We Made an OFFER on a 65ft Steel Expedition Trawler… (Ep.187)

We made an OFFER on a BOAT… and now we wait 😬 After flying to Tasmania to find our next liveaboard boat, we’ve officially put in an offer on a 65ft steel aft wheelhouse trawler, an expedition vessel… and now comes the hardest part — waiting to hear back from the broker. To distract ourselves (and our constantly refreshing phones 😅), we head out to the historic George Town and the iconic Low Head Lighthouse with its incredible famous fog horn - the loudest fog horn in the Southern Hemisphere (it is LOUD). And we look for penguins! Will our offer be accepted?
