E178 - Our First Real Test | 120 Nautical Miles to Koh Chang in 30 Knots

It was time to take No Regrets on her first real passage-a 120-nautical-mile journey to Koh Chang. The weather forecast turned out to be off, and we faced unexpected winds of around 30 knots, adding some excitement to the trip! We also set up our Vesper Cortex VHF/AIS and got the remote monitoring up and running, ensuring we'll get notified on our phone if the anchor drags. Join us as we embrace the challenges and joys of life on the water!

Hey there! We're Chris and Jo, an ordinary Aussie couple living our extraordinary dream aboard our Seawind 1260 since January 2019 and now we continue from 2024 aboard our new 1370! Our adventure began with an unforgettable journey down the east coast of Australia, followed by a sail to the stunning New Caledonia. In 2020, we continued our exploration further north, and by 2021 and 2022, we circumnavigated Australia, discovering breathtaking locations along the way. Having previously owned fishing and water-skiing boats, our passion for sailing deepened after crewing in South Australia, leading us to make the leap into full-time living at sea. We hope to inspire you, just as we were inspired by other YouTube channels, to chase your dreams and explore the wonders of this beautiful world.
