Final Episode – Homecoming
Homecoming. There’s really nothing quite like it. Particularly when you’ve worked so hard to get there. The simplicity of familiarity. Of Family. Of Belonging. A cultural connection to something bigger than one’s self. The moment I saw land, saw Australia, after sailing 4000Nm is one I’ll never forget. After 37 days at sea I had […]
Episode Six – Papua New Guinea
Land ahoy, vivid greens, “fish on” and entering the Coral Sea. The penultimate video in my journey home.
Episode Five – Crossing the Equator
One last squall, entering the southern hemisphere, welcomed by dolphins and the deepest blue seas and skies in the doldrums.
Episode Four – Relentless Squalls
Unforgiving squalls. Fatigue sets in. Disaster Strikes. The northern latitude monsoon takes its toll. Episode Four is now live (language warning).

Episode Two – Pacific Dreams

Epilogue (and photos)
“Heart” and “Disease” are two words you don’t want to see together. They certainly don’t look good sitting side by side on the screen in front of me as I type this. And I can assure you it doesn’t feel pleasant when it’s happening inside your chest. Within 24 hours of arriving in Cairns, I […]
Day 36 and 37 – Cursum Perficio – We made it!
How do I put into words what it feels like to be home? To be safe. To have finished my journey. When I sighted land yesterday, I was overcome with emotion. I was about 50Nm away so didn’t expect to see land that far out. Turns out Cairns has some of the highest mountains in […]
T minus 1
There’s something so satisfying working with your hands. Its task-based work with a clear start and endpoint and immediate feedback on whether you did it well or not. The sense of satisfaction one feels at the end of a day after working on the tools is nothing like working at a desk. Getting home and […]
