Farewell, For Now!
16th August 2026 | Australia Well, we are back in Australia and living in our house in Jindalee, Brisbane. We are settling back into life here and really loving seeing our friends and family here in Australia; although I think now we will always be missing our friends in the USA also. We both look…

Florida Farewells
28th May 2026 | Odometer: 2405nm | USA We were completely exhausted after arriving into Florida at West Palm Beach, so we spent a week just doing absolutely nothing and vegging out on the boat. We went for walks to the beach, and the grocery store; and avoided getting caught in the evening thunderstorm each…

Gulf Stream Gauntlet
12th May 2026 | Odometer: 2365nm | Bahamas Our time in Nassau was not very exciting. We were relatively far from fun areas of the city or tourist zones; and we were very focused on getting our engine sorted and getting underway again. We were lucky enough to get a mechanic through the tow boat…

Epic Exuma Exploring
19th April 2026 | Odometer: 2023nm | Bahamas Waking early to traverse the two cuts in the passage ahead, we headed north to Prime Cay. This bay was renowned for people grounding their boats when trying to come in on the wrong tide. We first had to navigate through the shallows in the back of…

Great Exuma and the Great Exumas!
17th April 2026 | Odometer: 2007nm | Bahamas After waiting out the wind for a week in Thompson Bay, it was finally time to head north up the island chain to Great Exuma! Rusty enjoyed first-class passenger treatment while Ryan and I pulled up the anchor and got us underway. With a beautiful calm start…

Killing Time in Thompson Bay
15th April 2026 | Odometer: 1939nm | Bahamas Dad had arrived right at the start of some extremely high winds. Thankfully, we were tucked in close and nice and protected in Thompson Bay, with strong easterly winds blowing over us. Even though the anchorage was well protected, there were white caps all around us, and…
