Why we're taking a break from sailing... - Episode 61

- As beginner sailors in our first year of cruising we've tried our best to avoid marina's for the sake of savings. This comes with sacrifice - many a night of lost sleep in roley anchorages; taking the extra time to do trips back in forth in the tender with water, fuel and provisions and doing boat work and maintenance on anchor. This week however, we're treating ourselves to the luxury of a marina! We're heading back down south for a heartwarming reunion with our families and to attend our best friends wedding as bridesmaid and groomsman.
We can't express our gratitude enough to Mike Harris from Magnetic Island Marina who found a safe berth for our floating home as we leave her for the first time. This trip would not have been possible had it not been for the peace of mind that Innerbloom would be cared for - so many, MANY thanks to Mike!
We hope you enjoy this week's episode as we shake it up a little and take a break from sailing after 8 months without a night off the boat!

You have some of the most romantic videos I've seen, and not to mention your a sailing channel. So glad to have found you. Thanks.
You two have truly embraced the minimalistic lifestyle that most people only dream of, sacrificing the comfort of family, friends, and established careers to live fully on the water. It’s not easy, and I know it hasn’t always been simple, but through the challenges of boat life, you’ve only strengthened your connection as a couple. Whether managing resources, navigating rough seas, or adapting to life's constant changes on the water, every challenge has brought you closer. You’re not just surviving together you’re thriving, finding strength in each other and the shared adventure. The freedom you’ve gained is priceless, but it’s the deep bond you’ve built along the truly remarkable way, and that's evident in your vlogs. Keep embracing this journey together, and keep living your dream.
Hey mate, they are beautiful words that resonate with us. It isn’t always easy but it’s the life we have chosen whole heartedly. Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts in this comment. It’s really awesome to read. Going to pin this one! Cheers mate, Josh
Awesome guys, happy to help and completely forgot old mate ran into your ladder 🤣Hope all is well and see you next time 🤟
Phoebe, your writing/narration is exceptional. The three of you are a pleasure to watch as you grow and mature on and off Innerbloom. Thanks for sharing your honesty and integrity with the rest of us. Best to Josh.
"The most expensive way to travel for free" best quote Phoebe! Your production and content has improved exponentially. Fantastic episode.
Phoebe, Josh, you two need to meet up with SV Delos, the GOATs of sailing, they are in Brisbane for the next 12+ months. They are building their new boat, Delos 2.0, with Stradbroke Yachts. Brian and Karin are a wealth of sailing knowledge. You will love them
Best music score of all sailing videos!
Well thank you kindly! We appreciate that so very much. Cheers mate!
Josh
Good stuff. I've heard other sailors say that after a week or two on land they miss the life they've chosen on their boat. Long long trip Pheobe, and a wonderful smile and the joy of seeing Josh was very cool. Pheobe, the brightest smile on the seven seas. Stay safe. ❤🙏
Hey Steve you definitely take the cake with compliment of the week! ‘Phoebe, the brightest smile on the seven seas’ I love it mate! Cheers
Josh
W0W! Soo this is what true LOVE looks like!! I must say it looks beautiful on the two of you. Thanx for sharing the adventures with us!!
Hey guys, plenty of retired folk who would be happy to boat sit for you guys … keep in mind!!
The boat is looking great and you are certainly a great skipper and first mate in just making sure things are 100%
Such a beautiful place to leave the boat. Glad you got to see family and friends to soothe the soul.
Epic as usual my friends .
Remember we are in cyclone season now until March next year .
Don't leave your run home too late .
Love from Bowen .
Yes I love watching your videos keep up the good work john
Hey John so stoked you liked it thanks heaps for the comment letting us know!
Josh
Enjoyed the video/episode! Videography, sound, editing, content were all fantastic!
Awesome Dan thanks for the comment letting us know we appreciate your kind words!
Josh
the story telling in the intro was really great - nice video!
I guess even people whose lives seem to be something of a vacation, need a vacation. :)
It does sound odd, but in reality it’s true. Maybe in the future we will have enough space for friends and family to visit us on the boat comfortably, but until then a break is always a good reset! Cheers
Josh
Great vid guys 👍 keep at it, your skills are improving constantly and congrats on finally landing a fish, curry goes with everything 👍
Hey mate! Yahoo! Thanks for the love, we are so stoked. Cheers
Josh

Hey Colin thanks for your words of support! Cheers- Josh

Great episode
Thanks! Glad you liked it

Yo my bro laser pro are the go I’ve found the 6+ action get too wild over 4.5 knots it’s my slow sailing choice then swap to 2 m laser when the wind picks up. I’m using 70lb sneider mono with 100 lb leader on a similar outfit to yours. Braid may help the deep diver? The line can be pain to manage can’t lift the bail arm or it goes every where!😂I use the drag to let the lure out then tighten right up can skull drag Big Spanish this way even though I only have 100 m line capacity I just prefer mono for trolling more stretch more forgiving. When this sailer can afford I would love a decent overhead reel 🎉I do upgrade the trebles I haven’t tried the singles hook ups lol
Cheers Guys see you out there!
Thanks
Hey guys! What brand is your little 12V dehumidifier? We had one on the boat in north QLD but was so bulky and always on the way 😂 (we are on a 35ft too).
Does it need a vent for the hot air to go out? And did you plumb it into the bilge or does the condensed water go into a little tank in the unit?
Cheers! Hopefully see you next year along the east coast!

Hey you two Nana Bern here sans Luna ... hahaha... i've had practically nil wifi ... internet i shite here where I am... just tried to get on to send a couple of emails and slipped into youtube to see if I could watch anything and saw your vid come up... have a wonderful time at the wedding ! and keep having fun... btw I lived in Townsville twice as a young girl growing up and knew Magnetic Is well ... that was in the 50s and 60s... well before the hectic lifestyle up there nowadays... anyway... I'll see Luna in a couple weeks so will let her know I watched another vid without her... much love Nana Bern xx PS I read NEVER by Ken Follett just a month or so ago. !!! Great read...
Awesome you got to check it out Bern! You were our first comment on the video :)
Maggy would have been pretty wild in the 50s and 60s I imagine. We just caught up with Rob last night at his new restaurant. So stoked! Glad you got some Ken! I can’t get enough 😆

TROLLING not Trawling ! Unless you have some giant nets.....
sounds like a business opportunity, or service trade situation, where you hire someone who has certification or license to baby sit / live on your boat while you are away? or simply offer a licensed sitter a place to live for x amount of days while you are off on adventure? Hmmmm.... says he...
Hey mate, yes this sounds possible. Probably much better suited to production boats that don’t have endless amounts of fiddly little systems that need to be taught and are delicate. House sitting is one thing but a boat that can float away, sink, burn down or be broken from simple mistakes worries me too much 😅
Cheers, Josh
@@Thenewkidsonthedock Understood... just wanted to share an idea with you... float on!
They’re taken a break. 🙄
They don’t like to wear clothes. 🙄
