BOAT LIFE REALITY CHECK: The Ocean Doesn't Care About You OR Your Plans

It was March 2021, when we set off from the small coastal town of Coffs Harbour to see if we could complete a circumnavigation of Australia whilst completing our university degrees online. One major contributing factor to our decision to see our country instead of pushing offshore was to experience a particular creature that frequents this area of coastline we have finally found ourselves on and is something we've dreamed of seeing since departing in March 2021. But as it turns out, sighting them is not as easy as we thought, and when conditions begin to turn unfavourable, our reality starts to take a turn. Enjoying the episodes?
