Leaving the Place Where It All Began | Sailing with the Jameses (Ep. 168)

Leaving the Whitsundays is never easy — especially when this is where our sailing life began. Before heading south, we take one last look at the places that feel like home. 🌊⛵ We’re mid-passage and making the most of seasonal northerly winds to head south down the east Australian coast. But first, we rewind and revisit some of our favourite Whitsundays anchorages — places that shaped our family and our life at sea. This is where we lived until Charlie was 12 months old. Where we sold almost everything we owned and chose to live full-time on a sailboat. So coming back here always feels familiar… like returning home :) Thanks so much for watching — don’t forget to like, subscribe, and come sailing with us ❤️ Fair winds, Sam, Cait & Charlie Sailing with the Jameses --------------------------------- 🎉 WANT TO KEEP VIDEOS COMING?
