Episode 8: When Sailing Doesn't Go to Plan. Day One Sailing Townsville to Brisbane Australia

We are 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 for our first day ever of sailing when we start the ten day journey to sail our boat home from Townsville to Brisbane Queensland Australia. This first day of the sail really doesn't go to plan so follow on to find out what happens when your sail plan needs to be changed due to instrument failure. Watch as our first day ever of sailing becomes over 24hrs long in heavy seas. Our sailing learning curve is steep so come along with us as we learn and grow as liveaboard sailors.
