​We are a young couple with a dog, who with no sailing experience, bought a yacht, got it blue water cruising ready and set off sailing around the Pacific. We just arrived to Indonesia after cruising the Pacific islands. We departed Australia over 12 months ago and have since explored some amazing countries, dived pristine reefs, surfed solo in the middle of no where. Spent weeks at sea, dealt with storms, big waves, strong winds and we have had the time of our life doing it! The adventure is just beginning as we sail West with the trades!

Help Nandji Get a NEW Motor!!

30%
We have never had the most reliable engine on Nandji and in hindsight it has taught us a lot about Diesel engines and how to fix them. However with BIG plans for the future, we want to replace our old unreliable Donk and install something new and reliable that will last us for the next 10 years! After saving for the last 6 months we have come up short and are now hoping to explode the thermometre on the left in 6 weeks time! Please help out by clicking the Paypal link below!

WINDLASS UPDATE: 
The new Windlass is on Nandji!!! Bonita managed to carry the thing back on her travels returning to Nandji. After a few dabacles with luggage weights as she was 33 kg over, the lovely people at QANTAS waved her though for free and then a cheeky 100 US to customs for tax, and here it is on Nandji!! Can not wait to install this new badboy!!
YEW! It is official, we have the best following that anyone could ever ask for! In only 2 short weeks we have raised the amount needed for Nandji to get a new windlass! Thank you to all who contributed to this new investment for Nandji, especially Mike for instigating this idea, Steven who matched dollar for dollar and other significant contributors like Zach and the legendary Robert who is always willing to assist Nandji in our times of need. THANK YOU LEGENDS!!

Where it all Started...

We packed up our things and drove across Australia to move aboard our new vessel. How things have changed for the better!!

Our First Off Shore Ocean Passage... 

With a year of sailing under our belts, we take on our biggest challenge, sailing across the Coral Sea! What could wrong... Just about everything!!!!
​This is our first episode of Sailing Nandji. Nandji is our Roberts 40 yacht we bought two months ago in Airlie Beach. We are from South Australia and are learning how to sail. We love to try new things and  adventure.  This episode is about our journey leaving Adelaide, travelling across the country and moving onto our new vessel. We had a few surprises when we arrived but managed to take her out for our first sail. 
​
In this episode of Sailing Nandji, We take on our greatest challenge yet and attempt to cross the Coral sea. This is our first offshore blue water sail and the longest sail we would have attempted yet. The 800nm sail we expected to take roughly 8 days at sea. The journey was full of challenges from dealing with 50 KNOTS! broken halyards and broken starter motors. We had rough weather and we had calm winds. The adventure was filled with all things good and bad. An adventure really begins when things dont go to plan. We accept every challenge and work together to get the job done and safely arrive to Noumea in New Caledonia. What a trip!

 'How to not buy a yacht'  by Captain Yosh

The story of my experiences when we first bought Nandji. Learn from our mistakes!
When we first looked into buying a yacht, we had no idea what we were looking for. We happily flicked through thousands of images of yachts on the internet thinking we knew a thing or two... I quickly realised I needed to do a lot more research. This ebook is about my experiences of purchasing a vessel, what I looked for and how we ended up with the boat we got!
