GOODBYE TO OUR OLD LIFE! Leaving our Boat behind... Ep 219

Unable to return to our home country, we are forced to put plans in motion to have our child abroad. We leave the boat and off to the foreign hospital we go!
www.sailingnan...
In this episode, with Nandji on the hardstand and not ready to be launched, we need to pack her up and move closer to the hospital. Bonita is now 9 months pregnant and the baby could come any day. With the hospital a 3 hour drive away, we move overland to the city of Penang.
Due to Australia's tough and expensive restrictions and the fact it being near impossible to get a flight into the the country, we have had to think how and where we are going to have our baby. With great health care in the city of Penang, Malaysia, we decided this would be our place.
Away from friends and family and alone in this new city, times can be difficult. Together we can face any obstacle and this is a new challenge for our family to overcome.

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!!!
We departed the east coast of Australia in July 2017 and have since sailed over 10000nm offshore. We have explored some amazing countries and met some beautiful people along the way. We have experienced so many different and diverse cultures, dived pristine reefs, surfed solo in the middle of nowhere, spent weeks at sea, dealt with storms, big waves, strong winds and had the time of our lives doing it! The adventure is just beginning as we sail West with the trades around the World!

[@c.wrightkunkle3681]

I really have grown to love you two. You guys are my fav sailing couple on KZbin. You’re honest, funny, pretty real and actually sail. I wish you all the happiness with your up coming baby. If you ever get to Florida you’ve got a place to stay. Be well, be careful and have fun!

[@FrothLyfeSailingNandji]

Thanks legend, great to hear you enjoy our videos. There is no sugar coating on Nandji 😂 thanks mate, reckon a Nandji tee would look good on you 😉

[@kenwhitney9146]

I truly love both of you!! I would be proud if you were my own kids!! You keep it up, life is going to reward you well! Loved this video!

[@FrothLyfeSailingNandji]

Cheers Ken. Legend!!

[@fxpthl]

Thank goodness for your “carton of beer”! Love you kids and I’m so happy you have moved close to the hospital! You apartment looks small but comfortable too.

[@1sheinz]

Can't hardly wait to see little bubs, my little grandson was born 3 days ago, such a wonderful omen of the new year. Your gonna have to rent a bigger car for the tip back too the boat, no room for a car seat in the back of that one. Stay safe stay well and CHEERS AND A SMOOTH BIRTH Steve h.

[@doogl2331]

Hope the baby arrived all healthy. You are quite the trooper this late in your pregnancy.

[@neptunesjester4145]

Congrats guys, been a viewer and fan for years. Hope to see you two plus the new addition and Marley back on the water in the future. Be well, stay safe and be yourself. ❤🤙🐶⚡😊

[@jasondavies6928]

Can I just say as prospective parents faced with such adversity and continually strange surroundings, you have nothing but my admiration and best wishes. Me and my lass could never have done what you are doing... simply not brave enough. I can only say that your child will have two wonderfully tenacious parents and a dream upbringing. X

[@FrothLyfeSailingNandji]

Thanks mate

[@chrismalkin4070]

You are both absolute rippers. Great planning, very sensible decisions. Take care and stay safe and well. Good luck. Chris.

[@ropegun44]

Congratulations to all of you. A very nicely made video. You guys are my heroes! Lovely, beautiful child!

[@thealternativequest]

Congrats on the beautiful little one ❤️❤️ .. not sure if your still having restless legs, if it was due to the pregnancy or not but I suffer as well with them at times. A trick that helps is soaking your feet in ice water until it is unbearable then wrapping them in a warm towel.. hope it was just something related to the pregnancy and you don’t suffer no more with them ❤️

[@robertnixon3816]

What a good video! Wondered how you got to ll your stuff from Lankawi. Now we know ! Another adventure! It won't be long and you FOUR will be back to Nandji! Sending tons of love your way!👌👏👍❤❤❤⛵🌏

By now life has to have really changed for Sailing Nandji. Hope everyone is safe, healthy and making the adjustments life requires of us. Blessings.

Omg, the way Marley pops his head up after "Not too much stuff" is adorable. Like he's saying, "Oi! Don't go forgetting about me!!"

Marlee riding on the roof .. smilin .... glad you got that great place for home base while you are there, Josh you are right it will make a difference as the clock winds down and after touchdown it will be stellar for your expanded family .... had a good chuckle when you were telling the story of the customs bloke, talk about awesomeness .... thx for sharing ..... as always Josh and Bonnita .. never stop dreaming, just dream bigger .. have fun be safe, save our oceans ....

"Whinging" ?? She ad-libs just fine. 😛 (winging it) 🤣

[@californiakayaker]

I still think you've mad a great decision for your family. I know others that returned (just before the pandemic) and were then stuck at home or elsewhere, not able to get to their boats. I think I saw more tension in there lives with them worrying about their floating homes. Your not having to deal with that and all of the extra costs to boot. Your family is the only one without a big bill , and all of that extra stress, and that's a great thing. Michael
