Been a while since we’ve posted here but we’re still floating, making miles and living simply upon the water.

On October 29th we sailed into Bundaberg on Australia’s east coast and cleared into the country. This was the end of our pacific crossing, which had started in Costa Rica a year earlier.

Cruising Australia’s east coast these past weeks has reminded us to what makes sailing here so special. It’s the wonderful anchorages, which there are plenty of and the short costal distances that make doing day passages up and down the east coast easy and fun.

If you have a boat that sails well travelling this coast doesn’t get any better! The protection from the reef. The wonderful people, spectacular and abundant nature, great weather and plentiful safe anchorages make cruising here some of the best you’ll find anywhere on the planet.

Over the past eight days Spirit sailed another 800nm and for some reason we feel that this is just the beginning of her ⛵️ adventures as she continues to sail around the world 🌎

Since departing Costa Rica Spirit has sailed over 10,000nm which have taken 1297hrs or 54days to complete at an average speed of 7.7kts.

Now that is what I call Proof of Boat! ⛵️

Was just thinking about you and hoping you were okay.

Thanks 🙏 we’ve been going great just consumed with the normalities that come from being in populated areas 😁

Welcome to Australia. Are you coming north?

Yeah in winter we’ll sail north but after clearing in we did an overnighter up to the Whitsundays where we spent four days before sailing south again to Brisbane. Where abouts are you??

I'm in Townsville, but often get up to near Mission Beach

Nice if we’re ever in the same area please come say hi!

Definitely. Would love to.
