What is it REALLY like living full-time on a boat with kids?
From the outside, boat life can look pretty idyllic — waking up in beautiful places, swimming off the boat, exploring islands and having adventures as a family.
But the reality is… it’s not always that simple.
Living on a 38-foot sailbo...
We’re back at Middle Percy Island! 🌴⛵
After a pretty disastrous start to our stay — blocked toilets, hungry kids, a BBQ fire, burnt dinner and a very rolly anchorage — things finally started looking up!
We explored this remote little slice of Queensland, visited the working homestead, met the anim...
After six years of sailing our 38ft sailboat, it was finally time for me to learn how to take control of her myself.
When we bought AWRY, Kieran and I always planned to learn together. But a year later we started our family, and without really deciding it, we naturally fell into our roles — Kieran ...

Hi everyone,
It's time to sail south again but unfortunately the winds are not favourable. We have no choice but to make ground as we have only 4 weeks to get to Brisbane to catch a flight to Dublin, Ireland. Let's just say it's far from smooth sailing on all accounts and its going ...

Hi all,
In this weeks episode we head for Middle Percy Island. After a sleepless night at anchor and some rather rolly seas we start to question if sailing is really worth it, should we just buy a campervan?

Famous for its iconic A-Frame shack and a long-standing tradition of hospitality afforded to cruising sailors, Middle Percy Island is one of those ‘must-see’ destinations on Australia’s east coast and a place where many of us have left a piece of our hearts (or at least a memento to our boats!).

What began as an easy downwind sail from Port Clinton to Middle Percy Island on Australia’s Great Barrier Reef became more complicated as the wind and sea state built, we had a near collision with a huge motorboat and finally we suffered a serious rigging failure in 25-30 knot winds and 2 to 3 metre...
Sixteen years ago, we dropped anchor in West Bay at Middle Percy Island on Australia’s east coast and left a piece of memorabilia behind.
We were far from alone.
This anchorage is a sailing Mecca, visited by hundreds of cruising sailors each year, all of whom contribute in some way to the décor ...
We sailed 79 miles to Brampton Island from Middle Percy Island to shelter from a strong blow coming from the South East. After sitting out days of wind and rain secure in the anchorage, we were rewarded with some perfect days to enjoy this tropical oasis. They were the sort of days that remind us wh...

It's not every day an eagle attacks your drone right? We had sailed out to the Percy Isles in some not so fair weather, dropped the anchor, made for shore, foraged, swam.... and wondered if our drone would make i...

You never realize just how big Australia is until you have to sail up the coast. Spoiler alert... it's big!
We started out this leg of our trip with an overnight passage up to Fraser Island. But to get into Fraser from the south, you have to cross the Wide Bay Bar, aka "The Mad Mile.&q...
