YOUNG LIVEABOARD CRUISERS: Sailing coastal Queensland - Episode 37

The last few passages have been ones we won't soon forget - but would like to. Sailing to windward, flooding the boat with salt water and all bilge pumps failing, losing our anchor on passage and scaring the crap out of ourselves. We've had a few nights in the marina for repairs, maintenance and reprovisioining, now we're filling up and heading north. With looming storms, we start to anticipate yet another uncomfortable passage. You never know whats around the corner when you're sailing. Join us for a passage to forget the last few, as we average 8 knots surfing up to 10 knots to the sanctuary of the Newry Islands! As the conditions subside we settle into the beauty and joy of passage making while cruising. Get an insight into what our relationship is like being a young couple living on a small sailboat together in our beginner sailing journey - what we do to stay fit and how we pass the time.

The rock out montage reminded me of the early days of La vaga-never lose the joy of it :)

[@Thenewkidsonthedock]

Hey Joe, it’s awesome to evoke that memory in you. We love to keep it fun and I’m glad it shows! Cheers mate, Josh

[@1425race]

I laughed at the look on Sonya's face when you guys started rocking "what's going on". Great video kids.

[@Thenewkidsonthedock]

She’s a classic! Such an awesome boat pet, and a huge personality. Cheers mate, Josh

[@peteracke2209]

I'm a retired charter boat skipper here in the Whitsundays..sitting in my shack listening to the rain watching you guys having fun...great couple..great episodes to watch..and you guys are doing great..especially as your new to it all...Adams are great boats...very watchable, especially at the 8 min mark

[@Thenewkidsonthedock]

Glad you’re enjoying the videos mate and appreciate your support and positive words mate! Cheers, Josh

Very cool! Loved the history and Sonya the Star!

[@Thenewkidsonthedock]

Cheers Beans! Such an awesome spot, I could see you there for sure. Sonya steals the show as usual 😁 lots of love, Josh

[@stevecrombie5357]

I was so glad to see you have a nice wonderful sail. Pheobe, thank you for buckling down and cranking out videos. I also appreciate the history tours you give us. Sun is out, anchor is holding, the music is playing....lets dance!! 🙂❤

[@Thenewkidsonthedock]

Yeah Steve! Couldn’t agree more mate, thanks for the love. Yahooo!!

Great video guys 👍

Cheers mate!

[@MotoMatini]

OK. I do not write here at all, but I must point out my thoughts this time. La Vagabonde is the King Sailing KZbin Chanel, but you to youngsters make so much nice content out of small recourses! Music, editing, stories, and nice approach towards selling life make this channel amazing.

[@MrRourk]

The hike looked fun and you both have such great chemistry

[@brianmalon735]

You guys rock & roll 😂 Great video

[@californiakayaker]

Passed this on to my daughter, maybe you'll be the first sailing channel she watches. I wish editing wasn't so hard and time consuming for everyone !

[@tonybaker7242]

Welcome to the tropics , peak cyclone season .

[@Thenewkidsonthedock]

Hey Tony, we are running a bit behind 😆 we aren’t confident enough to sail in the cyclone belt during peak season. Cheers mate, Josh

[@sailingopheliacompass2997]

Two bits of advise - NEVER put the dinghy in the water without being tied to your yacht. And after it hits the water put in the oars. If things go haywire & your dinghy gets loose you won't retrieve it before a croc. or shark gets you. Vice versa when lifting your dinghy on. The oars are the last to leave the dinghy & better to take out when on the deck. I know because I learnt the hard way in Whitsundays & had to swim after it. I was solo sailing.

[@Claudia-nt4dq]

Theres a reason i fkn love you guys, its called the 8 min mark 😆🫶🏻❤️‍🔥

[@Thenewkidsonthedock]

😆😁😬 thanks for the love!

[@aaronnunn5240]

That's a frangipanni at 17:40

[@Thenewkidsonthedock]

That was on the list of potential trees but Phoebe wasn’t convinced, we erred on the side of if you don’t know don’t pretend 😄 cheers, Josh

[@GeofferyBridges]

I know she's growing it back, but how did Sonya break her tail. I've had beardies and may in the future. Always looking for advice. Love your channel!

[@Thenewkidsonthedock]

Hey Geoff thanks for saying gday! Sonya’s tail and foot was supposedly eaten at the pet store the previous owners told us. We rescued her off gumtree. Her tail or foot won’t grow back unfortunately! She is still happy it seems and doesn’t affect her having a great time. Cheers, Josh

[@johnmagnan759]

That's not rain it's liquid sunshine! At the 15 min mark; was that the deadly Australian coconut spider?

[@Thenewkidsonthedock]

Too right John! Good spotting. Love your liquid sunshine reference that’s awesome mate 😁

[@paton57]

Hey guys have you listened to any tracks from Outback

[@Thenewkidsonthedock]

Hey mate, we haven’t but will check them out! What do you like about their music? Cheers, Josh

[@bryanbadger6841]

That means I'm 2nd. Wtf..!!! We have a fantastic day across the ditch, so planned on being out in my patch getting ready for some harvesting. Thought I'd check first to see what new things had arrived. Crikey, NKOTD had uploaded. Oh well, here we go. Luckily it's still fine. The veg patch won't be going anywhere soon. Btw, I'm only here for the Sonya content. 😂 Sorry.!! Hey I'm planning on flying over to Melbourne about May?? So probably not a fair question to ask, but are you likely to be within a bulls roar of the big M. ?? Would love to catch up. Thank you again for sharing. Take care and atb from over here.

[@Thenewkidsonthedock]

Hey Bryan thanks for giving us an insight into your world! Love that image 😆 In May we should be far in Northern NSW/ Southern Queensland so pretty far from you! Sonya says gday and thanks you for being her biggest fan! Cheers, Josh

[@bryanbadger6841]

@@Thenewkidsonthedock yeah g'day Josh. If only I could remember who I lent my private jet to; I'd be up in a heart ❤ beat. Haha 😄. Looks like I'll have to go to Plan B. Take care guys. Until next time, atb.

[@BLURby84]

I think Sonia is a few months older than my Irwin.

[@Thenewkidsonthedock]

Sonya sends her regards to Irwin 😁 is Irwin a boy or girl?

@@Thenewkidsonthedock I’m not sure yet. First lizard I’ve ever kept.

A gybe is not a tack......And ease the mainsail a lot more.

[@kenegan7649]

Your so lucky..in NSW..maritime don't allow livaboards..and hound every move you make..threatening to tow your boat away and auction it ...and constantly calling in water police ..it's horrible..

[@Thenewkidsonthedock]

Hey Ken, we feel you mate. We stayed in Ballina for long enough to experience it and the Tweed river was absolutely ridiculous for it! They need some serious reform in that regard. Cheers mate, Josh

[@kenpankhurst63]

What is your plan for the Airlie - Bowen area?

[@Thenewkidsonthedock]

We are a little bit behind in our videos, so so much fun ahead in the Whitsundays which we are so excited to share with you. Bowen we skip this year! Cheers, Josh

[@stevehartley8162]

Love your work but please loose the hi vis jackets. Not cool.

[@Thenewkidsonthedock]

Hey Steve, our sailing clothing locker is severely inadequate. With no good wet weather gear, we get soaked on every wet passage. As we buy everything second hand and reuse stuff we already have you’ll have to put up with us wearing the ugly/ unfashionable and plain darn useless clothing until we can aquire something better! It will be awesome to see the transformation as time goes on. Cheers mate, Josh

I know 😩 biggest face palm EVER. When I wrote it out the first time in my Notes it must have autocorrected…and I fear that it’s been “straight” for every video without me realising because I copy and paste the text in and just change the name of the Mob. I can’t believe it’s taken this long for someone to realise…including myself 😝
