In this episode the mast and equipment at the top needed a good clean after all the sand from the Sahara that was blown across over the winter.

Yes this is the one you have been waiting for!! We set sail aboard Dream to a local natural anchorage and on route we give DREAM a bit of a shake down to see what she will do.
A couple of days later we set off on our first proper sail, just over 80 miles and 17 hours of sailing. We planned it so we...
Step 1 of our quest to sail around the world begins!
We board a plane from Australia to Croatia to find a yacht fit enough to sail around the world. Our first yacht no less.
We were warned it wouldn't be easy, and my goodness they were right. There were hiccups, twists, turns, tears of both h...
This is more of a maintenance video, as the Hood Formula electric mainsail furler we disassembled in the previous episode is reassembled, painted, installed, and used. There is a real skill set to using in-mast furling systems of all types, and I list some tips on these at the end.
Sitting in the marina we take the opportunity to tackle a few jobs, then explore the Townsville markets. Darren slashes his finger with a super sharp blade, so Meggie brings out the toothbrush!
We also share details of an important Citizen Science project (The Secchi Disc Study) that we'd lo...
After over-nighting at Cape Bowling Green we move on towards Townsville - not before Meggie shares her sneaky breakfast muesli recipe!

The Royal Yacht Association (RYA) website is a bit confusing to try and wade through what is needed and what is not needed or required for sailing offshore. This week we share we figured this out, what exact courses are required, what it costs, and what you get for it. We started with Ocean Sailing ...
Cape Upstart is a strange place full of holiday houses with not a soul in sight! We explore the stunning headland, find myriads of abandoned tractors - and a coconut.

We also fix our some loo issues when our toilet pum...
Linton Marina. Hauling out the boat. The Shadmiester comes ashore for a long overdue wash and brush up. A lot of work to do to change a dirty bottom into a smooth one!
It's not all work, time to party with Malin and Johan from Ran and I take to the stage and play a few songs!
Thank you for wa...
Our old 1950's sewing machine was a monster who loved eating anything you put under its foot. It was time to swap it out for something much more practical - so after much research and pondering we took a gamble - and bought a REX.
The REX is a copy of the famous SAILRITE - and it had received...
This week we look at more spares which our viewers suggested. Excellent suggestions! And we look at SSB radios. Do we need SSB radio? What additional value will SSB bring? Did technology not surpassed SSB?

In this episode we find out the winter tent and Carl gets to work putting it up. It is a great piece of equipment as it allows us to use the cockpit the whole way through the winter period. We also take delivery of our new GoPro6 and give it a bit of a test.
-----------------------------------------...
This week we share what we think we may need in general, but with an eye on the long cold trip around Europe. What spares does one need? How many? Where do you store it? This is always the clash...one may be able to buy two of each pump or valve or pipe or screw or lines....but where do you store it...
At long last we get to relaunch our boat, a Bavaria 47 named Dream. A few nervous moments as the lift picks the boat up and carries it to the slipway. It's a few days before Christmas in this episode so we have a walk up into town to see the festivity preparations and meet up with some friends....
After sailing out to Border Island and declaring it a most beautiful Island, Darren spots tiny Deloraine Islet shimmering in the sunlight. We head on over to explore this little gem.
