Welcome to the first chapter of Beyond the Sea. Join me as I explore the best of Central Vietnam, travelling solo through the vibrant city of Da Nang, the lantern-lined streets of Hội An, the peaceful rice fields, the breathtaking Hải Vân Pass, and the world-famous Golden Bridge at Bà Nà Hills. From unforgettable train journeys and spectacular coastal scenery to rich culture, incredible food, and hidden gems, this trip is about experiencing the real Vietnam—one adventure at a time.

It’s about embracing new adventures wherever they lead, whether that’s crossing oceans by sailboat or discovering amazing places around the world.

Rob and I shared an incredible adventure sailing the Pacific and Indian Oceans aboard Jaygo. Together we created memories that will stay with me forever, and I’m so grateful to everyone who joined us along the way. Many of you have been asking what happened to Sailing Jaygo, so I wanted to share the story with you. In this video, I open up about our breakup, why our sailing journey came to an end, and what life looks like now. While this chapter has closed, it’s also the beginning of an exciting new adventure. The Sailing Jaygo videos will remain here on this channel, so you can continue to enjoy over 112 sailing adventures whenever you like. This channel is now evolving into Sailing Jaygo Beyond the Sea, where I’ll continue sharing travel, sailing, hiking, hidden gems, and unforgettable adventures from Australia and around the world. 🌏 Follow me: 📺 YouTube: Sailing Jaygo Beyond the Sea 📘 Facebook: facebook.com/Sailingjaygobeyondthesea 📷 Instagram: sailingjaygobeyondthesea ⛵ If you’d like to continue following Rob’s sailing adventures aboard Jaygo, you can watch him on YouTube at (Sailing on Jaygo).

We are at beautiful Moreton Island, at Tangalooma wreaks for an unforgettable experience—swimming alongside the incredible wobbegong sharks. 🦈 What starts as an amazing adventure quickly takes a turn when the weather shifts, and we find ourselves caught in a storm while anchored on a lee shore. With rising winds and building swell, things get intense fast. Join us for a mix of stunning island scenery, unique wildlife encounters, and a reminder of just how quickly conditions can change at sea. 🎥 Don’t forget to like, comment, and subscribe for more sailing adventures! #sailing #sharks #woobegongsharks #sailingaustralia #tangalooma #tangaloomashipwreaks Music Home by Elena

Sailing across Moreton Bay to North Stradbroke Island, before taking shelter from a passing supercell at Canaipa Passage. A day of sailing, storms and mud crabbing in beautiful Queensland waters. Today we sail across Moreton Bay to take shelter from a passing supercell at Canaipa located on the north east tip of Russell Island While hiding from the storm we try our luck catching mud crabs with Eve and Consti, and Rob shows Consti how to safely restrain a mud crab. Once the weather clears, we continue sailing to one of the most beautiful islands on Australia’s east coast — North Stradbroke Island, located just off Brisbane. #SailingAustralia #MoretonBay #NorthStradbrokeIsland #sailing #sailinglife

We’re still sailing south — beating upwind from Cairns all the way to Brisbane. This leg of the journey isn’t the easy downwind dream. It’s tacking, patience, changing conditions, and the kind of sailing that really tests both boat and crew. We stop along the way at beautiful islands and Rob unexpectedly hooks a shark.

Join us as we sail upwind from Cairns to Beautiful Fitzroy Island and back, with a friend along for the ride. After a great day on the water, we explore Cairns and share some of the best spots in this tropical coastal city.

Sailing from Indonesia to Australia (Thursday Island).

Rob gives some examples of things you might think about taking when sailing to remote islands. Specifically he talks about items that can make a positive impact to the lives of the locals.

in this week's Sailing Jaygo video we clear Quarantine, Customs, Immigration & Harbour Master in Saumlaki, Indonesia. Many sailors use an agent to smooth this process, but where is the fun in that? We also donate some school supplies & a soccer ball to a local school.

This week we show PART 2 of our Sailing Passage from Indonesia to Australia, showing typical life onboard for us as we handle our watches. We explain why we took the route we did, and show the weather conditions we experienced. We also explain our sail plan. If you missed PART 1 it is here https://youtu.be/KSracpN9C4U

In this weeks video we sail our Amel Super Maramu, JAYGO, from Indonesia to Australia. We have to take the last of the Monsoon westerlies but not too early in case we strike a late season cyclone. We dodge squalls & lightning storms along the way but get a pretty good run in the end. This is Part 1 of our passage.

In this week's sailing video we clean up the growth on Jaygo's hull. The water in Bali is so hot & full of "nutrients", it makes for the perfect environment for marine growth. We also make a quick trip to Manila to do a "visa run" as we have to leave Indonesia to renew our visas. Dee give a bit of background to the visitor visas for Indonesia.

In this week's sailing video Rob FINALLY repairs the Water Maker on Jaygo. He speaks about his experience with FilmTec RO membranes and shows the problems that we have had. We also visit the Bali Sailing Centre which is run by the AMAZING Pak Kiki. Kiki works tirelessly to teach sailing to people who in many cases would not get the opportunity. His Sailing Centre caters for all ages from 7 to 80 and all levels of experience, but his real passion is for teaching the local Indonesian kids. Dee also gets fed up with her long hair in the Indonesian summer and visits the hairdresser to take drastic action.

In this week’s sailing video we don’t actually sail anywhere! We snorkel & surf, check out the local Warungs, and then head to the mountains of North Bali where we were honoured to to attend as special guests at a Traditional Balinese wedding.

In this week’s sailing video Jaygo is in Serangan Harbour, Bali, Indonesia. Plastic pollution is a major problem in the waterways here. Dee has to deal with a medical issue that turns out to be a bigger deal than first thought. The monsoon starts & the delay totally scuppers our plans to continue north to Malaysia, Singapore & Thailand this season.

In this weeks Sailing video, Jaygo is the victim of a lightning strike in Indonesia. Rob troubleshoots the damaged electronics to try to work out what components were cooked. Sourcing spare parts was a problem! Thanks again for watching our Sailing Channel. Sorry for the delay between videos as we have had a bit on!

This week we visit Serangan, Canggu, Ubud & Uluwatu on the Indonesian island of Bali. We do the usual touristy stuff that is very different to how we normally experience other cultures while sailing Jaygo. A fair bit is crammed into this video, but it gives a bit of a taste of our visit there.

In this weeks sailing video we continue West & sail to Nusa Lembongan. Although Lembongan is very close to Bali, it is WAY quieter. We struggle to work out which of the many mooring balls were the "Free" ones we had heard about. Most were pretty dodgy to say the least.

In this weeks sailing video we visit Gili Aer & the other Gili Islands of Indonesia. We check out the underwater sculptures and swim with the local turtles. We also check out an abandoned village on Gili Asahan. We definitely notice the increased impact of tourism as we get closer to Bali.
