- Yes. Not so long ago I was that guy on the bus to work.. standing in queues.. being herded through gates and turnstiles only to be deep underground in an office cubicle without windows. All the while - dreaming of the open ocean and far off beaches with palm trees and coconuts.
That's true, but it's also not the full story, as the other part of my job was a dream gig. I travelled the world as a foreign correspondent for Australia's largest TV network - reporting on current events and I loved it.
But it was a lot of time away from family, and instead of telling other people's stories, I wanted to live my own.
This episode is about how that happened.
Enjoy.
As someone who dreams to be a journalist and correspondent telling stories, I think this was a brave and excellent decision. Family is forever and you only get one shot. God bless you!
Good on you Denham… you did an amazing job! You are missed from TV but now we can all watch your travels. Hope your health is okay now , so glad you are spending time with your family and enjoying the beautiful nature our dear maker has given you to see. Safe travels !
Thanks very much. Having a crack....!
I really admire that you followed your heart. Good on you Denham!
Thanks Rebecca ! We will run this out as long as we can!
Well done mate, so easy to under estimate how difficult a life change is, especially with a family, followed your work for many years and always appreciated what you did in the media. Enjoying following you on this adventure more !
thanks very much Simon. glad you're enjoying it. Let us know what you'd like to see more of...
As a yachtie and Aussie, always appreciated your work on TV, always watched your stories with enthusiasm due to your stoic manner and always ( seemingly) digging deeper. Now i really wait with enthusiasm, best of both worlds. Great presentation,delivery and production and about sailing. 👌👍
Cheers, fair winds and half your luck.
Thanks very much Andy. I'll still do some work here and there - but I'll try and stretch out this magical period of sailing and surfing as long as possible! As you know the ocean is a beguiling woman and she lures you out constantly...
Great to see you guys living the dream. You could actually see how you relaxed and chilled out as the video progressed. Well done, enjoy this incredible life with your family.
Thanks very much Nusa crew! We love your video's also. Not sure how long we can make this last but we will give it a red hot go.
Hey Denham! Good to see some of my flying equipment in your video lol.
We have a Kelly Peterson 46 and our Sailing South to her room. Of course surfing is what it's all about! Lol take care look forward to more videos.
Black Hawk team!! Hello there guys. Yeah I loved that little machine. Had it sitting in my lounge room between flights ! But now a married man with a boat to maintain she had to go! Good luck with your sail. A KP46 is a nice boat yew
One of my favourite sailing channels…
Thanks brother! Let us know if there's anything else you'd like to see...
Your a lucky man, beautiful little family and onboard with the lifestyle.
Doing the same thing ourselves end of 24 kids out of school for 2 years and sailing home from the Caribbean.
If I see you out there I’ll say hi🤙
Fantastic! What a trip that will be. How old are the kids ?and what's your insta so we can follow...
Good on you mate, I’d love to do what you are doing, but slave to the mortgage. We are Gold Coast based, will have to be content with camping trips!
Good on you Denham. You are far too good for Australian media.
Most people wait till they are way too old to realise there is so much more to life than work work work.
That's true. No one ever comes to the end and wishes they spent more time in the office. I will still work on the projects I really believe in, but at least for the time being - not full time and certainly not around the clock..
Outstanding. Life is for living. Welcome to the fulltime cruisers club.
Great move ! One of the least of the real ones
Congratulations...what a ride you've had as a journalist and correspondent abroad...I am not Australian, so I'm not familiar with your work but I can imagine comparing it to the that work in journalism elsewhere...must of been fascinating and at times a sacrifice too...VERY VERY impressive indeed with all your years of travelling and commitment...BEST of whishes on this new chapter in life for you and your family for many many years to come!!!!
Thankyou very much for your comments and for watching. Where are you based?
Thank you for your interest...I live in the South coast of Spain...what they call "La Costa del Sol" 20 min West from Málaga...I am 1/2 Italian and 1/2 Portuguese...you must love your family very much to step down for such and impressive carrier...congratulations to you both...I shall be following your adventures and life stile which always brings me joy since your very first video...all the best!!!!@@SailingSVRio
big call but wish you the best
Good move , the main stream media has lost all credibility over the last few years
💯
🤘🏻😎
I see a lot of Wayne kerr action ahead.
hope you do the freelance stuff as you did put a good show on
thanks Geoff. I'll do some in the future for sure. and thanks
The video had 0 sailing and Devind with his shirt off. Those are the takeaways. Pretty vain.
True this is a sailing channel, but if you quit your job to go sailing - that also falls into that category right? If sailing is what you're after - try the Sailing to Fiji video's. There's three of them.
One of the great hunks and reporters of all time giving up fame and fortune to pursue his passions: lazy bum!!!
Ha ha. The lazy bum part sounds like the advice I got from my family!
