Sailing Latitude: EP10: Sydney to Lord Howe Island: The crossing

To cross an ocean in a sailboat is quite a thing, and not just any ocean but the tempestuous Tasman Sea!
Our first target is a tiny speck of land... a paradise... an outpost called Lord Howe Island. 450 odd nautical miles from Sydney.
Join the crew as we charge across the sea, testing our boat, our repairs and of course, ourselves.
From the sunny days to the wet and windy, strange sea creatures, a few tears, and the unmistakable joy of LAND HO!
We hope you enjoy the video! Do you have any burning questions? or curiosity? Please write on the comments below and we will answer!

Thanks Peter, isn't it the best feeling to sight land after days at sea? the harder the crossing the biggest the high at the end and we learn so much with each passage.
