​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 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 had the time of our life doing it! The adventure is just beginning as we sail West with the trades!

Our Latest Episode...  Number 91...
Helping Hands in a Remote Lagoon
In this Episode of Sailing Nandji, imagine living in a lagoon in the middle of the ocean. No wifi, no cars, no shops, no hospital and the one land line phone to the outside world is 15nm away on a neighbouring island. Welcome to the Ninigo islands of PApua New Guinea. This is where we anchored Nandji for a week and spent our time with the local community. A young boy had been bitten by a Morey Eel and with no doctor or nurses and very limited medical supplies on the island, we are the closest thing to first aid. We try our best at cleaning the boys wound and trying to put the brave young lads hand back together. 
We visit the local garden where the family grow all their food and head out spearfishing with one of the lads from the island. We are inundated with gifts of fruit and vegetables and have lunches cooked and brought out to the boat. We have supplies and balls for the kids at the school and take a visit to the community school. Escaping at the end of the week for one quite evening on a remote beach, Marley has some fun and then it is off to sea we go!

WE REACHED OUR TARGET!!!!!
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!!
UPDATE ON THE WINDLASS - Logisitc's are proving to be harder then expected!
We are currently trying to locate a new anchor chain for Nandji, this has put a hault on delivery of the windlass as we need to match the wheel to the chain. Hopefully we can sort this issue out ASAP and install the new WIndlass on the front of Nandji, until then, I am still hand pulling the anchor...

Track Nandji as we Sail...

We completed our first offshore passage in July 2017, sailing across from Australia to New Caledonia. It took us 9 days at sea to arrive safe and sound. Nandji took a bit of a battering and things didn't always go as plan, but that it is all part of the journey. We dealt with any problems that arose together and worked well as a team to complete our first offshore voyage. The adventure really begins when things go wrong... We have since sailed through Vanuatu and the Solomon Islands, follow along the journey and find out where we are!

We can not say THANK YOU enough to the legends at JetPets for helping to return Marley back to Nandji. It was a challenging process and felt impossible at times but they dominated and got the little guy back to us safe and sound.
We have a SHOP!!

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!
