We’ve just past the Eco villas which don’t look too enticing. Perhaps it’s just the weather 🥹 We’ve had some showers and quite strong winds but we are heading to sheltered South WhiteRead more

Kingfisher Bay

This is the main resort on Fraser Island and it has good Anchorage space. We will come back here tomorrow night. Apparently there are fantastic pizzas here but we don’t have a tender yet so can’tRead more
TravelerWe have bought a 35 ft Hanse mono hull, Ali. It’s very new for me and I’m still getting my sea legs and confidence but Steve knows what he’s doing. Thank God!😀🥰
TravelerLooks great Gabi and congrats. We’ve just sold our 22 ft trailer sailor after 12 yrs for a caravan and had lots of great adventures over the years. Bit of a change for now, but will probably go back sailing in the future. (Something bigger). Loving your adventure and totally understand you’re still getting your sea legs. I think I still am!!!!

Today we had a beautiful day sailing in pretty much perfect conditions. The straits were a millpond last night so we slept like little babies. We had a spectacular show from about a hundred garfishRead more

Great photo, Steve. You look a little bit happy.
TravelerThis was the second take, after Gabi told me to smile 😅. I was a little focussed on the weather that was coming in 😊
