One of the big highlights is exploring the famous Ship Rock Shelter on Stanley Island, home to some of the most remarkable Aboriginal rock art in the region. We’re excited to see this extraordinary piece of history up close, along with discovering other hidden caves tucked away among the rugged rocks and coastline. As we continue exploring, we stumble across an amazing little island featuring just two enormous rocks — a spectacular reminder of what Mother Nature can create over thousands of years. The shapes, textures and sheer scale of these natural formations are incredible to witness firsthand. Meanwhile, Gary has his own priorities sorted! He manages to find himself some oysters and settles in for a feed on the beach while I head off to explore more of Flinders Island. 😂🦪 With remote island exploration, ancient rock art, hidden caves and some truly spectacular scenery, this is another adventure that reminds us just how special and untouched parts of Australia can be.

We manage to land several fish and have an absolute ball out there, enjoying one of those perfect days on the water. But then the wind starts to change. Suddenly, we’re struggling to hold onto the Code 0, and it quickly becomes a bit of a race to get it back in before we lose it completely!

Welcome back aboard Moor R & R for this week's Adventure! Episode 49 We’re leaving Cooktown and setting our sights on beautiful Lizard Island, but the weather has other plans for us. As we poke our nose out of Cooktown, the wind quickly starts building — 30 knots and climbing — and with the seas getting bigger, we have a decision to make. Our gut tells us it’s not worth pushing on, so we turn around and head back to Cooktown to wait for better weather. But the forecast isn’t looking great, and it could be some time before the winds settle enough for us to try again. Eventually, the weather starts to ease, and we decide to make another attempt at heading north towards Lizard Island. And this time… everything starts to come together. The wind is perfect, the seas settle down, and the boat is sailing beautifully. But, of course, it wouldn’t be one of our adventures without a little drama! 😅 When one of our reefing lines gets caught around the boom, we have another problem to deal with. But it doesn’t stop us, and we continue on towards Lizard Island. What follows turns into one of the best sails we’ve had yet! So come along with us as we leave Cooktown behind, battle the weather, and finally make our way north towards the incredible Lizard Island.

Welcome back aboard Moor R & R for this week's Adventure! Episode 48 We arrived at the beautiful Hope Isles, And what a beautiful little island this is! While we’re here, we decide to try something completely new — throwing the cast net for the very first time. Let’s just say… it turns into a bit of a laugh and a half! Whether we catch anything is another story! But with more strong winds predicted, it’s time to move on. So we drop the buoy and set a course for Cooktown, where we spend some time exploring this historic little town and discovering the incredible stories and history that surround it.

Welcome back aboard Moor R & R for this week's Adventure! Episode 47 We’re still exploring the incredible Mackay Reef, and we decide it’s time to get in the water and see what we can find beneath the surface. Gary gets the spear out… and finally lands his first fish! So, of course, there’s only one thing to do — fire up the BBQ and cook up our catch. But our time at Mackay Reef is coming to an end, and it’s time to drop the buoy and move on to our next reef Pickersgill reef. And wow… this one might just be my favourite reef so far! It’s absolutely stunning, with a beautiful little sand cay and even a navigation marker standing right on the cay. After having some fun exploring the reef and snorkelling in those incredible clear waters, the weather starts to change again. With strong winds on the way, we need to find somewhere a little more protected. So we pull up the anchor and make our way towards the Hope Islands. Another beautiful part of our journey north — and another adventure waiting to unfold. With beautiful islands, new adventures and a few surprises along the way, there’s plenty to discover.

Welcome back aboard Moor R & R for this week's Adventure! Episode 46 Our journey north takes an unexpected turn… We’re forced to turn around and head back to Port Douglas when an emergency with our hydraulic motor threatens to put a serious stop to our plans. But once we’re back in Port Douglas, we decide to make the most of it — and put the crab pots out to see if we can catch ourselves a feed! From there, we finally get back on track and head for the stunning Low Isles. But the wind has other plans for us… With strong winds building, we spend the next few days trying to find shelter around Undine and Mackay Reefs. And Mackay Reef? Well… it turns out to be pretty amazing! So, this week we've got boat trouble, crab pots, beautiful islands, strong winds and some incredible reef adventures.

Welcome back aboard Moor R & R for this week's Adventure! Episode 44 Finally… the time has come. After spending far too long in Cairns, we’re finally lift the anchor and leaving the city behind for the last time. From here, it’s north — and we’re not looking back. But, as we’ve come to learn, cruising rarely goes exactly to plan. Not long after leaving, we find ourselves dealing with a rope tangled around the Code 0, and things get a whole lot more interesting when we have a close encounter with a tanker ship. But it’s not all drama. Along the way, we meet some of the locals, explore some pretty special places, and visit Queensland’s very first lighthouse. Then we make our way to Snapper Island, where we set out to find the mysterious Smugglers Cave. And if that’s not enough, we launch the tenders and head deep into the Daintree River, surrounded by one of the most spectacular landscapes on the Queensland coast. So, with Cairns finally behind us and the adventure continuing north… Come along for the highs and lows of life at sea – the joy of community, the challenge of sailing, and all the fun we get up too !!!

Welcome back aboard Moor R & R for this week's Adventure! Episode 43 We’ve watched the wind, waited for the seas to settle, and dreamed about finally getting Moor R & R back out onto the Reef. And today… we finally get our chance. It was worth the wait. With the weather finally on our side, we leave Cairns behind and make our way out to Vlasoff Cay… A stunning sand cay rising from crystal-clear water, surrounded by beautiful coral and reef stretching out as far as the eye can see. But the real highlight of our reef adventure was something I never expected… I jumped into that crystal-clear water and found myself swimming alongside a group of batfish. It was one of those moments you simply can't plan for — and one we'll never forget. So come aboard Moor R & R for this week’s adventure, and experience the magic of the reef with us.

Welcome back aboard Moor R & R for this week's Adventure! Episode 42 The journey north continues! 🌴⛵ After spending some time in Cairns, it’s finally time to leave the marina behind. We’ve restocked Moor R & R, loaded up the supplies and are getting ready for the next big chapter of our adventure — heading north towards the Top of Australia! But before we continue our journey, we take a little detour into the Cairns waterways to do something we always enjoy… mud crabbing! 🦀 With the boat stocked and the weather looking good, we head out towards the reef. But things don’t quite go to plan. The wind starts building, reaching 20-plus knots, and the conditions quickly become too rough for what we had planned. Sometimes life on the water means knowing when to turn around. So we head back into the shelter of the river and put our reef adventure on hold for a couple of days, waiting for the weather to settle.

Welcome back aboard Moor R & R for this week's Adventure! Episode 41 This week on Moor R & R, our plans changed quickly as we left Cape Richards after a rolley night at anchor in search of calmer waters. Our next stop was the breathtaking Dunk Island, and it certainly didn't disappoint. With crystal-clear water, lush rainforest, and beautiful beaches, it's easy to see why this tropical paradise is a favourite. We hiked to the stunning Muggy Muggy Beach, soaking up the incredible scenery along the way. From there, we ventured across to Mould Island, a protected bird sanctuary that's only open to visitors during certain times of the year. It's a peaceful and unique little island that few people get the chance to experience. With forecasts predicting strong winds of 25 knots or more over the coming days, it was time to make a dash north to Cairns before the weather arrived. Breaking up the journey, we spent a night at the spectacular Fitzroy Island, and after seeing just how beautiful it is, we already know we'll be back to explore more. We arrived safely in Cairns, ready to sit out the weather before continuing our journey further north. See you next week as we leave Cairns and keep heading north!

Welcome back aboard Moor R & R for this week's Adventure! Episode 39 Places where nature still sets the pace... where ancient landscapes have remained unchanged for thousands of years... and where every adventure begins with a single step into the unknown. A rugged island sculpted from ancient granite. Towering mountains draped in lush rainforest. Hidden waterfalls cascading into crystal-clear pools. Endless, untouched beaches where the only footprints may be your own. Our first stop is the breathtaking Zoe Bay, and all we can say is... wow. Surrounded by towering mountains and pristine rainforest, it's one of the most beautiful anchorages we've ever experienced. From there, we set off on the hike to the famous Zoe Falls. The climb is worth every step as we reach the top, where panoramic views stretch across the island and out over the Coral Sea. Then it's time to cool off in the stunning natural rock pools—a place that feels like something straight out of a postcard. But the adventure doesn't stop there. We continue around the southern end of Hinchinbrook, passing the famous Lucinda Jetty. At an incredible 5.76 kilometres long, it's the longest service jetty in the Southern Hemisphere and an impressive sight from the water. Our final stop for the week is Haycock Island, where we drop the anchor for the night. With calm waters and the crab pots set, it's the perfect way to end another unforgettable adventure—and let's just say, the crabbing certainly doesn't disappoint. Remote. Rugged. Untamed.

Welcome back aboard Moor R & R for this week's Adventure! Episode 38 Join us for another unforgettable adventure aboard Moor R & R as we continue exploring the stunning beauty of Magnetic Island before setting sail for the incredible Orpheus Island. Our week begins with the famous Forts Walk, one of Magnetic Island's most popular hikes. Along the way, we explore the fascinating WWII fortifications and are lucky enough to spot three wild koalas in their natural habitat. We also discover the unique Wetlands Walk and Butterfly Walk, each offering a different side of this beautiful island. After spending a week soaking up everything Magnetic Island has to offer, it's time to lift the anchor and continue our journey north to Orpheus Island. The passage couldn't have gone much better, with both of us hooking fish at exactly the same time! As if that wasn't exciting enough, we were treated to an incredible wildlife display as whales frolicked alongside the boat, followed by sightings of majestic manta rays. Once we arrive at Orpheus Island, the adventures continue. We take the tender to visit the former Giant Clam Garden, an eco-tourism and conservation project established in the 1980s. Sadly, the giant clams were lost following the devastating floods and monsoonal rains in early 2025, but it's still a fascinating place to visit and learn about its history. To top it all off, Gary retrieves my very first fresh coconut for me to try, and we finish the week with one of the most unforgettable experiences yet—swimming with manta rays in crystal-clear water. It truly was a magical few days and one we'll never forget. Come along for the highs and lows of life at sea – the joy of community, the challenge of sailing, and all the fun we get up too !!!

Welcome back aboard Moor R & R for this week's Adventure! Episode 36 After our stay in Bowen, with our electrical issues and generator finally repaired, we set sail for Cape Upstart. On the way, we're lucky enough to catch a couple of spotted mackerel. As the only boat to catch fish on the passage, we decide to share our catch with everyone else. Once at Cape Upstart, we head ashore to explore some beautiful hidden rock pools tucked away up a valley. They certainly don't disappoint! Although there wasn't enough water flowing to swim, the scenery alone made the hike worthwhile. From there, we enjoy a fantastic sail north to the stunning Magnetic Island. After dropping anchor, we head ashore to celebrate another successful passage with a well-earned drink. But things don't quite go to plan... We make a rookie mistake with the tender. We did the right thing by anchoring it a little offshore to stop it from being beached, but we forgot to check the tide. By the time we returned, both tenders were floating in water over waist deep! Hugh took one for the team, jumped in, and swam out to retrieve them before bringing them safely back to shore.

Welcome back aboard Moor R & R for this weeks Adventure! Episode 35 Our journey north towards Cape Gloucester takes an unexpected turn when our entire electrical system suddenly shuts down. We lose everything onboard, leaving us with no power and even no working anchor winch! After picking up a mooring buoy, we begin troubleshooting every possible cause. We reset the system, check connections, and try everything we can think of—but nothing seems to work. Just when we finally manage to bring the electrical system back to life, another problem appears... our generator refuses to run! With the generator pump motor seized, we need a replacement as quickly as possible. Luckily, one of our buddy boats is heading off from Airlie Beach the very next day and kindly picks up the new pump for us. Sometimes the cruising community really comes through! With our batteries dropping to just 38% and relying solely on solar power, we decide to sail to Bowen to meet our friends and hopefully get everything working again. In Bowen, we anchor in the beautiful Queens Bay, where the massive granite boulders lining the beach make for an incredible backdrop. It's amazing to see how different this coastline is from the Whitsundays. Once our friends arrive with the replacement pump, it's time to get our hands dirty, reinstall the new motor, and see if we can finally bring the generator back to life. Will we get everything working before continuing our journey north? You'll have to watch to find out!

Our first stop is the beautiful Little Jonah Bay, where we're lucky enough to witness the incredible sight of manta rays cruising right alongside the tender. We also come across some squid and manage to catch just one—so it's time for another taste test of fresh calamari! Unfortunately, Mother Nature has other plans, and we're absolutely drenched by heavy rain. Although the fish aren't biting, we still enjoy exploring another stunning corner of the Whitsundays before lifting anchor and setting sail for Cape Gloucester. But what starts as another incredible day on the water quickly takes an unexpected turn... and before we know it, we lose everything.

Welcome back aboard Moor R & R for this week's adventure! Episode 33. After an incredible week exploring the Outer Great Barrier Reef, we arrive at the beautiful Saba Bay for more snorkelling and exploring. Gary decides it's the perfect time to try his luck squidding, but something else has its eye on the squid before he can get to it—and I have to say, it was the absolute highlight of my trip so far! Our adventure then takes us to Cid Harbour, where we discover another hidden creek to explore while waiting out some strong weather. The wind refuses to drop below 20 knots all week, making it far too rough for our usual Fun Time Float sessions. We even attempt to head out in the tender for a bit more exploring, but Mother Nature has other plans. Between the wind and the waves, we end up getting absolutely drenched and decide it's best to pull the pin and head back to the boat. So come along with us as we continue our Whitsunday adventure, encounter amazing wildlife, explore hidden corners of paradise, and make the most of whatever the weather throws our way.
