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!
2020! BRING IT ON!
This year is going to be massive for us and we are ready. We have never crossed an ocean before and 2020 is the year we plan to do it! We are only weeks away from beginning our journey and leaving Thailand on our first passage across the Indian Ocean, our destination Sri Lanka. It was disappointing to change our plans last year, but in hindsight, we are more stoked and more ready now than ever before! Nandji is becoming a weapon and we are close to beginning this journey!

Tender Love. Because Dinghies need Loving too! | Sailing ThailandIt is time for some tender loving, why? Because dinghies need loving too. Back when we were cruising Indo Yosh took a short cut and we ended up doing some minor damage to the tender. Being in Thailand we know of the perfect place to fix it and get ourselves a new cover...

Losing Steering at Sea... She will be Right? | Sailing Langkawi to ThailandOur dash to Langkawi is complete and we are back at sea with a forecasted wind up the butt to blow us back to Thailand. Needing to do some quick avoidance to dodge an oncoming trawler, we lose our steering at sea...

A Bit of a Pants Dropper! | Sailing to LangkawiOur 30 day visa in Thailand is up and we are needing to head to another country to renew visas. We head back to the dreaded land of Langkawi, once we left this island after spending 3 months in the boat yard, we though we would NEVER return! Plans change and here we are...

Scoring Seclusion in Thailand! | Sailing ThailandThailand is a stunning place but the difficult thing about living on a boat and exploring this area, is getting away from the mass tourism. Yes, we are tourists too but part of living on a sailboat is searching for seclusion. Lucky enough, we found it...

DJI Osmo Action Camera Review - A Day Out in Phuket!To Get Your Own Osmo Action click the link! http://bit.ly/DJIosmoActionCamera
Until the 31st December 2019, receive a 20% discount on the Osmo Action when purchasing through the DJI e-store! This is a total different video than the usual Sailing Nandji video blogs that you are used too! We were offered the opportunity to play around with the new Osmo Action camera from DJI and give it a review. We thought this opportunity too much fun to pass up on and went out for an adventure around the island of Phuket in Thailand. We leave Nandji and hire a Scooter and ride up to the Big Buddha on top of the hill over looking the Chalong anchorage. We then ride down to Kata beach which is a beautiful white sandy beach. The sun was shinning and it was hot! The most important item to take to any beach is a pointless blow up toy, we tick that box and go floating and swimming in the shallows. It was a great fun and we really enjoyed the opportunity to test out and play with this camera! |

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!
