Week two with Ylva and Tina aboard. The weather sort of cooperates so after enjoying the worlds whitest beach for a few hours we sail out to the Barrier Reef for a few days. It a pretty rough trip but calm when we arrive.
I get some nice company in the form of Ylva and Tina. We have a week of mixed weather but make the most of it each day. With company on board I'm able to spend a bit more time creating nicer video shots and we have a change of style with some added narration. Let us know in the comments how you...

Video could have been half the length but I wanted my friend to have all the memories (because he's going to sit on it for two years and...
Hi everybody,

Sailing a homemade Hartley South Seas - uniquely different from waterline up. Now our boat ain’t worth a lot of money, but she’s been ‘round the world. Bless her. And we sailed her across the North Pacific with snow falling on her decks; buried her masts underwater on that trip. Poor baby. She...
