- We're off. A new playlist..a new partner and new adventures to enjoy. Come along for the trip.
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.

Good to see you have companionship on board again.
Yeah dude. Always great to share it with someone.
Monica is lots of fun.
Well done, mate, another great video - stay safe
Thanks Dude.
You da man Norm!
Thanks Dude.
Great work Norm. Looking forward to you traveling further North.
Me too dude.
Hey Norm, nice video as usual, sea looked a little sloppy to DIP
It was a tad...but from astern. All good and Monica handled it well.
morning Norm, great to see you back and that you have a new crew!
Thanks Richard. Great to have Mon aboard. She's learning lots and we're having a great time.
Zulu waterways is great. Enjoying the virtual ride along on your journey. All the best mate.
Thanks dude.
Always great viewing and Norm your life is certainly one of adventure away from land.
How do you manage to get your crew ? You always put a smile on my dial with the ongoing adventures and balancing cruising, anchoring, cooking and ‘coffee’ stops!
Enjoy mate!
Just met Mon at cofffeeee shop, while on hard. Great to have her aboard. She's lots of fun.
It might have changed by the time you get to the Cap. Coast but its been as rough as guts here for awhile .
Yeah, weather has been a bit strange this year. Hope it's starting to change now.
Thanks norm
As you said a long day. Would you suggest a stop over in Mooloolaba or is that too far from the Wide Bay Bar? Weather and tides permitting.
Yep Mooloolaba is OK to shorten trip. Only problem is, it's a bit hard to get a berth in the marina and the duck pond can be crowded.
I'll probably visit when heading south.
Good to see studliness doesn't end with greying hair. Must be the promise of salt air. Aaarrrrr me hearties.
Arrrrrrr indeed Dude.
Hi Norm
What kind or type of boat is that?
The hulls were moulded by Nustar. The rest was built by me dude.
How far north you reckon ya going to go… ?
Don't want to put a destination or a time frame on it Dude. But will probably travel further with Monica on board.
@@MotorSailingforOldDudes Cairns.. ?
@@theoffender3113 never know..maybe.
@MotorSailingforOldDudes well if ya get up here let me know.. I'll have a cold beer waiting for ya.. 🍻🇦🇺⛵️
What happend to Wamsi
Didn't want to do the boat life any more.
But I do Dude.
You do know it's illegal to interfere with a fishing apparatus
Yeah I do Dude. I only lifted it off the bottom and we drifted 20m from the boat.
It would help if the pots were marked with bigger brighter buoys.
Then I wouldn't have anchored near it.
Piss poor reply norm, pot was there first ? ....would have been easier to move not drop ya tender .....content over common sense eh
Few exhibit the professional seamanship skills and etiquette as Norm so perhaps consider that in balance if you are able. Other half here.
@@bjreynolds24 you’re lucky Norm even provided a response…..try a bigger and more popular channel and see where those comments get you.
Try keeping a civil tongue in your mouth or consider that if you wouldn’t share your opinions to someone face to face, then don’t share those same opinions behind the anonymity of a keyboard.
If you’ve subscribed to this channel, is it not due to your appreciation of Norms fine seamanship?
Only if you get caught
Norm , i can't remember the brand of tender you have . Looks like its a beauty. Can you help me out on name?
Monica doing great , obviously loving it . Well done folks.
