Late October, early November 2014 saw us join the great southern sailing migration to escape the risk of cyclone season in tropical Qld waters. It was like a race, with all the boats lined up and waiting for the first decent northerly winds to commence an exodus. In all our many colours, shapes and sizes, we began to run away…
Well the last few months have seen us exploring the islands between Great Keppell and the Whitsundays. Most of this area has had limited or reception, which is why it has taken so long for this blog to appear. And now so much time has passed, I have to try and figure out the highlights…
Sailing north of Bundaberg is a journey into new horizons for both Jase and I. Whilst Jason had previously sailed to Lady Musgrave Island on Evelyn Annie, and I have had several road trips up the Queensland coast, this was mostly new territory for both of us. Our night trip on 31 July from Bundy to…
Our arrival at Fraser Island and the Great Sandy Straits saw us enter a less populated world. Wide water expanses fringed by mangroves at high tide and extensive mud flats in the south, stretching to coloured sands and white sandy beaches in the north, interspersed with pure clear perched lakes scattered through the island. We…
We are finally approaching the southern limits of the infamous Great Barrier Reef. Following a couple of weeks with catching up with family we left Iluka on 5 July for an overnight sail to Southport. We were greeted by a very different skyline in the morning to the coastline we have been traversing of late…
I have been asked about whether the blog is working, as we had not posted anything for a while. However, as we spent about 3 months in Sydney, firstly checking things out, then getting mechanical issues resolved, checking things out again and finally waiting for the weather window to leave, I thought I would wait…
Well it is hard to believe that is nearly 3 months since I stopped working at RDA! It is even harder to believe that we are still in Sydney. However, we did have a few diversions including a trip north for me to do some work, watch Zac perform in My Radio Heart and to…
They say that sailing is about going with the flow and not having any fixed plans, but taking advantage of what conditions get offered. The last week has definitely shown us that! On Monday 10 March we set off from Camden Haven with a predicted 10-15 knot north-easterly to get us to Broughton Island by…
Zac will be starring in My Radio Heart, a joint project between NORPA in Lismore and Sydney-based Urban Theatre Projects featuring all the members of Tralala Blip. The show is inspired by the Marvel comic book series X-Men and arcade video games, and is a love story for the 21st Century with cinematic audio-visuals and…
Getting going took a bit longer than we expected – partly due to getting a nice northerly/north-easterly wind, and partly due to a few early labour hospital visits for Xan. It was ironic, but the day we got rid of Jason’s car, Xan let us know she was possibly having the baby at 35 weeks!…
Here is the first attempt at a blog post – you will see I cannot quite figure out formatting pictures on the page yet, but I am sure this will improve over time. Anyway, packing house and moving felt like doing a week of boot camp. Lucky we had our trusty helper Bailey to make…
