​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 have since sailed through Indonesia to the island of Langkawi, Malaysia for some much needed boat work. We departed Australia over 18 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!

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!
