In this episode of Sailing Nandji, manoeuvring Nandji around other vessels has always been challenging and as we rarely spend time in marina's, it always get me nervous. Marina's are always tight quarters surrounded by expensive things you do not want to crash into!
Making our way out of the pen and into the haul out cradle, all my worries were pout to rest as we place Nandji on the hard stand and begin our second major refit in preparation for the new crew member who will be here before we know it!
We move everything off of Nandji and let the boat work begin! We plan to complete a major overhaul and upgrade to Nandji's living quarters. Removing everything from Nandji and starting from scratch!
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!
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!

[@ljgarrison8374]

You two are adorable! I have only watched your channel for a few months but the more I watch, the more I want to watch. As a former live aboard yacht lady on a slim budget, I can relate. So thankful that you found that apartment! Let the guys do the boat work Bonita and just enjoy the comforts and your baby will enjoy too. Pull the shorts down and show that baby bump off - so cute! Much love from the USA.

[@peterfrebold]

..... most certainly "low and proud" you are creating something fantastic .... good choice to be away from the fumes ..... as always .. never stop dreaming, just dream bigger .. have fun be safe, save our oceans .....

[@bobbie7355]

I'm so happy you found a place to stay. Now Bonita can chill and enjoy a soothing bath. Yosh will have the boat ready in no time. Maybe Marley can swim in the pool. That baby bump is beautiful. No matter how you wear your shorts. I still think you're having a Yoshi Jr.

[@gregwelch389]

Bonita looks great either way. Yesterday we celebrated thanksgiving and reflected on things we are thankful for.I discovered Sailing Nandji during this shit show of a year and for that I am very thankful. Thanks for offering a look into your exciting lives. The first episode I ever saw Nandji was sitting on a reef and I was immediately invested in your story. The way things have progressed since then with Yosh’s determination to repair her, the way you’ve dealt with the pandemic and now a baby on the way has been an appreciated distraction from 2020. Thank you

[@FabricatorShiner]

You got an amazing place for a great price!!! Love to you both well to all 4 of you. You deserve the best! My prayers are with you.

[@tonyhughes3359]

Yosh and Bonita, You guys will give ANYTHING a crack. Talk about the whole package. Look after yourselves and I know you will do a good job. Wise move not camping amongst the dust and fumes .Hope the flat is not too far away. Our daughter is still hanging in for early January. Remember to have at least 1 beer every day Yosh and Bonita, plenty to drink (water, juice, milk etc) for two. Looking forward to the big day when you 2 become 3 = 1. Bottom paint doesn't seem to been doing its job but you haven't been doing a whole lot of sailing. Cheers.

[@williamlilliott2433]

Looks like you are doing very well without too much stress. I know it is a tremendous amount of work, but just do what you can every day and don't worry about the future trials until they get here. Remember, you saved Nandji from a reef for crying out loud. So, you can do anything if you put your mind to it.

[@erichcollar9810]

Wear them down and be proud. You look fabulous!

[@tommckinley6057]

So glad to see things are working out for you both Send you hugs Keep up the good work

[@earlsnapp5209]

Forgot about how beautiful your boats lines are...you guys are great. PS, I forgot to say, your just a great couple...:)

[@ianprice9005]

Great NanDji that it’s all work out for you guys really happy for you guys

[@johnperry7534]

Great work , good to see those mooring docking nerves kick in mate that’s the way to feel alive , I’ve always the same nervous butterfly’s around marinas and I think it’s a good thing to not be complacent it shows you’re competent and thinking , you’ve s lot On your plate and it’s good to see the first little inklings of fatherhood and worry kicking in , welcome to parenthood, the worry begins and it never stops until your kids have their own kids . You’re a terrific couple of people doing a great job . Good work .

[@rbc5878]

Good for you two, we're cheering for you both.

[@FrothLyfeSailingNandji]

Yew!

[@michelebushnik2874]

Oh your new place is lovely! And so close to Nandji! Loving all the good fortune coming your way❤ Bonita , wear it underbelly, Yosh A+ on the pullout manuevering!

[@FrothLyfeSailingNandji]

We definitely lucked out with the accommodation!

[@theoceandragonfly]

I am very happy for you both. Stay healthy.

[@petezaparty5965]

Oh you say you're going "full down", but @7:31...Aww, man, you went "half way"... Come on. Loud and proud!!! :-)

[@pipelineraustralia]

YOU GUY'S ARE MORE MAINTENANCE THAN THE BOAT. BREATH AND RELAX!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@parkerfilms1]

@@liongod1000 Until she's not!

[@kirby.hofman]

You two are so happy! I signed back up to become a Patron. And Yosh, you walking around the yard in the previous vid I watched with indecision regarding you, Bon and Bun, and if it is the right place, etc would have never happened before when it was just the two of you...welcome to parenthood! You will have countless hours of worry, indecision and planning in the future. Wish you all the best!

[@SuperPirate100]

Advice on ship-handling : Always keep a very loud siren to hand when manoeuvring , you can warn others with and it can drown out that terrible sound of steel tearing into concrete.

[@daveamies5031]

Bon don't feel bad about the boat work, you've already proven your a weapon in the boat yard, but this time Yoshi's right you've got a grommet on the way to take care of. Yoshi, protective of Bonita as usual 👍🏼

[@johnhaywood6358]

Down and Proud!

[@tomas5376]

Nice, looks like you can walk to work! Stay safe👍✌️😊🙏🏼⛵️⛵️⛵️⛵️

[@jb9090]

You two know how to make it work

[@angelatutino6789]

You look beautiful either way! 🇨🇦❤️🇨🇦

[@lydiaajohnson]

That place was pretty nice. What a deal!

[@andrewtaylor9615]

Nice looking neighbourhood.

[@warbirds3339mike]

God Bless You Both

[@RustyManisduckman]

Guys i keep saying this, but I just love both of you guys excitement. Both my kids are grown and now I have the luxury of being grandpa, but I love new parents that are genuinely excited for the greatest/ saddest/ awesome journey of your lives

[@mickhermes1925]

Ahh, beer bellys aren`t so bad. In our marina we call em the turtles. Little garden turtle, all the way up to the giant Galapagos! You`ve got a cute little green sea turtle.

[@carolgoergens9275]

That paint job is 😘

[@earlyoung2863]

What a BEAUTIFUL place for your baby to be born!! That's such a special little harbour. A calming place to be! God bless!

[@monalisa5301]

Be careful about lifting anything from this point on. Take it easy Mike than you are use to. 🌺🏵🌸🌻

[@thenderson6141]

Love your approach to steering Nanji into the haulout - humor and GO SLOW! And of course it’s always nice to entertain an audience. Well done!!

[@jaywatson7451]

Getting it done! You two are rocking it. Good on you Yoshi for taking care of Bonita. Cant wait to meet the little one. Thank you both for sharing your adventures.

[@chrisphinney6430]

Love the apartment! Show the belly be proud and beautiful!

[@ron343]

Interesting you sail across oceans and you are more worried about hauling out. You made me smile this morning.

[@bobthesnobscotland2821]

Cheers guys 🥃👍

[@cliftontibbits6644]

Lord I ask you to watch over them and their baby keeping them safe as well all mothers expecting ending this hard year we all are going through GIVING hope as the new year begins with new beginnings for all,may your blessings be upon them and we of the world moving forward,comfort them and us give them strengths they need and our world at hand,in thy name Lord, I praise and give thanks,Amen.......

[@saintnick1552]

You two are such an honest hard-working couple. You deserve every break you get ....it's quite obvious how excited you are for your new baby , wish you all the best , I know you will be naturally great parents. Stay safe. Sail on ...

[@donb4386]

Great find for accomodation!

[@sonoman00ify]

I'm so excited for you guys. That s a great little space to live in while working on the boat and having the baby. Can't wait for your next few videos. Peace.

[@cloud9camper790]

You two deserve that nice place stay.. what a relief I’m sure. All the best and Cheers! 👀❤️🦅

[@realwheelman]

Good on ya !

[@davidc6510]

Wow! The laid back duo were really amped up with a major dose of nervousness in this video. Nice place to stay for the refit. Looking forward to seeing the transformation! Yew!

[@klouism1]

So glad you found a place to stay it looks like pretty nice spot. That will certainly be better than trying to stay on the boat and moving stuff around all the time . Wishing you good health and happiness. ⛵

[@music-man]

The Rental looks great guys and Nadji is right across the Building Briilant. Think you scored Big time. Cheers. love to you both. xxx

[@andrebruwer7326]

Exciting times on Nandji! What a great episode, wishing you two nothing but the absolute best. Can't wait to see the new renovations for the wee spud on the way! Lots of love. Cheers :)

[@RondoGlobal]

That apartment is swanky AF, a great place to put your feet up after a hard day's work. Congrats to you both.

[@AN-cy7xm]

Glad you got a decent place to stay. It's OK to let yourselves be comfortable during this time.

[@joannewilson6847]

Yayyy, now you can start getting the organisation of the boat under way in plenty of time for bubies arrival. What a great little flat, ideal for you both. Your still the cutest couple.

[@HARDHAT223]

Looks like you’re doing great! Very excited for you, May God bless all four of you.

[@johnjaco5544]

Good work thumbs up

[@annewinning9723]

Marley is going to love the new digs!

[@darrenstephen4148]

Just keep rockin and frothing. Your doing an amazing job through what has been a really tough year to say the least . Bonita relax time for you and young man you just gotta keep plugging along it’s the Aussie way . Cheers from Brisbane .

[@robertnixon3816]

Decisions, decisions! As always thru your whole journey you both have and are making good ones! Bonita, just go and be pregnant. Enjoy your last few months! Yosh, as they say, "getter done"! Can't wait to see the upgraded Nandji interior! And also get to meet the spud! 2021 is going to be a very big and good year! Sending love to you all!👍👏😄❤❤❤⛵🌏

[@FrothLyfeSailingNandji]

Thanks legend

[@Fujifilmable]

Let it hang out, You have never looked more beautiful.

[@larrymayberry2312]

Glad you are on the hard. Now the fun begins. Work safely and take care.

[@williamstewart1957]

It's a blessing to have a flat so close to the boat yard. Sending all the best for you two and a half lol. It seems to have fallen in place wonderfully. God speed on the projects and prayers for you both.

[@georgeanddaddecker7563]

Congrats guys! I am rooting for you! Everything is going to be fine. Cannot wait to see the new baby and Kanji after the refit. Good on you guys!Bless you.

[@johnhaywood6358]

Great video!

[@jamarie1972]

Only go as fast as your willing to crash! That is a great saying. Now this takes nesting to a whole new level going for a major refit. Being able to move off and do jobs that you don’t have to clear up ready for bed is great. Wow you guys rock , also really pleased Marley can stay.

[@trloveslife8132]

Beauty! You guys are doing so great. Hang in there and Happy Holidays 👍👍

[@lodragan]

That accommodation is better than my house. Nice! That should take a lot of the stress out of what comes next.

[@Randy_Gustafson]

Awe, bless you Luv. Job well done you two. And keep looking after your bride mate.

[@terencesmith4137]

You wear it the way you are more comfort! You look beautiful either way!

[@patrolrider]

That's a nice place

[@DanOMallsVideo]

Sweet setup with the apartment so close to Nandji! All the best to you three (soon to be four) as always!

[@kennetw42]

Great. You have managed the situation very well. I'm impressed.

[@shortwidgets]

Life is about to change! Having that first kids totally changes everything so I hope your sailing days aren't at an end.

[@martinc9867]

all very cool stuff as always thanks for sharing GOD bless you all

[@MustGoFasterVR4]

Kinda like driving off road, as slow as you can, as fast as you have to. Keep rocking it, sending good vibes. ~~~

[@carolinemcdougall8708]

"Nearly crashed the boat; no, that's called precision driving" . Love it!

[@patbanta]

Awesome

[@bluedog1052]

Where was the arrow for Marley man......so awesome that you're so close to the boat, although I knew that from the live chat the other week. You better be doing episodes on the bub friendly updates to Nandji.

[@alexstevenson2776]

I'm with ya loud and proud,perfect beer belly

[@tophatter15]

It’s all starting to happen ayeeee. Keep on Frothing. Cheers from Australia 🍷🍷🍷🌹🌹🌹

[@FrothLyfeSailingNandji]

Oh it's all happening alright!

[@ralphjansen9205]

You need a low bed truck to move all your kit. I didn't see where the Surf boards went. (Oops sorry, I forgot who is editing the videos)

[@leslieholt813]

So excited for you two....it's getting close!

[@peterwesth5396]

ever since my wife was pregnant with my first son I have admired the special beauty of pregnancy. do wear your skirt low and impress the world with your making of new life!

[@Hindukushsailing]

Cool I bicycle toured all.over Indonesia. Love the food.

[@sailingwind326]

Praying that everything goes well 🙏

[@ron343]

Let it hang out your beautiful either way

[@ezakoske]

Looks like a great apartment and super close to be able to get back and forth to Nandji!

[@FrothLyfeSailingNandji]

I can walk home for lunch! Awesome!

[@mikeraymond9088]

Welcome home. Best wishes.

[@dawnhornsby7215]

So exciting 😍

[@cheryllgoodluck3561]

love you guys trust x

[@odysseytecharts8144]

Wear them low. Be proud of your baby belly!

[@daled8221]

You guys scored on the apt. & you can walk to work, errr fun!

[@FrothLyfeSailingNandji]

We sure did! Good price and so close to Nandji. Perfect 👌

[@scottjones5221]

love it and yeah just another beer I give you an 8 😁

[@joeweeks7256]

Can't wait to see the little one

[@brianschindlbeck2807]

Looks like an incredible setup for the next month. Holy cow Josh. I think we just got a look at how nervous your going to be in that delivery room. 😛😛😛

[@johnmason1777]

I gotta wait few day to be lifted out I can't wait but also nervous will be 1st time out... Love your videos keep Em up

[@Glenacus]

well, the good thing about having to do all the fixing up in the beginning and the recent repairs, you know Nandji inside and out.......

[@thomaspeplinski6618]

Let it hang out.

[@gunsmoke6230]

Have y’all looked into A/C even a small window unit would help while in the yard.....zero breeze Mark 2 maybe

[@palapewemasies8321]

❤️ You guys

[@FrothLyfeSailingNandji]

❤️❤️❤️

[@st-ti6yd]

“Do you want to get one of the boys to drive the boat” EPIC RESPONSE! You both are cute!

[@trevitho]

Only Australians call it a 'unit'. A 'unit' sounds like something a dog did in a park. The rest of the world calls it an apartment or flat. Precision driving....hahaha... love it.

[@FrothLyfeSailingNandji]

Haha!! Here they call them condo’s which sounds much more exotic and luxurious! 😆

[@johncowgill1294]

Love Bonita lobbing that grenade back at Yosh better get one of the boys to steer Nanji out

[@hipguide1]

You guys, now that the boat is out, can take a breath, R - E - L - A - X. Take a load off and have a beer(not you Bonita) so Yosh can have 2! Remember to take care of Marley - this probably a little stressful on him! Cant wait for the baby to be born. Any names yet?
