E81 - Replacing Broken Halyards & Paddling Up Yardie Creek George WA

Leaving Exmouth we round the Harold Holt Naval Communication Station and the Navy Pier that we dived in the previous episode. We sail down the coast stopping at Yardie Creek where Chris goes up Laylah's mast in 20-30 knots winds and a bumpy sea to fix a couple broken halyards which got caught when furling the headsail. With repairs done it was time to explore Yardie Creek on our stand up paddle boards exploring the spectacular sheer cliffs up the Yardie Creek Gorge.

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 Aussie 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. #ningalooreef #exmouth #yardiecreek #circumnavigationaustralia #seawind1260 #seawindcats
