I’ve lived on a boat since I was twelve years of age. That’s nearly forty years of calling the ocean home! During that time I’ve logged over 500k nm and sailed most of the worlds oceans. Crossed the Atlantic ten times, sailed from the Mediterranean to the North Sea twice, NE USA to the Caribbean over sixteen times and crossed the Pacific four times and my love for the sea and this lifestyle continues to grow with every nautical mile sailed. This lifestyle is so rewarding for those that enjoy freedom and liberty. Try it!!! 😁🤙 #sailstr

The joy this lifestyle of living on the water brings is never ending 🙏 or is it just living so close with nature that brings so much joy? Who knows we’ll just continue to go with the flow…… 😁 View quoted note →

Had a whopper of a storm roll through last night. This is living on the water and living at the mercy of Mother Nature. Out here you define how safe you are as every decision you make has consequences.

Time to batten down the hatches! View quoted note →

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.
