Small Boat Sailing Downwind, Dining with Dragons and Other Deadly Things - Episode 113

Join us this week as we say goodbye to the Clarence and continue our journey southwards to Port Macquarie. We make such good speed that we have to slow the boat down approaching the bar so that we can arrive on a favorable tide! 

Several days of strong winds have us exploring the sites of Port Macquarie and getting to know a few of the local critters before we can set sail again on favorable conditions. 

Wishing you and your families the most amazing Christmas! We are currently in Jervis Bay and looking forward to catching up with some of Troy's family here before we continue sailing to TASMANIA.

As we said in the video, thank you so so much for your continued support of our productions. We look forward to bringing you all lots more amazing videos next year. 

Best wishes

Troy and Pascale

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year both of you, Jervis Bay, what, the same Jervis Bay that holds Life on the Hulls YT Channel? and are you visiting Ross Boardman on the Hull of his 40ft Catamaran that He's building from scratch then? Hope so, I'd like some video of Troy's opinion of the build so far!

Troy and Pascale 路 December 21, 2019

Oh? No we aren't visiting Ross, rather we have family here right now and are leaving on the northerlies for Tassie tomorrow. Building from scratch? Well I would take my hat off to him and tell him to only do half the job;)

TY folks, and may the new year bring you both happy times and grand adventures. We'll keep up with you as you go. Excellent video today, with wonderful bird watching bits. I thought you said migration from Siberia, and that made me think, Wow. That's a long flight.
