It's Curtains for our Beneteau Sailboat After Cyclone Force Winds!
Cyclone force winds and a tornado rip through the marina where our Beneteau Oceanis 430 is docked. We lose power and phones as a series of wild storms hit the coast causing widespread damage to boats in our area and sadly loss of lives. In this episode we do our best to keep our boat safe as the storms continuously smash our coastline. Amidst all the damage and heartache for sailors in our area we continue with the boat jobs to make this sail boat feel like home. 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
