Noice! Very Noice! It's been a bumper Whale season. So awesome to marvel at nature. Thanks for stopping in at Forster and showing off our lovely spot. Bon Voyage.
Just found you guys 👏👏👏. Can you give me an idea of how long it took between each port? Sydney to Newcastle etc. and did you stop at any other locations e route that don’t get a mention in your video No one seems to tell us those sort of details and it would be really handy for planning a trip Cheers
Hey Peter! Sydney up to Brisbane we did in day trips. So Sydney>Newcastle>Port Stephens>Forster>Port Macquarie>Coffs Harbour>Yamba>Ballina>Southport>Brisbane. All depends on weather though! But they are great little spots to stop if you are just looking to sail during the day! We averaged about 5-7knots so if you have boat thats capable of moving faster you'll have no problem at all!
Pretty much the same as you would on land! Just needs power to operate (and it doesn’t draw that much either!). Just needs line of sight to the sky to see the satellites. We have the roaming version and although it’s meant to be used only on land, we’ve had no problem whilst cruising off the coast! The dish sits on a pole at the back of the boat
oh bo... seasickness is horrible, i have seen many over the years. fortunately, I have only very mild effects at sea and I have been sailing for a few decades and at least half the globe. The best two remedies are: GINGER and eating PICKLES.. the latter works even if you are already sick. My wife is very prone to get seasick of issues with and she was eating very different from me. I notice that when I go fro my diet, it effects me at sea. and given we live on board, are always at sea... Here's my five cent: They say do not take coffee... yet I live on it. I asked my wife (who is Asian and did not eat western food , di d not drink coffee etc at all), to try how my food worked for her, and in her case the effect was helping. Then what do I eat? I drink a lot of strong coffee I have no issue taking 15 large cups, but now try to limit at 6-8 a day (don't go crazy on that straight away) I do not use alcohol. Except for the few occasions when we are in a marine for longer period. But you hardly find me at the bar. Never been drunk and keep it that way. I eat raw stuff, a lot of smoked salmon, blue berries, raw fresh sausages (not cooked, but really fresh only), fried chicken, some potatoes/french fries a ton of veggie, not high in carbs ever. I do force myself to drink something else but coffee, like water and milk a glass of green tea daily, Thats like 1.5 litre a day, quite a lot of drinks on total. but: No soda, no sweets, no cookies, the odd can of beer (mostly without alcohol). Tomatoes and garlic are on every meal if possible. Atjar, pickles etc regularly Limited fruit/fruit juice as it has too much sugars. And thats it. I like to cook hence I hardly eat elsewhere prepared food. Try to eat it as fresh and pure as possible, just because i like it. I taste everything, but my diet is pretty stable, when I add its, fresh dutch hering (which we dont have in indonesia) lobster tail, a good beefsteak and things like that, not a mc D or pre-cooked instant supermarket meals (those micro-oven things). And that in a nutshell for me helped to never get seasick. Now my wife tried this, and found herself a lot better resistant to seasickness every time she eats like this as well. Now Asians haven't eaten if there wasn't rice on the table hence she goes back and forth. at anchor or in marina she goes asian quite a bit We notice that a vitamin B rich meal the day before a trip, and drinking ginger tea, or adding both help to make things better. This works better than most travel medication, although some are actually made from ginger. I hope this helps, happy sailing
Thanks for the advice! Probably didn't help that we went out for drinks the night before for Chloe's birthday! Won't be doing that again the night before a big sail!
Those sunrises and sunsets when you're on the water are bloody incredible!
We couldn't agree more! Coldest parts of the day but worth it for the colours!
Noice! Very Noice!

I have heard of a remedy. Taping your 2nd and 3rd toes together on each foot. Said to work on pressure points. Not tried it as we have a catamaran!😅
Thanks! We will have to keep that one in mind 😂
How do you set it up in the yacht - starlink ?
Pretty much the same as you would on land!

How does starlink work
It's satellite Internet. Costs for equipment and monthly subscription but works pretty much anywhere on the planet.
