Nhulunbuy to Seisia, Gulf of Carpentaria – October 2024 On the 6th October we departed Nhulunbuy, with the forecasts alluding to a potential let-up in the force of the wind funnelling through the Torres Strait. Revisiting our ship’s logbook eight months on, neither Angus nor I can believe that our crossing of the Gulf ofContinue reading “Nhulunbuy to the East Coast October 2024”

Back To Darwin and Onwards
September 2024, Back to Darwin, and back to the drawing board. With a poorly relative in Europe, we decided it was not the time to disappear into the depths of Asia, with long passages of isolation away from international airports. And as much as we enjoyed Darwin, staying was not an option as cyclone seasonContinue reading “Back To Darwin and Onwards”
Darwin and Indonesia August 2024
Horn Island – Darwin, August 2024 The 750 nautical miles passage from Horn Island to Darwin, crossing the super shallow Gulf of Carpentaria, ranked as one of our most unpleasant, with a hideously confused sea state making life aboard fairly miserable. Sailing mostly dead downwind, we covered the distance in 5 days, with a veryContinue reading “Darwin and Indonesia August 2024”
Australia June -July 2024
Given our prolonged radio silence, you might be forgiven for thinking that Mowzer and her crew had sailed off the end of the Earth. In truth, we’ve just been a bit crap at writing updates, plus, we’ve been busy quietly putting in the nautical miles, schooling, fixing (always fixing…), and exploring new shores. June 2024Continue reading “Australia June -July 2024”

Reluctantly we ran our last Greenway Parkrun, had our final Running Science session, and did a last Goddess training camp. The boys had their final swimmingContinue reading “Sydney April – May 2024”
Fulaga – Lau Group – Fiji – September 2023
In our two + years of exploring many of the most spectacular corners of the globe, we have been privileged to witness much spectacular beauty and to meet some inspiring individuals and communities. However, our next stop in Fulaga was to surpass anywhere we had visited previously. Very much off the beaten track, with noContinue reading “Fulaga – Lau Group – Fiji – September 2023”
Porto Santo
Portimao – Porto Santo – A further 460nm of Atlantic Ocean passed under the keel, representing the boys’ longest passage to date. Conditions on day one were a bit lumpy, but the sea state eased and we spent much of our final 48hrs flying our gennaker in a gentle, downwind breeze. Porto Santo is aContinue reading “Porto Santo”
