheese! Whipping up Ricotta in the Galley, Moreton Bay, Sailing Nutshell
We continue our journey through the shallow channels of the Brisbane area and Moreton Bay. 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 catch dinner! We run out of cheese, so Magnus...
Ep 174 | Toilet Attention, a Hoist Up the Mast and the Start of the Sail Around Australia

Ep 171 | Worst Nightmare! Engine Failure During Night Time Arrival, Gold Coast, Australia
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.
