E70 - Montgomery Reef & the Amazing Falls

After waiting for the tides to be timed better in the day, we return to Raft Point in preparation for the trip to Montgomery Reef. Heading off just before sunrise we catch the start of the outgoing tide and witness the amazing spectacle of the world's largest inshore reef being transformed by some of the biggest tidal changes on Earth. In an amazing spectacle, the coral reef appears to rise from the ocean in a torrent of cascading water creating hundreds of miniature waterfalls.

We’re Chris and Jo and we have been living on our Seawind 1260 since January 2019. In our first year we bring our yacht down the east coast of Australia and sail it out to New Caledonia. After cruising further north up the east coast of Australia in 2020, we decide to circumnavigate Australia during 2021 and 2022. We had previously owned fishing and water skiing boats, but after a couple years crewing in South Australia we decided to jump right in and make a sea change. We are just an ordinary Aussies couple exploring what this great world has to offer and hope that we can inspire others just as we were by watching other YouTube channels to follow our dreams. #seawind1260 #kimberleys #circumnavigationaustralia #seawindcats #montgomeryreef #drone
