Hill Inlet is the jewel in our crown - the iconic image of our 74-island paradise known collectively as The Whitsundays.
Whether you come here by boat (don't forget the essential cruising guide or take a tour with one of the many t...
Being able to take Brilliant II sailing again - despite still being in the middle of a refit - has been a game-changer for our sanity 🤪😅
It's allowed us to fire up all the systems again (nav equipment / water-maker, etc, etc) after an almost 10 month break, and test out the new modifications w...
As we arrived in Hill Inlet, Whitsundays we are met with a pumping current and lots of sand bars. Despite our best efforts we find ourselves sitting very uncomfortably and rename this place Hell Inlet!

Sit back and relax as we take you on a delightful bush walk up to the Hill Inlet lookout. Hill Inlet is at the northern end of Whitsunday Island and the view of Whitehaven Beach and the Inlet is absolutely breathtaking. So, it’s no surprise that Whitehaven Beach is often described as one of the best...
We leave the unimpressive Shaw Island and have a wonderful sail to Chalkies Beach which is opposite the world famous Whitehaven Beach in the Whitsundays.
The planning for this trip is very intense as Magnus does the maths and checks it twice to ensure that we make it through the Solway Passage safe...
While we wait out the bad weather, we take the opportunity to look around Cid Harbour. We take Peanut out along the banks to explore the beautiful scenery. We find so many waterfalls which are abundant due to the days and days of relentless rain.
We can’t stay here forever, so once a small weather ...
After spending quite a few very rainy days sitting out the weather in Gulnare Inlet we decide to just go for it and take Peanut up the creek in search of a potential cyclone bolt hole. It’s absolutely beautiful with mangroves, Norfolk pines and giant fruit balls!
The rain just doesn’t cease.
We ha...
We leave Stonehaven Bay with a much cleaner bottom and sail across to Happy Bay.
We don’t get to stay there long because there’s a storm brewing and we need to find a more protected anchorage.
We can’t go forward because the forecasted winds are going to change direction and we will end up on a le...
With road trips, brewery visits and beer tasting over for a while, we get back to all things boaty.
We fix the mizzen sail and make a new cover for the hatch, all thanks to Greg for the donation of the sail.
We have a good friend on board, Simone. We head out to the Whitsunday Islands for a good e...
Magnus heads out the back of our block to clear the track and ends up stuck in a ditch which wasn’t there the last time we were back at the farm pre Cyclone Debbie!
He continues the work on Nutshell’s Volvo engine’s exhaust outlet.
More components for the Raspberry Pi finally arrive. We are now ve...
After three years of talking about the lifestyle of Catamaran Cruising it was time for Janet and I to find out if we really like it, the verdict, you tell us. A two week charter holiday Sailing in the Whitsunday Uslands concreted our thinking and we are inspired to dig deep and finish our Catamaran ...
Magnus is busy with jobs for Peanut and Nutshell. Peanut’s pimping continues with a new propeller guard and Magnus works on Nutshell’s new engine.
It’s time for some chill time out on the water and Magnus takes the day off to go mud crabbing and fishing in the crocodile infested Proserpine River wh...
We are having issues with the water pump so Magnus pulls it apart to see what the problem is and hopefully to fix it.
It’s very windy in the Whitsundays with extreme gale force winds reaching up to 46 knots and we’re out in it!
But, it’s just great to be sailing.
Thanks for watching.
Until next ...
We drive down to Mackay to pick up our new outboard for peanut and Magnus, then head out for a test drive in the bay and through the Coral Sea Marina.
Then its off for a sail to the reef, weather dependent. It’s a windy time and on the way we decide to head for Butterfly Bay on Hook Island to check...
And, once again, we have problems with the engine, well the gearbox actually. After Magnus had spent hours rebuilding it, it suddenly fills with water!
Magnus attempts a MagGyver fix, but is it enough to get us back to Airlie Beach or will we be stranded out at the islands with no way of getting ho...
Magnus wrangles a dangerous snake and saves the girls from harm at the farm.
We head off to Happy Bay on Long Island in the Whitsundays, with our youngest daughter, Emily who is staying with us during the pandemic. The once popular Long island Resort is now deserted. We think it is due to a previou...
Magnus makes a start on converting our existing staysail into a furling one. He begins by removing the old bolt rope, which is too small, and then sewing in a new one, making various repairs to he sail along the way.
We head out to Happy Bay but are thwarted by the tides and end up in completely th...
It’s time to focus on sticking Nutshell back together again.
Magnus glues the opening for one of the cupboard doors in the head.
He attaches new catches to many of the doors which were damaged in the explosion.
He searches searches through the bits and pieces to put the Nutshell puzzle back toget...
With everything that is going on at the moment, it is lovely to be able to head out to the Whitsunday islands for a few days of fishing and exploring.
Peanut IV just gets spiffier and spiffier and with the new Kapten Collar transom now fitted, and Wendy’s gourmet cushions, she is now a delight to b...
