Nearly there!

Well it's been pretty hard work so far and Mirrool is just 130 miles from port. There has been a pretty consistent high pressure system in the south of Australia without let-up so we have been enjoying 'fresh' headwinds the whole time. The gunwales are starting to grow algae on them from the constant submersion! 

We have limited internet here and can't upload an episode just yet but we will be in Cairns around the 10-12th of June and will have a few in the bag for you guys and will be responding to questions and comments then. Welcome to our new Patrons and sorry we haven't been able to respond to you just yet- we will!

All the best for you and yours,

Troy & Pascale.

Thanks for the update both, I'm looking forward to your next Vlog, I've been having to catch up with the other Sailors that I follow and was wondering how long it would be before you were in a position to upload again! It's not as if you have been just laying there sunning yourselves on a beach and pretending now is it? Or is it?

Haha we wish! The spots of internet we had on the way down was not enough to upload a 30min HD vid but we'll start getting then uploaded as soon as we got Cairns, we're excited for you to see them!
