Channel Information
An adventurous couple from Australia who bought a sailboat on the other side of the world. With no clue on how to sail, we left our desk jobs, sold everything we had and bet everything on a sailboat called Zephyr. With your support, every week we will share our adventures, hilarious moments and amazing sights from the places we visit. Along the way, we hope to inspire awareness in marine conservation through the wonderful people we meet and engage in a more sustainable way of living.

Space to move around freely on a sailboat is a never ending battle. The smaller the boat, the less space you have and the more cramped it feels. We are constantly battling to optimise the little space we have to make our lives easier on our Beneteau Oceanis 43.

We get right back into the teak work on our Beneteau sailboat. Last week we did the long hours of sanding all the teak toe rails till they were nice and smooth. Then we went through the process of using wood filler to fill in all the gaps in the teak.

There are many parts of a sailboat that require ongoing maintenance, but few are generally as laborious as working on teak. Whether it's decks, toe rails, seats or interior wood.

Most things you do on your boat will have only minor impacts to your sailboat performance and your wallet. But sometimes there are certain things, that if ignored, could end up costing you thousands of dollars in repairs and render your sailboat useless.

It's rare if not unheard of for someone to ever have the chance to visit the factory where their sailboat was made. It's even more rare if that factory has been abandoned. Well, we get that chance and it's an emotional experience.
We also finally replace our water tank that has been a huge problem for...

Abandon Ship, we are sinking, the boat is going down! All words that bring complete fear, loss, sadness and the reality that Mother Nature needs to be respected.
We sail the world with the full understanding that we are susceptible to the risk of losing the boat for any number of reasons. We strive...

Welcome back! This week, we're finally in the marina and getting down to business with a list of boat jobs that never ends. First, we're tackling the anchor chain—switching it around and marking it again for future trips. Next up, we say goodbye to the old, broken vinyl flooring and install brand-new...

Sleep on a sailboat can mean the difference between good and bad decisions, decreased safety and just overall quality of life. There are few things we value this important on our sailboat, so we take it pretty seriously when it's time to make improvements.
