This week we are setting off from Gove in Arnhem Land and head into some of the most remote island chains in all of Australia — the Wessels. We sail through narrow island passes, drop a line and land a shark, and even spot unmanned vessels patrolling these off-grid waters. The landscape is wild, raw, and absolutely stunning — a part of the country few people ever get to see, let alone by sailboat. We are doing an overnight passage, rounding Cape Don under a starlit sky, entering the Van Diemen Gulf and complete our journey with a smooth arrival into Darwin, the capital of the Northern Territory. This leg of the voyage was full of surprises, solitude, and raw beauty — and we're stoked to share it with you. ⏱️CHAPTERS 00:00 – Welcome Aboard!

After crossing the mighty Gulf of Carpentaria, we’ve made landfall in Gove—also known as Nhulunbuy—on the remote coast of the Northern Territory. In this episode, we head ashore to visit our friend Rick, a town local who roasts his own coffee beans right at home. We get a behind-the-scenes look at his small-batch roasting setup, learn about the process from green bean to perfect cup, and of course—taste some of the best coffee we’ve had in ages. ☕️ From there, it’s a classic day in the life of cruisers: a trip to town, a surprisingly well-stocked Woolies with city-style prices, and back to shore for the holy grail of boat life—a hot shower.

Sailing from Lizard Island to the Flinders Group took an unexpected turn. Just as we put the screecher sail out, we had a part of the rigging let go— part of our bowsprit rigging — gave out, forcing us to adapt quickly while underway. But like every good sailing adventure, there’s always a silver lining! We made it safely to the Flinders Group, a stunning and remote collection of islands in Far North Queensland. There, we ventured ashore to explore ancient Aboriginal caves — sacred places covered in rock art that has stood for thousands of years. From unexpected gear failure to walking through ancient history, this episode has it all: sailing, problem-solving, epic landscapes, and a deep connection to Australia’s past. Join us as we push north and discover just how wild — and magical — this coastline can be. 🎉 WANT TO KEEP VIDEOS COMING?
