Round Two! Our Second Time Sailing the Gulf of Carpentaria | Sailing with the Jameses (Ep.158)

We’re setting sail from the remote outpost town of Gove, in the far reaches of Northern Australia, for one of our 350 nautical mile passage across the Gulf of Carpentaria! We’ve been awaiting this weather window to head against the trade winds - and that time has finally come. From Gove to the Torres Strait — it’s time to go! Along the way, we’re rigging up new fishing lures, hoping for a big catch after something absolutely hammered our last one. Charlie is on deck helping build a new lure setup with some flashy skirts, and we can’t wait to see what bites in these fish-filled northern waters. So grab a coffee or a beer, settle in, and join us as we cross the Gulf of Carpentaria — one of the most remote and beautiful parts of Australia.
