Ep 116 | Installing the Radar and Auto Pilot

by Magnus October 11, 2018October 19, 2018
written by Magnus

It’s been a big week for the installation of lovely new toys for Nutshell. Magnus makes good parts of the old auto pilot and installs the new one and he gets the radar up and running. Nutshell is getting more modern by the day.

“Calm sailing doesn’t come from calm waters, it comes from having a good navigator; a good crew and a good vessel.”

Ep 114 | Seized Starter Motor, Again!

by Magnus September 27, 2018October 4, 2018
written by Magnus

We finally arrive back at our beloved Nutshell. Fortunately she is in pretty good shape and the clove oil seemed to have kept most of the mould at bay.

“The pessimist complains about the wind; the optimist expects it to change; the realist adjusts the sails.  “

Ep 113 | Australia to Mexico

by Magnus September 21, 2018September 27, 2018
written by Magnus

We leave Australia and slowly make our way back to Mexico and SV Nutshell. There are plenty of beer reviews in this episode and our fair share of traveling.

Ep 112 | We Made it to Byron Bay

by Magnus September 13, 2018September 21, 2018
written by Magnus

We camp the night in the Eyre River bed and then make our way out of the Simpson Desert to Birdsville, the remote outback town that sits at the edge of the Simpson Desert.

We wind our way towards the coast and take in some old homestead ruins along the way.

“There is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.”

Ep 111 | Central Deserts and Camp Fire Cooking

by Magnus September 9, 2018September 13, 2018
written by Magnus

This episode is full of amazing desert vistas and Magnus cooking on an open fire in the Australian bush.

We check out Chambers Pillar, a stunning rock formation at the end of a four wheel drive track. It’s definitely worth the hours and hours of driving to get there.

I wanted freedom, open air, adventure. I found it on the sea.

Ep 110 | Lets Talk About The Weather

by Magnus September 9, 2018September 9, 2018
written by Magnus

We continue our journey on bumpy, deserted roads, in the deserts of the Australian Outback. We re-water and re-fuel by the side of the road.

The scenery is absolutely stunning in this part of the world and Mavi gets a good workout!

I wanted freedom, open air, adventure. I found it on the sea.

Ep 109 | Abandoned History, Bygone Days

by Magnus August 29, 2018September 9, 2018
written by Magnus

This is an historic episode where we find abandoned mines and an abandoned town in the Outback, as we slowly make are way further and further from the coast, heading west.

Travelers

Our kids had left home and it was time for the two of us to head out into the world. We flew to the UK and bought a 70ft narrowboat. For a year we cruised the english waterways, with their beautiful canals and rivers. We checked out the tow path pubs. It was a wonderful experience.  Our next big step was swap steel for fibreglass. We found the perfect yacht, a 43 foot Hans Christian Ketch, which had been neglected and floating at anchor for over 3 years. SV Nutshell was in need of plenty of TLC. Our plan is to sail her back to Australia, the long, long way, exploring the many places we come across. We'd love you to join us on our travels as we check out the islands, towns and villages along the way, and search for local ales to sample.
