Our Journey

Lets buy a boat he said
Our journey from Phillip Island Australia to Toronto Canada and beyond

I wrote so much about our passage the blog page was doing strange things so I’ve had to make a separate page with photos.
It’s too difficult and dangerous to film in rough seas, so no photos from those times. 
We didn’t have very many showers and we were so rugged up we didn’t feel very glamorous but here are a few of the images from our trip.

We had to wait for this Mega yacht to go through the cut before us
Notice the figurehead 

At one stage we had to wait for this huge storm front to pass us 

We had lots of waypoints to follow 

It’s hard to show the conditions, there is not much to see only blue skies and ocean.
We crossed the Iceberg line, we were up in iceberg territory and it sure felt like it !!

Bermuda on the paper charts

 

Happy Craig, he hooked a big one 

It was a fight to reel it in, took over an hour and we still didn’t land it
 
Blue striped Marlon or Swordfish 

I don’t know why a fish would attempt to eat this but it’s guaranteed to catch Mahi Mahi

How were we going to get that thing on the boat, it’s a monster 


Puffy dogs for a bit of a treat 


Full wet weather, beanie and ugg boots, there wasn’t much more gear we could put on 


Motoring along in nice calm seas, calm seas = no wind so on went the engine
