88 – Road Trippin’ South Australia
There comes a time when you're just ready to get away from boats for a while. And after a years worth of sailing, capped off by several weeks of projects, we had reached that point. In order to recharge our batteries, we left Starry Horizons on the hard ...
87 – Boat Work at The Boat Works
Starry Horizons needed a bit of TLC so we headed up to The Boat Works in Coomera for a spa day/weeks. Tops on the to-do list was a mini electrical refit to replace our AGM batteries with Lithium. This was a complicated project that was beyond our comfort...
86 – Motoring All the Way to the Gold Coast
It is always our preference to sail, but when faced with the choice of sailing in high southerly winds and huge swells (against the EAC) or motoring in light airs, Starry Horizons became a motor boat. We hoped that motoring would make this passage pretty ...
85 – ‘Roo Hunting In Lake Macquarie
The next stop in our Australian Adventure takes us 40nm up the coast to Lake Macquarie. The sail was pretty easy but the entrance into the lake required us to complete our first bar crossing. These can be incredibly tricky but fortunately, Neptune decide...
84 – New Years in Sydney Harbour Is Absolutely EPIC!
For the last year, we'd had one date circled on the calendar: New Year's Eve in Sydney Harbour. And we finally made it... David's family flew halfway around the world to join us for the holidays and we spent several weeks together exploring Australia. W...
83 – Ridin’ the EAC to Sydney!
It's always nice to get a speed boost when on a passage and the East Australian Current is about as big as they get. Sailing down from Coffs Harbour to Sydney, we went out to the 100 meter depth line and started flying. The wind was from the north and we...
82 – Our Introduction to Australia: Exploring Coffs Harbour
This year, we chose to sail down to Australia in order to escape the South Pacific cyclone zone. And our first port of call was the beautiful Coffs Harbour. We'd arrived just before a big front rolled through that brought southerly winds, so we ended up ...
81 – Sailing to Australia: Our Fastest Passage EVER!
Turns out, sailing fast is rather fun! Who knew??? After our friend Kyle left from New Caledonia it was time to get south for cyclone season so we set sail on the passage to Coffs Harbour, Australia. And it was an absolute blast! The wind was perfect, ...
Swapping From AGM to Lithium Batteries on a Sailboat
After 3 years of sailing on Starry Horizons, the time had come to replace our old AGM battery bank with something new. We were ready for Lithium. Doing the swap over required almost a complete re-work of our 12v electrical system in order to do things pr...
80 – Sailing New Caledonia’s Southern Lagoon
Our friend Kyle visits for round 2 in the South Pacific, this time to go sailing in New Caledonia's Southern Lagoon. We'd made our way back to the main city of Noumea in order to pick him up and once he arrived, we immediately set sail out to the Amedee L...
79 – Cheese, Baguettes and Mexican Food??? Sailing New Caledonia
When you think of New Caledonia and other French territories, your mind immediately goes to cheese, baguettes, wine, pate and all the other French delicacies. So imagine our surprise to find a grocery store full of Mexican food! After redeeming ourselves...
78 – Kava and Lava in Vanuatu
After a rough passage from Fiji, we were looking forward to exploring a new country. We only ended up staying for 5 days, but Port Resolution in Vanuatu definitely didn't disappoint. The big reason for visiting was the chance to hike Mt. Yasur. Oh, and ...
77 – A Fountaine Pajot Regatta to Vanuatu
The time had come to depart Fiji and this time we had a bit of company. Two other Fountaine Pajot catamarans joined us for the passage over to Port Resolution, Vanuatu. But before we could clear out of Fiji, we had to celebrate the Admiral's birthday! O...
76 – Birthdays and Beachcombers in Fiji
Amy's family came to visit us in Fiji! Her mom, Lisa; step-dad, Bob; and uncle Phil joined us for a week of sailing around the Yasawa Group as part of Bob's 60th birthday celebration. We had an absolute blast with them, though I think we've been gone so ...
All Your Sailing Questions Answered
You asked, we answered! And man were there a lot of questions! We got questions ranging from finances (not a surprise), to relationships and even what size shoe we'd wear on the moon. We did our best to answer them all, so hopefully there's something in...
Let’s do a Q&A Video!
You've got questions, we've got answers (or at least some amusing ramblings). Want to know Amy's favorite color (it's blue just FYI), why we chose to sail around the world, or more details about something on Starry Horizons? Ask away! While we're out ...
71 – Fiji’s Bay of Islands: The Most Beautiful Place on Earth
Okay, perhaps that's a bit of hyperbole, but Fiji's Bay of Islands in Vanua Balavu is my pick for the most beautiful place I've ever seen. We had our own private anchorages, were surrounded by unique mushroom rocks, swam in stunningly blue water and even ...
66 – Nature is Freaking Lit
Our Tongan Haapai Group adventure continues as we sail to two new islands: Uoleva and Tatafa. We get to do a bit of racing, a bit of fishing and a bit of exploring. Pretty much everything you want to do in the South Pacific! Along the way we learn up cl...
65 – Sailing to Ha’apai: A Humpback Heat Run
The time had come to explore a new part of Tonga: the Ha'apai Group. It's about a 60 mile sail to get there and along the way we got to encounter those magnificiant reason we came back to Tonga: humpback whales! We got to experience several 'heat runs' w...
64 – Adventure on Kenutu Island
With Starry Horizons back on the mend, we set out to explore a place of the Vava'u Group of Tonga we had never been before: Kenutu Island. This is one of those absolutely picturesque South Pacific Islands. It's surrounded by a reef, uninhabited with a go...
63 – Tongan Boat Yard Blues
After a long awaited return to Starry Horizons in Tonga, we immediately started re-commissioning her and discovered a serious problem. The anodes on our saildrives had completely disappeared and the saildrives had started corroding! This was something th...
62 – Hawaii: Land of Volcanoes, Beaches and Pearl Harbor
This video marks a (dare I say: triumphant?!) return to the chronicles of our world travels. After helping safely deliver s/v Julia across the Pacific, we were in no hurry to leave Hawaii, especially since neither of us had ever visited before! We spent ...
Sailing Around the World – An Out Chasing Stars Presentation
You asked for it, and here it is! This is the presentation we gave at my Grandma's retirement community in Bellevue, WA on April 30, 2017, covering the first half of our sailing circumnavigation. We cover a lot of topics from how we got started and the b...
61 – Sailing S/V Julia Part 4: Our Second Pacific Crossing is Complete!
S/V Julia sailed into Hilo, Hawaii on June 5th after 15 days at sea to mark the end of our second Pacific Crossing! And fortunately, this part of the passage didn't require me to jump in the ocean! Instead, we got to focus on fishing, sailing (after find...
