Our Recent trip home to Australia...
Living OFF GRID ? BOAT LIFE to TENT LIFE ???? A Great Aussie Road trip...Exploring the beautiful Fleurieu Peninsula in South Australia in a Rooftop tent. During our time in Australia we have been exploring many different ways of alternative living. So far we have slept in a shed, a caravan, drove around in a converted van and now we have switched it all up for a four wheel drive and a rooftop tent!

TICK THAT OFF THE BUCKET LIST!! Swimming with SEA LIONS!we head to some offshore islands near my home town on the Eyre Peninsula to tick off one of those bucket list items, swimming with Sea Lions! These playful creatures are an endangered species with only around 7000 left in the wild. To swim with these beautiful animals in our own back yard was an amazing experience.

THIS IS WHERE I GREW UP! | Catch & Cook | Marley is Back!After collecting our little fur baby in Adelaide, we then drive back to the Eyre Peninsula of South Australia. This is the coast where Yosh grew up until he moved to the city of Adelaide for work. Whilst home, we take out the family tinny and go fishing! 2 adults, 1 baby and a dog hunting for King George whiting. With a feed caught, we clean and cook up a feast for the family!

VAN LIFE... What are we doing in a Van???What better way to explore Australia than in our very own camper van! Before we lived on our sailboat Nandji, we lived in a bus called FROTH and travelled around Australia, living the van life ways. Now after 5 years of sailing, it was a great experience to come back to our homeland and give the van life way of life another go!

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, broken starter motors and NO AUTOPILOT. 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 after hand steering for 8 days straight. 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!
