Episode 388 : Season 12 : Sailing Australia

Hello Friends,
On this episode we hauled up at Digby island and had a 10 hour 44NM passage to St. Bees where we had a very noisy night on the mooring ball as it slammed continuously into the hull over and over and over.

We had read about the Koalas on St. Bees that are studied for their unique success as an isolated population. You can read more about there here: https://www.abc.net.au/news/20....22-09-04/island-myst

We found a really neat dry tidal lagoon onshore and some dense bush with butterflies, wild orchids and a shy kangaroo. We also found A KOALA!!!!!! My first time seeing one in the wild!!!!!

Hello Friends,
On this episode I sit down to talk about the upcoming episodes on the channel. With my visa set to expire (as well as my passport needing to be renewed) and NZ winter approaching, I tucked Triteia safely into Whangarei Town Basin marina and made my way back to the states for some adventures.

Episode #230 : Season 8 : The Hawaiian Adventures : Bringing a 1959 Triton to Honolulu - Part 1

Hello Friends, Welcome to a new episode of "Yacht Delivery Chronicles"! On this episode my friend Esteban and myself catch a ride onboard SV Solstice with Captain Geoff sailing from Ko Olina on Oahu to Port Allen on Kauai. The purpose of our trip is to bring Esteban's new boat, a 1959 Person Triton (Hull #34) from Kauai to Honolulu.

We had a mellow crossing of the Kauai Channel with slack Tradewinds with some excitement at the end when we discovered a cracked fuel line and made a temporary repair.

Join us next week to watch us Turn and Burn and bring Esteban's new boat home after only being on Kauai for 5 hours!

Episode 378 : Season 12 : Sailing Australia

Hello Friends,
On this episode we show you what it's like to be a live aboard and a little of what goes into getting water, food, boat parts and finding a place to do laundry. These are simple chores for those who live on land but for cruising sailors who are always finding themselves in new places, it is not quite so simple. Australia has some amazing public docks with free water which makes that chore much easier than it is in some places I have sailed to around the world. This will get even more tricky as we move into wild and remote places!

We also took full advantage of the well stocked chandleries in Australia while we had access to them and were happy to find sound damping for the engine bay!

This is an Archive Document of my talk at Patagonia in June of 2023 in Santa Monica, California. I filmed this just to have a recording of the talk and not necessarily with the intention of public release but thought some of you would enjoy seeing it so I am releasing it now.

Thanks to Patagonia for hosting it and for Chris King for setting it up. During this talk I cover how I got into sailing, buying the boat and sailing off into the horizon and talk about my adventures as far as New Zealand. I will be doing future talks like this as I continue to sail and collect new experiences and adventures.

Hello Friends,
This is a live stream to chat about the Solo Tasman film and what we have been up to since arriving in Australia for anyone who wants to hang out after the premiere is finished.

See y'all in the chat !

Season 7 : Episode #165 : Bound for the Northern Channel Islands

Hello Friends,

On this weeks episode we depart for a 10 day trip to explore the Northern Channel Islands; San Miguel, Santa Rosa, Santa Cruz & Anacapa.

These Islands are wild and lack facilities of any kind and the winds blowing down from Point Conception can make San Miguel and Santa Rosa very dangerous at times. We had delayed our departure by 3 days due to high winds and after I felt the seas had had time to calm down after the blow we departed on a flat ocean with no wind to speak of, which was great because we were heading into the prevailing winds and currents.

We had a easy passage of 97 nautical miles in 19 hours of motor sailing. Only at the end did the winds increase and force us to duck into Morse Point on Santa Cruz Island.

Episode #291 : Season 9 : The South Pacific

Hello Friends,

On this episode I wake up in the peaceful anchorage of Makogai Island and enjoy fresh papaya given to me by Pow at the Fiji Fisheries village. In the beautiful morning light I head out on a dinghy adventure to check out the coral and clam farm off of the old pier at the Makogai Island Marine Research Center ( https://www.levukafiji.com/makogai/ )

This coral and clam farm is a safe haven and nursery for the endangered giant clams, sea turtles as well as young coral. The marine biologists and field researchers grow the coral and clams to maturity then distribute them around the Fijian islands to help replenish the coral beds that have suffered destruction from both mass bleaching events and cyclones, most notability Cyclone Winston in 2016.

Episode #188 - UP WITH THE STICK

Hello Friends,

The time has FINALLY arrived to step the NEW MAST ! This turned out to be a MUCH bigger feat than lowering our old mast with the same process. The new mast is likely twice heavier and so much more is at stake.

I hope to NEVER have to do this again with our mast. Next time we will use a crane. I would say its a perfectly suitable method of raising and lowering mast that isn't super loaded up with halyards, double spreaders, radar, masthead equipment and all of the weight of the wiring that comes with it.

A very stressful experience for me but it all went off perfectly.

Episode 368 : Season 12 : Sailing Australia

Hello Friends,
On this episode we slip the line at Castle Lagoon and make our way deeper into Cowan Creek. It echos our time in the Marlborough Sounds of New Zealand with its deep coves and inlets and general lack of manmade structures. After not finding good holding to anchor, we continue on to Twilight Inlet and pick up a mooring ball for the night.

Hello Friends,

We would love it if you would join us for a live stream this weekend where we talk about our time in the land down under and say goodbye Australia. We are currently anchored at Horn Island just across from Thursday Island where we will be clearing out the day after the live stream to sail to Indonesia.

We have plenty of more adventure episodes still to come for our Australian Adventures, but I always like to do live streams before leaving a country and sailing on to reflect on all that we have seen and done.

We have sailed 2150NM from Sydney up through the Great Barrier Reef around Cape York to the very top of Australia. Visiting 85 anchorages along the way, exploring historic and wild places and meeting a ton of amazing people.

The live chat will be on so make sure you pop on and say hi and ask any questions you might have about our time here and our future plans.

Episode 382 : Season 12 : Sailing Australia

Hello Friends,
On this episode we sail out into the Great Barrier Reef and visit Lady Musgrave Island, a coral atoll lagoon with a small sand cay (island). We snorkeled daily and enjoyed exploring the small island. We absolutely loved Lady Musgrave and both agreed it has been the best adventure so far!!!

Episode 344 : Season 10 : New Zealand - Aotearoa

Hello Friends,
On this episode I haul up anchor at Great Barrier Island after an amazing stay and make way for Waiheke Island to hide from some approaching weather. The passage started out quiet but as the day progressed the seas started to build in the Hauraki Gulf and by the time I approached Waiheke the seas were charging and the winds were force 5.

I eventually made my way around to the south side of the island and tucked into Putiki Bay in the howling winds.

Episode 404 : Season 13 : Sailing Indonesia

Hello Friends,
On this episode we visit the Bajo Sea Gypsy village of Sampela at Wakatobi National Park. Our guide, Dan, is a member of the tribe and took us to his home on his amazing fishing boat where his wife prepared lunch for us of a fish Dan had caught the day before.

Visiting this village was mind blowing for me! The construction of the houses over the reef, the super sketchy boardwalks and minimal living conditions felt like something out of a movie, yet here we were exploring this amazing place. This was certainly the highlight of my circumnavigation so far!

You can find out more about the Bajo Tribe here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bajo

Episode 407 : Season 13 : Sailing Indonesia

Hello Friends,
On this episode we navigate our way though the many unhidden dangers that come with poorly charted waters. Using satellite images as charts I plotted our course through the dangers using only the visual of the images and not traditional sea charts we usually use and trust.

We arrived at an amazing unnamed cay in the Take Bonerate National Park and were treated to surreal scenes.

THE FALKEN SAGAS: An Epic Adventure with 59º North Sailing Along The Viking Route:
Newfoundland to Greenland to Iceland.

Welcome to The Falken Sagas series. I left Triteia in her southern hemisphere’s winter berth in Whangarei, New Zealand and flew back to North America to meet up with Andy Schell and 59º North Sailing. Andy had invited me to join him on a high latitude adventure onboard their Farr 65, Falken, to sail the Viking Route from Newfoundland to Greenland, transit Prince Christian Sound and sail on to the West Fjords of Iceland across the North Atlantic. Along for this adventure was Andy’s First Mate Vilma and the crew of the Falken; Jim, Matt, Richa, Johnathan, Charlotte, Gavin, Alejandro & Nick.

I have made several long format films and video episodes documenting our journey and adventures. Starting with preparations in Newfoundland then our passage to Greenland, our time cruising in Southern Greenland and our passage to Iceland. All of the drone footage you see in the films was shot by Andy Schell, otherwise all the footage was filmed by myself on a GoPro hero 10.

About 59º North:

ANDY SCHELL & MIA KARLSSON started 59º North to pursue their own passion for offshore sailing and to share it with other like-minded people out there who yearn to see what's over the horizon & learn about themselves in the process. We set an ambitious schedule, sailing 10,000 MILES PER YEAR making landfall in ports from the Caribbean to the Arctic, Bermuda, Europe, Cuba, Canada & more, with the world's oceans as our stomping ground. Since 2015 our team has grown to include some of our best friends and like-minded sailors – AUGUST SANDBERG, EMMA GARSCHAGEN, RYAN FINSTAD, LEE CUMBERLAND & RYAN ELLISON – all working together to pursue our passions.

In 2020 we started THE QUARTERDECK, a unique-to-sailing online membership platform where we dive deep on the art of seamanship. Members have direct access to us, we have a growing resource library of onboard checklists, SOPs, logbooks and more, and we’ve moved all of our LIVE sessions onto the platform for members only.

Since 2013 we’ve published weekly podcasts on sailing, and now have three distinct shows — ON THE WIND, the main interview show hosted by Andy Schell, August Sandberg , Nikki Henderson & Emma Garschagen; THE QUARTERDECK PODCAST, a more technical, companion show to our online platform; and SAILING STORIES, a unique, serialized podcast showcasing ‘tales from the high seas, told week by week.’ All of our podcasts are free, and always will be — available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify or wherever you get your podcasts.

If you've dreamed of seeing STARS DOWN TO THE HORIZON, if you yearn to LOSE SIGHT OF LAND for days on end, if you want to UNPLUG from the world ashore and TRAVEL TO NEW LANDS at a human pace, then join us for the OFFSHORE SAILING ADVENTURE of a lifetime. We'll see you on the high seas. HOLD FAST!

Episode 386 : Season 12 : Sailing Australia

Hello Friends,
On this episode we haul up the anchor in 30 knot gusts and sail off into a squally day. We had fantastic sailing wind and the air was warm so the rain didn't bother us much. This turned out to be one of our favorite sailing days of the year! Soon we were approaching Middle Percy Island and got the hook dropped at West Bay.

I had read about Middle Percy Island in the book "Around the World in Wanderer III" by Eric Hiscock from their visit here in 1955. I was eager to see if the old telephone booth from the book was still onsite. We had also heard about the famous Percy Island Yacht Club, which is a simple A-frame structure and were interested to see all of the signs and mementos from cruisers who have visited over the years. We had prepared our own plaque to leave with the collection, a fun nautical tradition amongst cruising sailors the world over.

#sailingaustralia #percyisland #alberg30 #queensland

Hello Friends,

This is the long format episode that chronicles my 32 day, 2300 nm passage from Los Angeles to Honolulu onboard my 1965 Alberg 30 sailboat SV TRITEIA.

1000 miles from Hawaii my rudder failed due to striking a submerged object (that was painted red). After failed attempts to secure the control lines to the rudder due to large seas and high winds I was forced to steer with a small "Sea Squid" drogue for 18 days.

Triteia is equipped with a vintage Sailomat Aux Rudder wind vane which helped a great deal but was far undersized compared to the large rudder attached to Triteia’s full keel. The Windvane started to fail internally soon after the rudder failure. I was able to make a makeshift tiller handle that allowed me to turn the boat to get it back on course but the self steering started popping out of gear and stopped working completely while I crossed the channel between Molokai and Oahu forcing me to sit on the transom and hand steer for the last 6 hours of this intense passage.

If you would like to read the twice + daily blog posts I made during the crossing you can find those here: https://forecast.predictwind.c....om/tracking/display/

(update: Rudder Repaired May 2022 - https://youtube.com/playlist?l....ist=PLm0chdAnUTpx5UR )

MY SHORE TEAM!
A much needed shout out to my amazing Shore Team for this passage!

Some of you signed up by accidentally being related to me and the rest of you accidentally signed up because I love you, value your opinion and had your phone numbers.

David Frederick: My big brother and Executive Director of US Cyber Command for the NSA. David kept me safe with twice daily ship reports, checking on my mental health and used his army training to advise me about operating under fatigue and high stress.

Colby Thorp: My baby brother, a US marine and a padi certified search and rescue diver. Colby managed all of my accounts while I was away including the SOS email and secured a trailer for Triteia’s return trip. Thanks to his girlfriend Ashley for her help as well!

Sarah Koenig: A singer / Songwriter and One of my closet friends for the last 18 years. Sarah was only a message away with any questions I had, Google searches daily and kept my spirits up sharing all of the nice comments on Instagram and YouTube. She also looked into general delivery to Hawaii and called ahead to the Harbor Master in Oahu to confirm details for me.

Captain David Stovall: 200-Ton Masters Near Costal License Holder, Screen writer and a Texan so we are likely kinfolk. Stovall keep me updated with ships if I had questions while my brother was at work. He helped me work out the drogue steering and called BoatUS trying to get me a tow into port.

Captain Noah Peffer: 50-Ton Masters Near Costal License Holder, Professor of Nautical Sciences, Artist and dear friend. I hold Noah’s opinion as gospel and he has saved my ass on the last two passages. He is the one I bug when I am terrified.

I also want to thank my little brother Scott for checking on me, My oldest friend (since 3rd grade) Chance everything and My Buddy Dane for always being there.

I can never repay you guys and I don’t know what I would have done without you all!

Forever in your debt !
