Are We Going to Run Out of Fuel? 😅 Road trip Perth to Darwin | Sailing with the Jameses (Ep. 152)

We are down in Perth for a course and mixed in a family road trip holiday, with the course now completed and wrapped up -- it’s time to hit the road! We’re starting our 4,000 km journey north, road-tripping all the way back to Darwin to get back onboard our sailboat SV Emma James. This week we pick up our rented Motorhome 2.0—our new temporary home on wheels! But right away we notice something… the fuel consumption is higher than expected 😅 Which is going to make some of those big hops through Western Australia very interesting. Join us for the start of this family road trip adventure, a full motorhome tour, and a peek at what life looks like when we swap the ocean for the open road.
