All the hard work will be worth - you will be living your dream before you know it :)

Tin Can Bay is great, we have just recently been talking about sailing Soraya that way actually. We are back on the hamster wheel of living on land these day’s… planning the next adventure… the sailing life can quickly become an additive! Hope you enjoy every moment as much as we have ❤️

Thanks Heidi! No we didn’t, but when we were there they were in a transition phase for becoming an adult only resort.. so it may have changed since.

Thank you Barney Scott :)

Wow what a lovely thing to read. Thank you so much ❤️ it really made our hearts smile. Our time on Soraya definitely changed perspective for our family’s life.. they say nothing in life is certain, but I am certain we well be back on the water again.. thanks Lawrence! 😍

Thanks so much for watching and the lovely comment Kenny ❤️

Thanks Frank! Whitsundays are definitely very special in our eyes ❤️

Hi Rick, thanks for the message! Soraya had a red stripe at one stage, but but not a red hull. I understand a boat builder in QLD purchased the moulds around the late 90’s/ 2000’s and made a handful (I know of at least 3) of these little gems - all crafted with the same interior :) . Hope you were successful and found your dream boat in the end!

Hi! Thanks so much for watching. Your daughter is very lucky, Soraya is such a beautiful name, we love it 😍 Good luck with your yacht search.. what an great adventure you have planned!

They really were!

Thanks so much for the compliment Drew. I know we have been a bit slow in posting new videos.. thanks for sticking with us! :)

Thanks Salty Sings! We really enjoy following your continuing adventures! Hope to meet up again someday down the track!

Thanks so much for watching Gerard! Obviously we are biased, but while Soraya may be small, we think she is a Beauty too :)

Thanks guys! Tell Vinni we would all love that! Hope you are all well ❤️

Hi Cal, yes on this occasion we did, we have stayed there a couple of times. We have also anchored just outside too for short provisioning visits :)

Thanks so much Lawrence for the lovely comment… and there is definitely more to come! ❤️

Thanks so much Andrew. When we woke up to a glass off and a sunny day we took advantage to enjoy of every minute out there - it was so colourful :)

Thank you so much! ❤️❤️❤️

Sorry Jake, we had a little hiatus from TH-cam at the end of last year. I just posted a new video up this morning if you would like to check it out. Thanks so much for the really nice comment!

Haha thanks guys… your adventures were a source of both entertainment and inspiration for our little family to get out on the water ourselves. Hope you are having a blast out there.. I believe Mitcho may be hot on your heels in the coming months too :)

Hi Drew, sorry I fell a little behind with editing our footage.. I do hope to post another one soon. Thanks so much for following the adventure ❤️

Hi Shane, My wife and I enjoy your channel….we have a North shore 33 here on the Gippsland lakes and really hoping that we can sail to Cairns in the next few years…..keep up the good work and have fun with your great family…..cheers drew…

Hi Tammy & Shane,…. Your yacht is so well set up, you have given me ideas for mine….can’t wait to go……cheers 👍

Thanks Kevin… we are very fond of our little boat.. (and I don’t mind the sink either 😍)

Sorry for the delayed response guys- we had a break from TH-cam. We sailed Soraya south in time for the cyclone season- but plenty of others choose to stay. It is possible to cruise there all year around. We have actually chartered a yacht there during the cyclone season in the past and it was awesome 😎

Hi Paul, sorry we took a break from TH-cam! Of course we remember- some very nice waves were shared! We know a few people that headed to Tassie for the summer- it’s made us consider doing it ourselves. Hope you’re enjoying every second!

Thanks B Role Sailor! You will love it! Best thing we have ever done!

Thanks Dreamtime Crew!

PS. Ive just been watching one of your recent videos (Season 2, ep54). Thanks for sharing the fishing tips! Really interesting info about using an anchor buoy too!

Thanks Peter! This is our first S&S and we do love her.. you can probably see our interior is a little different.. it polarises opinion :)… it has grown on me though :)

@@sailingsoraya My wife and I are looking for a 30ft (ish) size boat, this certainly is an option.

Hi Mal! A bareboat would have been great too, but our reunion wasn’t planned far enough in advance for that :) I just watched your video. Looks like you had great conditions and visited some awesome spots! I didn’t know there was a lookout at Langford!.. something for next time, thanks for sharing :)

Thanks very much Will :)

Hi Artys, we are originally from WA, so we do know how lucky we really are :)

@@sailingsoraya my wife and I are planning to do something similar to the cruising your doing now. Can't wait. Also, great footage and channel. Thanks for posting

Thanks Artys, it definitely the best thing we have ever done.. very excited to hear you are about to embark on a similar adventure. Hope you post some videos so we can follow too! ❤️

Thanks so much for the support guys! Hope you are having a great time wherever you are right now :)

@@sailingsoraya we've just reached the Whitsundays on our way to Townsville to sit out the Cyclone Season. Where are you guys?

Awesome Dreamtime, I’ve sent you a FB message :)

@@sailingsoraya and we've replied. Cheers!

Hi Hamster Brian! Thanks very much for watching!

Thanks Yoram.. She was certainly made by someone who loved their craft and we are quite proud to have her :)

Thanks Jon! I must admit it is a pretty nice time of year to be in Queensland right now…I can’t imagine minus 20! It sounds like you have an exciting adventure ahead though! I have no doubt sailing in your part of the world has some absolutely incredible scenery to explore. Wish you all the best!

Hi Sam and Rene, thanks so much. We just found your TH-cam channel and are really enjoying it. Fair winds!

@@sailingsoraya thank you our sailboat is 31ft and no where near the space yours at 30ft has! What an incredible design, we fell off our seats when we heard 700 Litres of water!!! What?? Where???

Thanks Tracie! Yes Aoife is certainly growing up fast..for better or worse she is becoming more and more interested in helping us sail Soraya these days too! :) Thanks for watching ox

Thanks Cal! It appears to have divided opinions.. :) but it's been a great topic of conversation and source of some fun jokes along the way.

Thanks very much for joining us Graeme!

Hi Ralph, that's quite a compliment! Thanks very much for your message and following the adventure with us :)
