After 7 months of Boat Work, IT'S SPLASH DAY!!! Ep 231

After 7 long months of hardwork, splash day is upon us!! www.sailingnandji.com
In this episode, Nandji is going back to where she belongs!! It has been a long journey to reach this point of Nandji going back in the water. We have had a baby and completed some major boat works to make our boat a beautiful home for the future years of sailing.
When covid hit, we decided to stay with our boat and our dog to have our first born baby overseas. The unknown of leaving these two behind, was not fathomable. It has been difficult a decision to deal with, add many many hours of hardwork, constant visa issues and the potential we were being kicked out... We now have a beautiful daughter and a vessel that floats!!! All those long days in the boat yard on a grinder, all those litres of sweat dripping off my nose, all seem like distant memories as we reach this major mile stone in cruising once again.
SPLASH DAY!! WOOOOOO!

With no sailing experience, we bought a yacht, got it blue water cruising ready and set off from Australia sailing to the Pacific! We have since cruised through New Caledonia, Vanuatu, the Solomon islands, Papua New Guinea, Indonesia and then onto the boat yard in Malaysia to prepare for the years to come. With a new engine, we continued onto Thailand, then back down into Indonesia and specifically West Sumatra to live the island life and chase the surf. With our Sailing plans changing, we returned to Thailand to wait for the weather and begin our journey to the northern route of the Indian Ocean to Sri Lanka before heading south across the Indian Ocean once cyclone season has finished and the trade winds begin! We were on our shake down sail when the mooring we were on failed and our home ended up on the reef... We saved the old girl and got her back to the boat yard for repairs to continue on our adventure! Ready to sail across the Indian Ocean, we were only days away from leaving when the pandemic begun closing countries around us... We are stuck for now, but enjoying the slower pace as we have just had our first baby, born in Malaysia! Now completing our second major refit, Nandji is ready for the world when the world is ready for us!!!

[@clintonmiller4917]

As a father of 30 years, I love the My man snatched the baby out of stroller. Frogged great. Love y’all. Best wishes to you and Nandi!!! Happy Father’s Day Yosh

[@dianne.murielrobidoux9008]

You're such a good guy and the best mom! That baby so cute and responding. Finally in the water.

[@johnmikel5934]

I hold Nanji in the highest regard. True struggle, a beautiful baby girl 😇, hard work on, for your home. True life, living life in every way. My admiration, love for you all 🌊✨

[@richb313]

All that hard work has paid off the boat looks great but the topper was the scream of joy when testing out the inflatable. Congratulations.

[@sidvak9700]

A young couple sharing adventures on the open sea is fun to watch. Watching two parents taking their baby to sea on a small sailboat is just too scary to watch. See ya.

[@000001willy]

Yosh and Bonita, your team work and persistence in trying times has paid off. The two of you have done a fantastic job. Now that Nandji is in the water you can get things finalised and be ready to sail with plenty of time to spare. You guys are an amazing and inspiring couple. It's like you have built the Taj Mahal with a limited budget and nothing but hard work and determination all the while having your first baby. Well done.

[@ricorichmond8214]

First of all Tallula is BEAUTIFUL! Always been impressed with your skills mate! Well done Nandji is reborn! Great job!

[@silviawermer60]

Boat is looking great! I cannot wait to see you all reunited. I know there are hard times ahead for Marley, please keep us updated. Fair winds for Nandji.

[@leannecrown9920]

She is looking fantastic, what a great JOB JOSH. Can't wait for you guys to get going and time to fly so you can get your 1st baby(Dog) and back again AND be a sailing family again🐶❤️👨‍👩‍👦

[@MrLebro11]

Well done!! All the hard work has paid off. Congratulations! Love to see a boat tour of Nandj, she’s looking sweet.

[@kirby.hofman]

The amount of light inside is definitely noticeable, that paint and varnish did the job! We NEED a final walk thru of Nandji once you're fully moved back in and everything is DONE.

[@tommygunz8692]

👁👁👁…..Boat looking RAD…..The 4 LEGENDS are back on the water….. Yyyyyyeeeeewwwww

[@svravenflintlock7526]

[@andreasweber5638]

Hope the Last minute glass job doesn’t backfire. Good job man, having a surveyor to check your home is smart. You want peace of mind and professional input of what’s hot and what not. I can see the light on the end of your tunnel

[@theoceandragonfly]

I am so happy for all of you. Your boat is in the water cheers to that.

[@garysankey4618]
