Been a while since we’ve posted here but we’re still floating, making miles and living simply upon the water. On October 29th we sailed into Bundaberg on Australia’s east coast and cleared into the country. This was the end of our pacific crossing, which had started in Costa Rica a year earlier. Cruising Australia’s east coast these past weeks has reminded us to what makes sailing here so special. It’s the wonderful anchorages, which there are plenty of and the short costal distances that make doing day passages up and down the east coast easy and fun. If you have a boat that sails well travelling this coast doesn’t get any better! The protection from the reef. The wonderful people, spectacular and abundant nature, great weather and plentiful safe anchorages make cruising here some of the best you’ll find anywhere on the planet. Over the past eight days Spirit sailed another 800nm and for some reason we feel that this is just the beginning of her ⛵️ adventures as she continues to sail around the world 🌎 Since departing Costa Rica Spirit has sailed over 10,000nm which have taken 1297hrs or 54days to complete at an average speed of 7.7kts. Now that is what I call Proof of Boat! ⛵️

Been a month since our last update and some miles have definitely passed under the keel. We sailed and cleared into Fiji at the small northern port of Savu Savu. Savu Savu is one of our favourite places as it’s a small town that’s off the beaten track. There’s not a lot of tourism and it remains untainted by western culture and civilisation. The locals are incredibly happy with everyone passing you in the street with a huge smile and the words Bula Bula. We spent two weeks in Savu Savu soaking up the positive energy while resting, doing laundry and gathering fresh provisions from the markets before we made our way further afield. After departing Savu Savu we sailed west 120nm to the Yasawas stopping off on Yadua Island on the way. A few weeks sailing down the Yasawas until we reached Malolo Island where we’re presently waiting out a weather window that we hope will allow us to sail 1,400nm west to Australia.

We’ve just crossed the 180th degree in longitude the exact opposite side of the world to Greenwich in the UK. Funny how the charting app we use to do our routing sees this as the end of the world! My wife’s take on it below. View quoted note →

Buying the dip and swimming with whales. How’s your day?

These are two talks that all freedom loving Bitcoiners should watch.

In 1999 I left my home country and have pretty much spent the majority of that time travelling, sailing and working all around the world. The one lesson that keeps coming back is that those that have the least in this world have the most to give. I see and experience it constantly in the poorest of countries. From a man in a dugout canoe in Indonesia giving us fresh coconuts and asking for nothing to locals in Tonga offering the fresh food that they grow these people have many lessons we in the west could learn. The joy of life doesn’t come from what you have it comes from what you give. A pic below of @Clo at the local markets here in Vava’u where you can find some of the world’s best organic and locally grown fruits and veggies.

@Marty Bent just listened to your latest with Matthew Mazinski and in the show notes you linked his Twitter account with no mention of his #Nostr account?? Aren’t you for freedom tech??

Don’t ask “what can #nostr do for you” ask “what can I do for #nostr” View quoted note →
