Behind the scenes ✌️

Hey guys!! Hope you’re having a great week! 🥰 When John and I were in Annapolis for the boat show we caught up the boss of Jeanneau and Jeanneau America, who were so lovely. They showed us around and asked if they could interview us and feature our story on their YouTube channel called 'Jeanneau Underway'. The video attached is of Paul (from Jeanneau America) and I outside of Jeanneau’s headquarters: there’s a marina out the front and this is where we filmed the interview.

GETTING LOST on BIGGEST SAND ISLAND in the WORLD!

Here it is guys!!! Madie and I are exploring the biggest sand island on the planet.. and leaving John back on the boat by his lonesome... because we don't wan't to leave Tucana unattended.. (clearly..) after recovering from last weeks epic close call with that huge steely.

Also, in other news, we're SO excited to show you some behind the scenes from our upcoming catamaran Lagoon 450 on the Whitsundays with YouTubers Sailing Sunday and Leading the Escapade and.. we also have Slim and S...

What a wild ride!!!

Here's the ad-free version :) For those not aware, I've been learning a new editing software this week (it's an absolute killer, but it'll eventually free up a lot of my time in the long run to work on more projects!), so short term pain for long term gain. In particular, I'm hoping to get some editing support when we start sailing in Europe soon, so this program will allow me to work with an editor remotely, I'm trying to establish a relationship with a editor at the moment who seems really ...

We have a CLIFF-HANGER ending!

IT'S READY!! OUR NEW EPISODE IS HERE!!!!! Okay team, so we're departing the stunning (but SKETCHY) Lady Musgrave atoll to make our way south, towards the Great Sandy Straits! As you've probably realised though, the stormy weather is starting to become the 'norm' during cyclone season. The squalls are turning out to be pretty unpredictable, unforecasted systems that are really keeping John and I on our toes!
I hope you enjoy this chapter of the series. So much love has gone into this one ...

SPOILER ALERT... Sneaky peaky..

Here's a little sneaky peak of the intro to our latest episode.
To be COMPLETELY honest with you... I had a really fast paced intro, teasing all the fun things we get up to on this episode... but when I showed John, he felt it was time to 'get real'.. to remember all the emotions and to be HONEST with how we were feeling about 'life' and returning back to Brisbane. At the time, the thought of going back to the grind after being off-grid for 7 months, was eating us up, to the point where we...

THE STORM.... early episode x

Here is it... the storm that changed our perception of the ocean. It rattled us to our core and made us feel very vulnerable.

23 minutes of raw and real emotion during some nervous times caught in an unforecasted storm.

Goooood morning from Adelaide, Australia! 

I hope you all had a WONDERFUL Christmas spent with loved ones and plenty of food and laughter! I can't believe over the next 24 hours we're going to bring in the New Year with a bang... (or in bed) whatever suits!! Haha!

I won't be surprised if I'm the latter this year, I caught a cold from my Aunty and Uncle on Christmas Day and now I'm suffering with a sore throat :( Let's see if we can push through until 12:01 tonight! What are ...

WHAT A PROJECT! 💪

Ok, here it is! My most edited video to date…. 🤪

1300+ items on a 20+ min timeline…. I considered putting this episode out over 2 weeks (John’s suggestion)… that would mean I could split the episode to go live 1/2 this weekend and 1/2 next weekend. But, I’m not sure! I’m thinking I should just release the one mammoth episode tomorrow!?!

I’D LOVE to know what YOU GUYS THINK! Please send me a comment and let me know!

Enjoy, I put SOOO much love into this one ...

Here is the early episode this week, just in time for John's birthday tomorrow! I hope you enjoy it!! Yay!!!! I'm taking him out for breakfast and then to a little plunge pool place, where you can take a dip in an ice bath and then hot sauna! I think it'll be right up his alley. He's the big 3-4!

HAPPY WEEKEND.

Hi friends! Hope you had a fantastic week! Yay, it's the weekend! And in approximately 4 hours my alarm is going off... I'm off to the airport with my brother and Mum to Bali! We got flights (back in February when Aussie borders were still shut) and took a punt and paid $250AUD ($160USD) for return flights. What a bargain! So now.. the time has come.. and borders are open (doesn't it feel like a life time ago we were dealing with all that nonsense?!?!) Anywho... I managed to get this weeks vi...

How are you all travelling this week? I'm so happy to inform you I have just finished this weekends early episode :) YAY! This is the episode where John and I sail to Walker Reef, we dodge bommies and hang out at the gorgeous cay for 5 days or so. We had such a peaceful stay and it was really the first time we were able to catch our breaths and really just HANG OUT!!

LIZARD ISLAND 🦎

Hey dearest friends.. gosh.. this episode has got me feeling all the vibes. This was actually a very emotional sail for John and I. We really wanted to soak up every single second like it was the last. (Damn, I should have said that in the actually video!!!) But.. it's true. John and I were feeling so overwhelmed we had made it this far. This was truly our bucket list sail. And because we had made it... we felt like we had completed a successful mission to the moon. Okay. I have no idea why a...

I'm happy to be back home!! Was so nice to reunite back with John too.
Has been an UNREAL and BUSY week, with the stress of flying 'standby' in 2022 - YIKES!! Every flight is practically booked out at the moment, but I got really lucky getting home to Australia, managing to score the last seat on the plane from San Francisco to Sydney!
Next month, John and I are still hoping to get to the Annapolis boat show, but we are honestly w...

Wow, what a fun episode that was!!! 👰‍♀️

Hi guys,

We hit little milestone, 70,000 subs this week, what a wild ride :)

I've been down in Adelaide helping John's family with some caring needs while John's back in Brisbane studying for his simulator training ✈

Hence why I got down to the wire with this latest video finishing as soon as I uploaded it publicly tonight, hence it's a little shorter than usual running just over 10 minutes, but fyi, I haven't added it on Patreon so, no $ contributions necessary.

Hi Patreon fam bam!!

We have some news..................

Sad but also VERY EXCITING.... We have officially sold Tucana! A very bittersweet journey, but John and I are already trying to line up a new toy! ⛵️ Even though we have so much for of our Aussie trip to share with everyone... yikes! We're still trying to keep it all hush for now.

Anywho, what can I tell you about the sale?! Well, the couple who purchased her are from Melbourne. They're looking to keep Tucana up in...

Hey Tucana-fam-bam,
New things are on the horizon .. including this weeks vlog. *round of applause* I know.. all that jet-lag was good for something!

No, in all honesty, I'm going to get back into weekly vlogs now that we're back in Australia and set-up properly again (and when I say set-up: I mean, not living out of a suitcase or working on the bow of a boat)... 🤣 

You'll notice on this weeks vlog, I recorded my first ever sponsored ad. Now, I don't intend on making ...

Well.. Greece has been fabulous, but poor John has been dealing with some cramps for the past week or so! And if you follow us over on our private Patreon group chat on Discord, you'd know we're supposed to go sailing for 10 days from Athens this Sunday! YAY!!
