Boat Life With Friends: Boat Shows and Beautiful Beaches Episode 44 @SailingAstridTheWombat

In this episode of @SailingAstridTheWombat we head to the Cleveland boating, camping and fishing show where we go in search of a flexible solar panel for our sailboat air conditioner and an induction hot plate for the galley on our boat. We then cast off the lines and head out into Moreton Bay Queensland Australia to give our friends a taste of boat life. We attempt to catch a fish and go ashore and spend some time at a beautiful beach. 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
