I Thought I Knew Who I Was – Then I Went Sailing! What does the ocean really teach you when you choose to live on it? If you’re curious about life afloat, personal growth through challenge, or what the ocean gives you when you commit to listening to it – this one’s for you. Living at sea has a way of stripping things back. Out here, control is mostly an illusion – the ocean does what it does, and you learn to work with it, not against it. And in that space, you start to see yourself more clearly. This video is a reflection on what the ocean has taught me so far – about strength, fear, humility, and who I really am when there’s nowhere to hide. It’s about the reality behind the sunsets and turquoise water. The constant alertness. The moments of doubt. The unexpected growth. And the quiet confidence that builds, slowly, over time. It’s honest, it’s personal, and it’s not always easy. But it’s real. And it’s been one of the most profound experiences of my life. This journey began with Jason’s dream, and I’m deeply grateful he invited me to be part of it – for his patience, kindness, and steady strength as I’ve met more of myself out here.

Not a How-To – Just Real Engine Maintenance on a Yanmar 3YM30. Servicing the engine isn’t glamorous, but it’s one of those jobs that really matters. In this episode, I tackle a full engine service on our Yanmar 3YM30 – including an oil and fuel filter change, chasing down a leak, and replacing a broken impeller that could have caused far bigger problems if it had gone unnoticed. This definitely isn’t an instructional step-by-step, but it’s an honest look at what’s involved when you take on your own engine maintenance. There’s plenty of “boat yoga” along the way – arms and legs at odd angles, tight spaces, dropped tools, and moments of doubt – but we get there in the end. Finding the leak turned into a more expensive exercise than planned, but it also uncovered the failed impeller, making it a timely and worthwhile discovery. It’s a good reminder that sometimes the frustrating jobs are the ones that save you down the track. If you’re thinking about servicing your own engine, or just curious about what really goes on below deck, there’s plenty here to learn – and maybe a bit of reassurance that you don’t need to be a mechanic to give it a go.

You can research liveaboard life endlessly – but some lessons only show up once you’re living it. In this video, we share 7 things you only learn living aboard – the hard, the unexpected, and the genuinely life-changing. After moving aboard full-time, we quickly realised that boat life isn’t just about sailing and sunsets. It’s about systems, mindset, weather awareness, constant problem-solving, and learning how to live well in a very small, very dynamic space. In this episode, we cover: – Why less really is more when you live aboard – The small upgrades that became absolute game-changers – How organisation can make or break daily life on a boat – What the ocean teaches you about weather, patience, and control – The mental load of safety, power management, and constant alertness – The parts of liveaboard life that are quietly exhausting – And why, despite everything, it’s worth every single minute It hasn’t all been easy – there were moments that were uncomfortable, confronting, and at times genuinely terrifying. But the growth, confidence, and sense of achievement that come from living this way have been extraordinary. We’re heading out again next season with a different style of trip, a bigger focus on provisioning and self-reliance, and a few more lessons under our belt. This video captures the foundation that got us there. Thanks for watching.

This trip marked a big milestone – my first proper solo sail on ARGO. I cast off from the marina completely on my own, sailed across to Stradbroke Island in Moreton Bay, dropped anchor in a beautiful spot, then made the return trip and solo berthed back in the marina. It was equal parts exciting, nerve-wracking, and hugely confidence building. While anchored, I made the most of the location and ticked off a few long-overdue boat jobs – tracking down a diesel leak in one of the fuel tanks, fibreglassing a cracked step for the first time, and building some new screens for the hatches. There’s still plenty on the list, but this felt like real progress. Solo sailing pushes you to slow down, think ahead, and trust what you’ve learned. This was a good reminder of just how far we, and ARGO, have come. Thanks for watching.

In this episode, we share our final 118nm from Inskip Point to Brisbane, wrapping up our massive 2823nm round trip to Cairns and back – and it delivered one last mix of surprises. On the trip out of Inskip, we were all set to take on the Wide Bay Bar again when we spotted a few boats sneaking through Fisherman’s Gutter instead of battling the infamous “Mad Mile”. Conditions were calm, so we followed their lead and it paid off beautifully – saving us ~5–6nm and more than an hour. A game-changing shortcut we’ll definitely use again when the weather allows. After a quick stopover in Mooloolaba, Mother Nature turned it on… in all the wrong ways. Four storms rolled through, including our worst one yet: a brutal supercell slamming us with 44.4kn gusts (82km/hr), hail, torrential rain and cyclonic winds. Boats were dragging, colliding, one ended up on the rocks – and we even helped rescue a yacht whose anchor jammed while they were being pushed into another vessel. That’s more than enough excitement for this season. Once we finally made it home, a few good mates dropped in for celebratory drinks (thanks guys). Now we face the long list of boat jobs ahead of next season’s adventure up to the Cape. Thanks for sharing the journey with us, it’s been a rollercoaster but we’re keen to get back out and see more of this great coastline. Thanks for watching.

In this episode, we continue our trek south – already 694nm down – with this passage taking us a further 261nm from Pancake Creek to the base of Fraser (K’gari) Island. After a great yet slightly traumatic side trip to Lady Musgrave Island, where we were smashed by a surprise 39-knot storm (check out Episode 47 for that chaos), we spent a few days riding out the spring storms in Bundaberg – including helping a fellow sailor remove a fishing lure from his back! Never a dull moment… From there, we pushed on to Fraser (K’gari) Island, spending 11 days exploring more of this stunning part of Queensland. On our way out of the Sandy Straits we took an alternative route that saved us a heap of time and proved to be far less shallow than expected – an excellent discovery for the logbook. So far, we’ve clocked 955nm and 39 days on this epic journey home. The adventure continues… Thanks for watching.

On our journey back south, we finally made it out to Lady Musgrave Island after trying a few times along our journey but never finding the right weather window. This time the forecast looked perfect, so we joined about 20 other boats heading into the lagoon, where the water is turquoise, crystal clear, and full of turtles. Despite all the chatter about how tricky the entrance can be, we found it one of the easiest reef entries we’ve done – short, clear, well-marked, and with plenty of moorings. It’s an amazing spot if you get the chance to come out. But then things got intense. Late at night we answered a VHF call for a welfare check on another boat – in the dark, at low tide, inside the reef. And just when we thought we could relax, a storm rolled through with lightning and unexpected 39kn winds. Two boats dragged anchor and it turned into one anxious night for everyone inside the lagoon. Thankfully, everyone was safe, and we made a quick exit the next morning to the shelter of the Burnett River. Gosh, storm season at sea… not for the faint-hearted! Thanks for watching.

In this episode, our passage south continues – another 85 nautical miles under our belts as we sail from North Keppel Island to Yeppoon for a quick reprovision, before setting out again via Great Keppel Island and onwards to Pancake Creek. That brings us to 694 nautical miles travelled, with just 176 to go before we’re finally home (unless of course we take more detours...). But the ocean had yet another test in store for us. While anchored at Pancake Creek, a northerly storm rolled in – thunder cracking overhead, lightning flashing across the sky, and winds gusting to 34 knots. Not the place to be in a blow like that from that direction! We rode it out, drenched and exhausted, but it set us up for a fast run to Lady Musgrave Island – our final challenge on this long passage south. Funnily enough, on our way north we’d also copped some pretty gnarly winds in this same anchorage, so it seems Pancake Creek just isn’t our lucky spot. We would have been happy not to see another storm like that for a while, but there's even more to come. Thanks for watching.

Leg 2 of our big trek home – and what a run it’s been! We covered another 300 nautical miles over 10 days, dropping anchor at 8 beautiful spots between Cape Gloucester, the Whitsundays and North Keppel Island. There was some wily weather, plenty of sunshine, and a few of those golden sunsets that make the long days worth it. Somewhere along the way, our sail car gave up, but with a bit of MacGyver magic we managed to patch it up and keep sailing. We also had some cracking sails and a heap of fun tacking our way through – it feels good to finally be getting the hang of it! Oh, and the highlight? A 144cm Spanish mackerel that made us (the cat and the freezer) very happy. We’ve now notched up over 600 nautical miles on the trip south – only about 260 to go. The home stretch is in sight… though there might be a few detours yet.

In this video, we’ve begun the long trek south from Cairns back to Brisbane – we will do over 780 nautical miles all up (depending on how many detours we take!). It took us 185 days to meander our way north, but with only 25 days to get south of Gladstone for insurance, we’re now doing some big sailing days to make it happen. Part 1 of the journey covers Cairns to Cape Gloucester – 309nm in just six days! We’re tired but it was worth every mile to have squeezed in a few more days exploring the Great Barrier Reef. The Queensland coastline is huge, and this leg included Kym’s second-ever night sail… which we accidentally did in total darkness after miscalculating the moonrise! But we made it, safe and salty, ready to gear up for Part 2 as we continue the push south toward Gladstone.

Before we left North Queensland on the long trek home, we took the chance to head out to the Great Barrier Reef to visit stunning Arlington Reef and Upolu Reef, just off Cairns. At Arlington, we had our very own private lagoon – the clearest, most incredible blue water you’ve ever seen. Jason speared his first-ever Coral Trout while we snorkelled among vibrant coral gardens. Sadly, my underwater camera decided to take its job description a bit too seriously. It’s now completely full of water and has officially retired from filming – though it still looks the part. So at Upolu, when we spotted our first-ever clownfish in the wild, you’ll just have to take our word for it! Both reefs were breathtaking, and we feel so fortunate to have explored this spectacular part of Queensland before beginning our 820nm sail home. What an adventure it’s been! Thanks for watching.

We took some very good friends from Cairns over to Fitzroy Island for a long weekend of fun, snorkelling, and some much-needed time to reconnect. With a Spanish Mackerel on the line on our way over, there was plenty of fresh fish to share with the whole gang. The snorkelling was incredible – healthy coral, schools of colourful fish, and then a truly magical moment when a curious turtle swam right up to the camera. It felt calm, connected and utterly unforgettable – one of those encounters that reminds you why the ocean has such a hold on us. It was so special to share this time with people who truly matter. A final catch-up back in Trinity Inlet – capped off with some unexpected fireworks – was the perfect ending to a weekend that had it all. Thanks Cairns, how lovely to see you again.

We battled 36kn winds, torrential rain and big seas on our way to Cairns – one of our toughest passages yet aboard ARGO! We left Kent Island and headed for Mourilyan Harbour to ride out some serious weather – and big it was, with gusts up to nearly 70km/hr even inside the harbour! Outside must’ve been wild, so we were grateful for the protection. With torrential rain and grey skies for days, we finally spotted a break in the weather and made a dash north towards Cairns. The sea had other plans though – the waves had us feeling more like we were in a washing machine than the ocean! After a rough ride, we dropped anchor in the calm, protected waters of Fitzroy Island, where we visited their Turtle Rehabilitation Centre before continuing on to Yorkeys Knob to collect friends for a few days together. It’s a huge milestone to have made it to Cairns, something we honestly weren’t sure we’d achieve this season! Thanks for watching.

We sailed out to Eddy Reef, just off Dunk Island, to take advantage of a patch of good weather and explore another part of the Great Barrier Reef. With vibrant coral, plenty of fish, and even a friendly turtle to swim alongside, it turned into one of our most memorable snorkels yet. From there, we dropped anchor at Kent Island – a tiny coral island with stunning views and a sunset that lit up the whole sky. Next stop: Mourilyan Harbour, where we’ll sit out a few fairly hectic rainy, windy days before making our way north to Cairns. The trek north continues. Thanks for watching.

Dunk Island was once a thriving resort destination before Cyclone Yasi struck in 2011, leaving much of it in ruins. Today, the island is slowly coming back to life. There’s a beautiful new glamping area, a fantastic amenities block, a relaxed café serving cold beers and great food, and a stunning beach perfect for unwinding. While the old resort buildings still bear the scars of the storm – with trees even growing through some of the rooves – it’s heartening to see signs of renewal. Dunk Island remains a magical spot, and it’s well worth the visit to experience both its natural beauty and its story of resilience. Thanks for watching.

From coral reef to island paradise – this sailing passage took us from John Brewer Reef to Dunk Island, with a stop through the breathtaking Hinchinbrook Channel. The dramatic mountain ranges, lush rainforests and winding creek systems make this area one of the most spectacular parts of Queensland’s coast. We dropped anchor at Lucinda, took the tender to shore and enjoyed a great pub meal before heading deeper into Hinchinbrook’s waterways. Gayundah Creek was a highlight – calm, sheltered and surrounded by stunning scenery, even when the winds picked up. Finally, we set sail for Dunk Island to wrap up this unforgettable leg of the journey. Thanks for watching.

We set sail from beautiful Orpheus Island and made our way out to John Brewer Reef, one of the most unique spots on the Great Barrier Reef. Picking up a mooring right on the reef, we had front-row access to crystal-clear aquamarine water, vibrant coral, and an underwater experience like no other – the Museum of Underwater Art (MOUA). Snorkelling around the sculptures was both surreal and breathtaking, with marine life weaving through the artwork, making it feel like nature and art had become one. Add to that some incredible reef scenery, sunshine, and perfect conditions – and this was an unforgettable stop that truly lived up to the hype. Every sail out to the reef builds our confidence, and this trip was one for the memory books – a must-do if you’re sailing or snorkelling around Townsville. Thanks for watching.

Orpheus Island has always felt a little out of reach – a tiny slice of paradise with a price tag of $2395 a night! But on this trip, we were lucky enough to tie up to a free mooring buoy and soak in the magic without the luxury bill. From secluded beaches and a peaceful bush walk to a lookout with breathtaking views, to ending the day with freshly caught fish cooked aboard ARGO – it all felt like such a treat. We were especially excited to visit the Giant Clam Garden, though what we found left us deeply saddened after the events earlier this year. Still, this beautiful island gave us a moment to pause, reflect, and appreciate the journey so far. This was our stepping-stone before heading out to the reef – and we’re so glad we finally made it.

We sailed from Townsville across to Magnetic Island and were pleasantly surprised by just how much it had to offer. From stunning beaches and a calm anchorage at Horseshoe Bay to a surprisingly fascinating WWII Fort walk, this island is full of history, nature, and charm. Along the way we spotted koalas in the trees, playful rock wallabies, and enjoyed exploring the island with the handy $1 daily bus pass. Add in a local brewery, great little restaurants, and plenty of relaxing spots and Magnetic Island has quickly become one of our favourite destinations so far. We can’t wait to return!

After 2½ unforgettable months in the Whitsundays, it was finally time to point ARGO north and begin our passage to Townsville. Over 5 days we meandered our way up the coast, treated to an incredible mix of moments – whales breaching nearby, Kym taking the helm as skipper, and the excitement of catching our very first Spanish mackerel (a monster at over a metre long!). With steady winds and some beautiful sails along the way, this leg of the journey was a reminder of why we love life afloat – the surprises, the challenges, and the pure joy of the sea. Watch as we leave the Whitsundays behind and embrace the next chapter of our sailing adventure. Thanks for watching.
