First Time Out of the Marina: Sailing from Manly to Peel Island Australia

Since Sailing from Townsville to Brisbane to bring our Beneteau Oceanis sailboat home we have been stuck in the marina at the mercy of severe storms. In this episode we finally get the opportunity to leave the marina and head from Manly Brisbane Australia across to Peel Island. It's a great day on the water and on the beach with the family and it's starting to feel a lot like our dreams are coming true. Join us for this episode and more and please leave a comment, like and subscribe. We are Gav and Shezz 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 as we start to get our boat prepared for liveaboard life. As new sailors we want to share all of our learnings and keep it real in our videos. We want to show step by step what it takes to choose a boat, buy the boat and learn how to sail. Our sailing learning curve is steep so come along with us as we learn and grow as liveaboard sailors. We promise you will have a laugh! Welcome aboard to Astrid The Wombat Gav and Shezz You can also find us on Instagram and Facebook: Sailing Astrid the Wombat
