We are ready for bluewater sailing in the South Pacific Islands, but after our long and challenging upwind adventure, rounding Cape Horn and sailing the Beagle Channel, Straight of Magellan, and the fjords and canals of Patagonia, we needed to do some boat work to get things ship shape and ready to ...
This is my complete step by step guide on "How I Pick, Plan, & Sail 100nm Solo". I've been in Antigua for the past month, but now I need to sail Nortwest to Saint Martin. A distance of 100 nautical miles, and I'll be doing it all alone. Here is exactly how I do this entire pr...
Well this is it, our final days sailing the waters of the world, as we head into Sydney! And Sydney Harbour is as busy and as wonderful as we expected, with all yachts of all persuasions - racing yachts, sailing schools, and other pleasure craft large and small - it really is all quite emotional com...
We're heading down the east coast of Australia, trying to get ahead of a large front with strong southerlies that would hit us right on the nose. Along the way we encounter a frolicking baby whale, and a well-meaning pod of dolphins that try and veer us away from imminent danger!

This is it, our last open ocean sail! We're bound for the east coast of Australia, Southport on the Gold Coast. However heavy winds and waves don't make for a pleasant start as we leave Tanna and Vanuatu! But the bumpy ride and the reception we get from the cuddly (and not so cuddle) anima...
We're sailing for the mythical island of Tanna in Vanuatu, an island forged by volcanoes, where we get up and close with the island's mighty Yasur volcanoe and dive into the hot springs, joined by our viking sailing friends from Scandinavia!

We leave Port Davey and head north to Strahan and Macquarie Harbour. Along the way Chris dops a line and hooks a HUGE Southern Bluefin Tuna. After a quick look around Strahan, we head further into Macquarie Harbour to seek shelter from a westerly change that brings strong winds to 45 knots. With imp...
Leaving the beautiful but dangerous waters of Fiji's Yasawa Islands behind, we sail for Musket Cove, Fiji's yachties' paradise for some R&R, where the coral is lush and the surfing is world-class. But first we need to get past one last dangerous passage...

Leaving Louisa Island we quickly explore New Harbour before exploring Ketchem Bay, where we had been told of a very secluded hidden anchorage. Launching the drone reveals this spectacular this anchorage. After a quick snorkel, we round South West Cape and put the fishing rod out after seeing many sc...
We're sailing out to the poorly-charted waters of north-west Fiji, the Yasawa Islands group, waters strewn with coral reefs, shallows and narrow passes. But despite the potential dangers, we hear it's all worth it with manta rays, underwater caves, and a blue lagoon that happened to make B...
We head into Hobart with our timing perfect, arriving with the Parade of Sails display of the Wooden Boat Festival @australianwoodenboatfestiv3519. With friends visiting from Queensland we anchor No Regrets out the front of Hobart for a spectacular fireworks display.

We're sailing for Fiji! But before we reach these renowned islands of paradise in the South Pacific, we need to navigate low winds (and accept that patience is a virtue when sailing) as well as waters strewn with coral atolls that pose a hazard to unwary sailors!

We leave Maria Island and sail down to Blackman Bay and pass through the Denison Canal getting our cameras ready to video the tight transit through the swinging bridge. Unfortunately we have a few issues getting the shots we wanted. We head over to the Plunkit Point Convict Coal Mine before anchorin...
We leave Wineglass Bay and sail to the Darlington convict probation site of settlement on Maria Island. With the island car free we hire a couple of bikes and spend the day riding around checking out the penitentiary, French's Farm, Convict Cells, Painted Cliffs, and meet the cute and friendly ...
We head further up the Tamar River anchoring at Little Devils Elbow, where we walk to a nearby winery passing a very creative street with custom letter boxes made from old gas bottles, picking wild blackberries along the way. Returning from our days outing, we luckily find our anchor suddenly draggi...
An encounter of a lifetime, swimming with whales in Tonga! And not just any whales, a mother humpback and her calf and a humpback couple! Seriously one of the most incredible animal encounters we have ever experienced!
Put it on your bucket list now!

Continuing our road trip around Tasmania we visit the Tahune Airwalk and walk the 50 metre high cantilever above the Huon River, plus go cable hang gliding. We visit the must see attraction @MonaMuseum (Mona, Museum of Old and New Art) in Hobart, drive up Mount Wellington in very foggy conditions, ...
While we wait for an engine part to arrive, we head off on a road trip to explore Tasmania by car. We visit Ashgrove Cheese @ashgrovecheese5801, Mersey Bluff Lighthouse, the Stanley Nut, Edge of the World, the remote town of Corinna, and the spectacular Montezuma Falls

We always wondered why Tonga was considered one of the finest sailing destinations in the South Pacific - and now we find out why and it all makes sense: an archipelago dotted with palm-fringed white sand islands, secluded bays all to yourself, rich coral reefs, whales frolicking in the distance and...
We leave Oberon Bay in the Morning Peninsula rounding the most southern point of mainland Australia before crossing Bass Strait, stopping at beautiful Deal Island. We visit the museum, walk to the lighthouse, visit the WW2 plane crash site and Little Squally Cove.

Leaving Melbourne and Port Phillip Bay we head to the very lovely picturesque anchorage at Walkerville behind Bird Rock. We explore the historic Lime Kilns which operated from 1875 to 1926 and provided lime supplies to Melbourne's building industry. Flying the drone we get a lovely view of the ...
In our latest How To sailing video, El looks at how to reef sails single-handed, a useful skill when you're alone on night watch.
One key element of reefing is: as soon as we think we should reef-in, we do. As soon as we think it's time to reef-out, we make ourselves a cup of tea, take an...
Leaving Docklands we tuck into the protected anchorage at Mornington to wait for weather to head further south. We find many restaurants and pubs, a jetty to make getting off and on our tender pleasant with no wet feet, and have a quick visit from Troy on his quick trip back to Australia. We visit M...
Leaving Bora Bora and French Polynesia behind, we sail west for the far, far away islands of Tonga. And with no crew it's just the three of us sailing shorthanded across the Pacific!
While strong squalls and rain test us and the yacht, it's when we become becalmed without a breath of wind...
