- Mon heads home unfortunately, and I head back to GKI checking out a few Cyclone anchorages along the way.
We cruise extensively along the East Australian Coast on our 13 meter catamaran. Join us as we explore new cruising grounds, cross bars, fix all kinds of problems, ride out rough weather and live aboard for extended periods.
We even have a playlist that gets us on other peoples boats.
We hope that our videos encourage others to get on board and experience this fantastic lifestyle.

Thanks, Mon, for being a part of my journey. You're lovely soul.
Best wishes
👍🇭🇲🦘
Me 70yrs old. Single 4 10 yrs. I'm alone but not lonely. I'm happy in my own skin. Content with my lot in life.
I do enjoy watching you living the dream.
Thanks Dude
Good luck Norm, sorry to hear about Mon but life goes on. keep up the good work.
The sea can be a lonely place until you look out and see places like GKI coming into view ahead.
Yep...It's a great spot Dude.
You have inspired me to make a massive change in my life. Cant wait to get me own boat and start the next chapter in my life.
Hang in there champ. New doors are gonna open. Exciting times ahead. The unknown is never boring
Yep...guess so. All good.
G’day Norm , sorry to hear that news , all the best to Mon , love watching your show mate , I’m an Aussie retired to Thailand. Keep up your great work, all the best mate ,PS ,,, cherish your own company 🍺🍺👍👍
Thanks Dude
So sorry it didn’t work out - hopefully there is someone special out there for you. We look forward to pulling into a bay somewhere to find you anchored there to share a cuppa. Rod & Lillian (Sapphire of London)
Hi, we admired your yacht in Hope Harbour we we keep our Nauticat. A real beauty.
Nice work Norm ~ interesting reconnaissance ~ the camera clarity is perfect - ah the midges I worked in McKay back in the day took months to finally get immune - Thanks for taking us along Cheers
Wishing u the best Norm and u too Mon😊
Take up fishing, Good luck to Mon too in her endeavours
Thanks for the video Norm. I always enjoy them.
Hey Dude, sorry it didn't work out with Mon but everything happens for a reason. Your next adventure will be around the corner. Looking forward to seeing your vids, Dazzling Dazza 😊
No worries Daz. 👍
Hi Norm just watched your latest video, I’m so sorry to hear that Mon has left. Boating life is a passion and has to be shared by you and your partner equally. Best wishes to you for your future and also to Mon for future endeavours. Might see you out on the water again. Just out of interest what Marina were you at with the cyclone? We plan to leave our boat in the Mackay Marina during the “C” season we don’t like to mention the whole word. Which we have done before, hoping the new nib wall makes it that much safer for all boat owners in regard to swells and tidal surge. I’m sure you will find your person.
I was in Coral Sea for Ului.
Not much fun. Too many other boats to think about.
Mackay is probably pretty good. I think it has a cyclone rating and they just built a new sea wall at the entrance to stop swells getting in.
Fingers crossed we don't get too many of the C word this season.
Thanks for thoughts Dudes
Thanks norm bloody good show matey luv your work cheers now
Thanks for watching Dude.
Beach walk always makes life better.
Can't beat it.
Feel for you mate. How about a depth sounder on the dinghy for exploring?
Yep. Got one. It's called a lead line. I guess a more up to date model would be good..but lead lines rarely break down.
Dang, bad luck on the relationship Norm, keep up the good content buddy, onwards and upwards.
Thanks Dude. Great to get support from the YouToob family.
great vid norm , my cyclone plan used to be up coorooman creek at emu park right up behind the golf club . the other one is sea hill lighthouse creek that wa sa place many decades ago where we would put the coast guard boat up instead of being in the marina. luckily is was only a plan and never had to do it . I almost forgot but leaks creek on Keppel if you can beach your vessel
Yeah Dude. All good spots. Keeping a good eye out, being this far north this year.
Sorry about Mon mate, but great to catch up for a beer the other day. Can’t wait to have a decent catch up one day on the water 🤙🏼
Yep. All good mate.
See you on the new boat somewhere.
Sorry it didn’t work out for you guys mate, remember the good times and move on. Hopefully you’ll meet someone who shares your passion.
Hope so Dude.
Saw you bought a new drone, any chance of a video on it as to operation the good : bad and anything useful
Norm, why not take on a crew member for a couple/few days a month for whatever reasons (teaching, giving someone a lift, someone with experience that wants to see Aussie waters, etc.)? Of course, they would have to agree with being on camera/your channel. I think about you almost every day…hang in there! ONWARD and UPWARD! All of us have enjoyed getting to know you, we care about you and guess what all of us know? There is absolutely another woman in your future. 100%! We all know it and you’ll experience it soon enough. Until then, if you feel a bit down, put on something funny and LAUGH. Laughter IS the best medicine for an aching heart. PS - I loved seeing you swim! Get down on it! Whooo Hooo!
Yep. It's a thought. All good here. Can't be down for too long when you can walk on a great beach.
Thanks for caring. It helps knowing you guys are out there. You're all a bit like family.
Someone will come along, but all fantastic.
Sorry to hear about the end of your relationship with Mon we enjoyed her interactions on videos…. Sorry for you both. Thanks for vid.
All good. We had some fun 😁
Ohhh I’m sorry it didn’t work out for you Norm …
I use to love exploring creeks and inlets back when my boat was in the water, you're living my retirement!! 😁
Good onya mate. I'm lovin it.
What is the brand is your dinghy?
It's called a Fusion. No web site yet though. I can provide a phone number.
My old tub won't fit up the narrows… I drew 1.8m.
We draw 1.8 only go on super high tide scary though
Is it me or does the audio keep dropping out ?
Think it may be you.
Oh come on, gives us the gos 😮😊
Nup. All fun stuff on this channel Dude.
Norm , Norm , Norm….. what is going on …. On and off like a brides nightie mate 😂😂😂
You need backpackers - one a month 🎉🎉
Can’t live with them and can’t live without them - 😢 stay with the solo travel mate - a lot less emotional!
