Episode 23 - The last leg, Percy's to Home - Yeppoon to Townsville in our 2400 Kevlacat Trailerboat

Hi Guys! Our last episode for the epic trip! We leave the Percy Group headed for home. We come across a lot of Whales and make it home just in time before the bad weather and the boat running on fumes!
Hope you enjoy
Jill & Mick

Well done to you both. It was great to see you achieve your goals. Thanks for taking us along on the journey. There must be something in the way “steve’s think the same!😜

Guys I have been dreaming about doing the big lap for many years. Your story has inspired me even more. Hoping to head off in two years when my youngest finishes school. Thanks for the pump-up. Also loved seeing you enjoying it so much together. I cant wait for us to do the same.

[@makeithappen2021]

YES! We love hearing that from you guys! Absolutely achievable with good planning and life changing experiences!

[@neilrichardson423]

Looks like a bittersweet moment, thanks for sharing an amazing adventure! I'm looking forward to your next one already, and wish you every success with it as well!

[@makeithappen2021]

Thanks! yeah it was a tough time for sure. But we will try and make it work as a life style combined with work which, like the trailer boat part will be achievable for most people

Awesome video, it was a fantastic effort to do this trip in a 24 foot trailer boat. Great to meet you both this season an really looking forward to catching up and cruising with you both next season.

Guys its been an absolute pleasure watching your adventure , I'm sure a trip like that gives you a very different perspective on life and what's important. You have inspired my wife and I do a similar trip in the future as we work to our dream of relocating to Northern Qld , enjoy life guys !

Great work guys, loved every episode. I had a bit of a giggle to myself thinking any overseas viewers probably understood only half of what you said! Love our Oz vernacular :-) Looking forward to your next trip.

[@georgeandkatherinedrager3705]

Yes yous will miss being out on the water. But a hot shower and cool clean sheets to lie down in is good I look forward to your next adventure cheers from a sub in rockhampton

[@makeithappen2021]

Thanks guys! Yep, as comfy as we were, a looong hot shower & your own bed is nice! Although sometimes I say to Jill if she's looking for me one night I could be camped up in the boat... 🤣

[@TheMonstercookiee]

Great videos watched them all getting my catermeran next year hopefully and will be doing Whitsundays from Airlie those fuel stats are a great help

[@Coralita675]

Well done for making the dream, I'm hoping a Seawind 1250 may be for your next adventure. ( Mmm .... keep on Blue Nomading)

[@alexappleton9320]

Hi guys , great effort. Just a question on the boat though. How much growth was on the hull at the end of the trip ? And what are your thoughts on perhaps anti fouling. I have spent three weeks on my own trailer boat and it definitely needs a good scrub after that length of time on the water. Cheers Alex.

[@makeithappen2021]

Hey mate! Thanks! Yeah there was a bit of growth when we pulled out as in this vid. But I had scrubbed the hull twice in the two months. It really wasn't too bad, good pressure cleaner sorted it out. This year I sprayed the hull bottom with spray wax to trial out if it was better. Admittedly it was only a month this time but it was a bit better...

[@Richiecruz1589]

Hi there just a question, just wondering on what fuel you think you would use going from Yeppoon to Percy and back ? Thank you

[@makeithappen2021]

Hey mate.. thats a tough question without info.. what are you in and what does it use? Percy’s is about 100nm or 180km one way. So in Heave Ho, you'd need 360 - 400 just to cover the trip plus 100 for play? Even though we never did a straight percys return trip we did a few Swains trips which is the same distance so I'd use the bladders for the 180km trip there and have the 450L on board for play and the return trip.

[@laddventures6823]

Bloody awesome you pair, what a fantastic trip, we can’t wait to see what you get up to in the Future👍👍

[@makeithappen2021]

Cheers! Was definitely a start of something we will continue as a hobby hopefully. 🤞🏼
