Good morning guys!
Lots happening this week…
John has just 4-5 weeks of his ‘leave’ left before he’s back to work!! 😩✈️😳 Dreading the day to be honest, SO we’re going to make the most out of the next month filming some awesome content for you all along the way! So where are we taking you?!??

GREECE!! Woohoo!

Happy Easter everybody!
We hope you have an incredible weekend filled with chocolate & fun times 🐰🐇🍫
As some of you may know, John and I caught Covid last week and spent the week in isolation at his grandparents place!!! What a nightmare that was. Has anyone here caught it yet? Unfortunately, Johns grandparents caught it from us… but THANK GOODNESS at 96 and 87 years old, they pulled through! We managed to get some anti-viral medication for them which usually costs ...

Hi everyone,
As most of you know from our Discord chat, it’s been a busy week editing in the car on our roadtrip (John and I are visiting his elderly Grandparents this weekend 👵🏻👴🏻). Lucky I don’t car sick 🤣 Must be all those hours spent sailing onboard Tucana.
As usual, I put a lot of love into this one, with more than 1000+ items and edits 😊 My eyes are square at the moment haha! But honesty, thank you for your support always.
Enjoy the start of...

NEW EPISODE! Thanks for your patience on this one, I’ve spent a lot on it, with 700+ items on the timeline… 😵 John is interstate, so I had to FaceTime him the episode tonight before making it live 🤣🤣 Grateful for technology.
I really hope you have a few laughs while watching this episode. We had no reception for a couple days and my brother decided to play a practical joke on my family saying John & I are missing 🤦♀️!! My first solo tender ride goes horribly w...

Hey guys!
Just finished editing this weekends latest episode. Hope you enjoy this early release, a very special one close to my heart as I stumbled upon this story when we met Lindsay on Middle Percy Island. I’m still tweaking the title and the thumbnail, so let me know if you have any ideas 🙂
Let me know what you think on here or on our Discord chat, and as always, thanks for your ongoing support x
2022-03-04 13:52:17 +0000 UTC View PostWe have some big news guys!
Good and somewhat sad. 😬
Yes, we’re selling Tucana… while the market is hot here in Australia! But, we have a plan!! We’re going to look for another boat overseas and do some sailing (also overseas) in the meantime ❤️ We are so grateful for your support and the growth of the channel that we’d really love this give this sailing life a go and we have dreams of a circumnavigation, but we just need a few months to get some finances in order, an...
2022-02-15 08:10:53 +0000 UTC View PostHey friends!
I've added 'Discord' to your Tiers! For those who are interested, I think it'll be a great platform for John and I to share videos, photos, Q&A's and live updates as they happen, as Patreon limits the amount of short videos etc we can post.
Here's the link to the server if you want to join: https://discord.gg/4XTxcY8BCG

Hey everyone!
John's mum sent me this old photo of us as teenagers and I wanted to share it with you!!! John was about 19 here.. and I was about 17!! It got me thinking.. should we do a vlog about how we met and how long we've been together? And our journey up until this point? It's our 16th Anniversary together on Feb 25th.. thoughts?
Also, more importantly, just want to say thanks to Dan ( a fellow Patreon ) who wanted to contribute higher than the tiers that I offered. He recommen...

Yes. It's true. I hope you guys are impressed as I am. haha!
As you can see from the title above... our new series 'SH!P ADVICE' is a play on words... 🙊It's not our usual style, but we though we might just throw a few of these boat tips/tricks videos in the mix from time-to-time as we're getting a lot of private messages from boaties who are new on the scene.
Anywho, I made the link private for Patreons only, so feel free to have a look and let me know what you think! I'll post...

Hey guys,
As you know, its been a crazy couple of weeks in Melbourne! But, I'm back on Tucana now and finally beginning to feel like a human again (although my body clock is still absolutely stuffed!). I've unpacked my bag, settled in and am LOVING being back on the water.
Just wanted to say -- NEW VIDEO ALERT! Haha. Here's the link! Enjoy.
Also, I'm really excited about getting back into a routine and I'm looking forward to editing my videos weekly again! 😃😃 Let m...
Hi guys!
Something crazy happened a couple days ago — Patrick Dangerfield (overseas friends: he’s a famous Aussie AFL sports star who’s kind of a big deal 😳) got in touch with us. He wanted to line up an interview for his weekend radio show!! Turns out, he watches our vlogs too, with his wife, and wanted to share our journey with his listeners and followers! He was so genuine, kind and off-air said we have to lift our fishing/trolling game.. he wasn’t impressed with our Tuna ...

Guy! I’ve left Tucana & John for two weeks to work down in Melbourne at the Australian Open, the first Grand Slam for 2022!! This is the first time in 9 months I‘ve been away from John for more than 5 hours!!!!!!!! 🤣 Can you believe it?!
On a side note, the pay is going to help fund new upgrades on Tucana which will be FABULOUS - a new dodger and bimini perhaps?! We are constantly getting burnt and looking like 🍅‘s! We also have a few leaks on board we need to fix 🥵 a...

ENJOY GUYS! It'll be ad-free until Sunday for you.
Also, if you want to get the ball rolling in the comments section of the YT video, would love to read your thoughts!
Happy Thursday friends!
Hope you’re having a great week 😄
It’s a little crazy here in Oz at the moment, with more than 100,000 covid cases recorded today. 🤪 Would love to know where you’re from and how the situation is where you are?!
John and I are fine, healthy and doing well — living on Tucana and enjoying boat life. 🙂
Just thought I’d share an article that was in the Club Marine magazine this month. The editor heard about our story and asked ...

Hi ⛵️ friends,
Here are some behind the scene photos from our recent trip to Middle Percy Island ❤️🌴
Also, would you be interested in doing a live stream with me at some point? John and I would love to answer any questions you may have for us, so feel free to write them below👇
Hope you’re having a great start to 2022! ⭐

Happy New Year to our Tucana family!!
Firstly, thank you so much for your ongoing support. We hope you had an incredible Christmas and New Years break with your loved ones. Somehow, amongst the covid chaos down here in Australia I have managed to edit this special 'Middle Percy' episode during the festive period and I'll post it publicly tomorrow. But if you get the chance, I would love for you to check it out before hand -- it's currently unlisted and available for you to see by using th...
Hi Tucana-family!
As promised here's a link to our latest vlog :) I just finished editing it tonight and can't wait for you guys to see it before everyone else on Sunday. Enjoy! And let us know if you have any feedback x

John just arrived to Tucana with this new air-conditioner. It was quite the mission: BUT HE DID IT ON THE CHEAP 😆😆
1. He caught a free bus to the store.
2. Got a 5% off discount on the aircon unit (every cent counts, right?)
3. Caught a ride-share service back to the marina for .95 cents because he had a $10 coupon!!!
THIS is the result ⬇️ WINNING!

Huge announcement here guys — John and I are going to be living on board Tucana and parking up here in Brisbane during the summer ‘cyclone season’ in Queensland, Australia. Check out the video above of the lightening storm that passed over us last night - so very intense! 😬
Over the next few months I’m going to be busy still documenting and editing our sailing stories (I’m about 5 ...

Hey Tucana family!
I just finished doing a podcast with Andrew from the Ocean Cruisers Network Podcast. He’s going to send me some clips tomorrow; so I’ll upload them on here for you entirely as soon as I get the files.
Andrew told me the episode will likely go live in January, so it’ll be a nice little treat to have the interview early! 🧡 How you’re all having a great day
Hi Tucana-fam-bam! We hope you loved this weeks episode. So, I have a question: Have any of you watched the sunrise this week?! 😉
I thought I’d share with you some behind the scenes photos we took while bush walking around Great Keppel Island, which is part of the Great Barrier Reef National Park.
I’ve just started editing our next episode, in which we’ll take you on a step by step, start to finish sail from Great Keppel Island to Middle Percy Island. Holy smokes, ...
Hi patreon-fam!
Here is our latest episode that will go live on Sunday!
We hope you enjoy the early and ad free episode! 😃
Hey legends,
Thank you so much for your support Markus, Dustin and Tim! 😊 Feeling so grateful for your pledge and friendship.
If there is anything specifically you'd like to know about us or Tucana, please just send us a message and we'd love to answer your questions or show you around our (floating) home.
I'll be uploading behind the scenes photos and videos along the way, so stay tuned. I have also made this Google Earth map, showing you all the locations we've stopped ...
An absolute 'glass off' at Lady Musgrave Island before John lost his thong! Haha
