    Sailors to me always appear to be the nicest people. I guess its the lifestyle, perspective on life and always looking out for each other. What a great way to see Australia, almost makes me want to learn sailing. Safe travels!

      You say that until you actually do it. It is like anywhere, there are nice people, people that just want to be left alone, and people that you wish you did not have to interact with.

    "Sail north to the warmth" sound funny to someone from the Northern Hemisphere.

As that trip neared its completion, with one outstanding episode, after the next,as thrilled as I was with dash to make it home, I feared that would be the end of this fabulous story for those of us out in utube land, alas like most things I find to worry on,I need not have bothered.

    I don't know a thing about sailing but I watched the entire video because it was so well done. The flow of it was so natural, great editing, very clever. At one point when you were adjusting sails and she was filming from within it hit me how well this production was. I probably won't subscribe I just wanted to pass that along, I reallly enjoyed this. Best of luck from Louisiana in the U. S.

    Found that freezing the grains/rice/pasta overnight solved the problem...
    On my Top Hat 25' there's only an electric esky so when I go to the supermarket I stash my bags of grains under the bags of frozen peas and return the next day to buy the grain....

      Farm windmills have adjustable tailfins that can re-align the blades to the side, thus having a similar effect to feathering. I'm surprised yacht wind generators don’t have this useful option.

    "The engine suddenly went up in revs, but we weren't going forward" - whilst tractor driving, I once had the opposite experience. I was using a rotovator to chop straw stubble into the soil of a wheat-field after it had been harvested, and in one or two places there was quite a bit of straw lying about. When the tractor went over thick loose straw, it would lose its grip on the ground; but the rotavator would dig in, and therefore propel everything forward, acting like an outboard motor. The engine note would drop, from the extra load on the rotavator, but the speed would dramatically increase, whilst the big tractor-wheels would be seen to be turning backwards. Very confusing, but at least I didn't have to worry about waves or sinking, so I won't swap places. Fair winds, you two.
