​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 from Australia to New Caledonia in the Pacific. We departed July, 2017 and have never looked back! We have explored some amazing countries, dived pristine reefs, surfed solo in the middle of no where. We spent weeks at sea, dealt with storms, big waves, strong winds and we have had the time of our life doing it! We have spent months on the hard stand doing boat work, fixed everything our selves, invested blood, sweat, tears, money, money, time and money and it is all worth it! The adventure is just beginning as we prepare to sail across the Indian Ocean in 2020!

OUR NEW SAIL PLANS!!!

Living on a boat and sailing to a schedule are two things that should not be put in the same sentence! Every day and night we are at the mercy of mother nature and her wrath. All we can do is be as prepared as we can be for any scenario that we are faced with, therefore having Nandji well equipped and ready for anything.
The world is a BIG place and we want to see all of it! Check out this short vid and learn about our NEW sailing route and when we plan to depart! All this whilst Nandji is cruising at 7 knots!! YEW!!

On Nandji, we try to help you all out as much as we can! Weather that be giving you an idea of what gear we use, Information about us, our story and sailing with a dog! or to provide you with some Inspiration to have your own adventure!! Yew!

Losing Our Anchor... TWICE! | Sailing Indonesia

This anchorage sucks, it is wide open to the Indian Ocean and the swell it brings. We combat this by setting a stern anchor... One afternoon Yosh is out surfing and he notices the tender floating on by... Losing one anchor, yea it happens. Losing our anchor twice!

Relationship's ain't easy on a Boat | Sailing Indonesia

We have lived together in a small home for 5 years now. We work together and do everything together. We love each other very much but we are not super human and like every other couple, we sometimes argue. The difference being we are in remote Indonesia with no where to go...

the ULTIMATE ANCHORAGE - the Bay of Plenty | Sailing Indonesia

This has to be our favourite anchorage we have ever visited. With world class waves, mangroves to explore, white sandy beaches, crystal clear water, Marley at full speed, Bonita in a bikini... Oh Stop it...

Not So Grotty Yachty | Sailing Indonesia

Live aboard's are often referred to as Grotty Yachties. We have wrinkled clothes, sunburnt noses and always looking for something. Yachting is sophisticated, classy, cheese platters and wine decked out karki shorts and polo shirts. Bonita gets confused which one Nandji is...

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!
