Ep 171 | Worst Nightmare! Engine Failure During Night Time Arrival, Gold Coast, Australia

We continue to try and sail to Australia but the weather is definitely against us. After 6 days at sea we have no choice but to motor the last three to four days to make it to Australia. We’ve sailed over 10,000 nm, but as we enter the channel into Australia our engine decides to die! We have tide against us and its pitch black outside, with a moonless night! Magnus spends quite some time trying to get Izzy, our engine, going. We are both very tired and just want to be at our destination. Thanks all of you for supporting and making these adventures possible.
