40 Knot Winds and Drop Bears: 40 Knot winds on our sailboat Episode 42 @SailingAstridTheWombat

We explore Peel Island in this episode of @SailingAstridTheWombat . We anchor ready for high winds and experience winds over 40 knots. We decide to stay as this is great experience for us for when we sail around the world. Each experience just keeps bringing us closer to taking off to sail around the world in our Beneteau Oceanis 430 and living our boat life dream.

We are Gav and Shezz an Aussie couple with a dream to sail and scuba dive around the world. We bought our Beneteau Oceanis 430 in October 2023 with zero sailing experience but the belief that we can do this. We have filmed our journey from looking for boats, buying the boat, downsizing so we can liveaboard and all the messy wonderful life stuff in between. Join us now as we start to get our boat prepared for liveaboard life. As new sailors we want to share all of our learnings and keep it real in our videos. We want to show step by step what it takes to choose a boat, buy the boat and learn how to sail. Our sailing learning curve is steep so come along with us as we learn and grow as liveaboard sailors. We promise you will have a laugh! Welcome aboard Astrid The Wombat Gav and Shezz You can also find us on Instagram and Facebook: Sailing Astrid the Wombat
