We Pull In. Tie Up. And Set off to Vanuatu...on a Secret Mission | Sailing with the Jameses (Ep.162)

After nearly 1,500 nautical miles of sailing from the Northern Territory, we finally arrive back in civilisation — Cairns! We make a quick 15-minute pit stop, and then head straight out to Fitzroy Island for snorkelling, hiking, and coffee. From there it’s on to Magnetic Island… and then suddenly we’re waving goodbye to Sam as he jets off to Vanuatu for a two-week job.
