Roasted in the Remote Outback - Full Steam Ahead! | Sailing with the Jameses (Ep.144)

After crossing the mighty Gulf of Carpentaria, we’ve made landfall in Gove—also known as Nhulunbuy—on the remote coast of the Northern Territory. In this episode, we head ashore to visit our friend Rick, a town local who roasts his own coffee beans right at home. We get a behind-the-scenes look at his small-batch roasting setup, learn about the process from green bean to perfect cup, and of course—taste some of the best coffee we’ve had in ages. ☕️ From there, it’s a classic day in the life of cruisers: a trip to town, a surprisingly well-stocked Woolies with city-style prices, and back to shore for the holy grail of boat life—a hot shower. Thanks for watching, and see you next week as the adventure continues! CHAPTERS 00:00 – Welcome aboard 01:04 – Heading to Rick’s house 02:45 – Where are we? Gove or Nhulunbuy? 04:00 – Coffee time!
