WE NEED TO GO and WE NEED A PLAN!! Ep 226

Malaysia are kicking us out and we need a plan!!! Lets lay it all out and evaluate our options... www.sailingnandji.com
In this episode, it is time to lay it all out and make a plan. We have 25 days left to get everything in order and then off we go, but to where... I have been labouring hard on Nandji to get her ready to sail to destination unknown. It is time to evaluate all our options and give you a run down of what we are faced with. Everything is going to cost big bucks, no matter what we do. Let's try to make the right decision and live with it.

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!!!

Come to Thailand. Willa will babysit Tallula. We can all hit the beach bars. Gorgeous empty beaches here.

[@bobbie7355]

I will babysit Willa and Tallula. And y'all can go crazy.

[@robertmarriott5689]

Trying to think how they could spend less (Not sure how much Taiwan is, or FiJi or Tonga)

[@craigschofield3222]

[@tearsinthesun799]

Top idea, love you guys....

[@SteifWood]

It's cool when awesome sailors watch other awesome sailors .... just sayin'

[@epcode5121]

I’ll be boat boy, I’m only 57 mind young at heart. I love your adventure been watching for over a year now. Even better now your a full family keep sailing and seeing the world giving us great videos and enjoyment. 😎😀⛵️🥛🍻

[@jadejohns3107]

I love the way you look out for Marley, you’re the best kind dog owners and so deserving of all that unconditional love. ❤️

[@ellisyork1817]

You guys are genuine people down to earth and I appreciate that and your video's portray this fact keep up the vids say safe.

[@olavthyvold2288]

You two have made the best decisions you could at the time. You are doing great. Good things will happen.

[@williamwhaley7842]

Always keep your family together! No other way, regardless of the cost!

[@drewkennewell4267]

You guys made the right decision. Come home, be close to friends and family until everything settles down.

[@kymbiddell7467]

Well done on going to the effort on getting Marley home to 🇦🇺, and great decision on heading back home, lots of great places to sail in Australia, looking forward to the coming adventures

[@johnenry]

You guys never cease to impress and amaze me with how you overcome everything that gets thrown at you, from shipwrecks to bureaucratic monsters. Keep on keeping on!!! Thank you

[@mikedonnanancy5436]

Sounds like the right plan. Can’t believe the expense. Thanks for taking such good care of yourselves and Marley.

[@bryanwatt9751]

Well, the main thing is that you made a decision! It's brilliant that Malaysia let you stay in their country so long!

[@SuperPirate100]

Sound and sensible plan, look forward to your videos of the voyage, safe sailing .

[@LifeOnTheHulls]

Great plan to come home.Cruising will be back later,for now I think it's best to be home and where the health care is certain for its own citizens although our track record for repatriation hasn't been good thus far.Maley will be waiting and safe.Cheers Ross.

[@sandykademan3077]

Good for you, you've made the best decision for your family💜

[@moneyfornothing3264]

We’re 100% with you!! Best wishes always for your family!

[@pricedives]

I think you have made the right decisions! Good luck.

[@robertbass5283]

Sorry to hear you are a having so much trouble trying to get back to your home country. At you least you seem to be moving along with plans that were already in progress. I wish you guys all the best, and congrats again on your beautiful baby !

[@dougsrepair1060]

You have both always been respectable guests in any country you visit. You deserve a safe passage to your homeland. Clearly you have a plan. Safe travels. It is always impressive to see young parents deal with things. You are both cool, calm and responsible.

[@lhollybow]

Good Luck! And Bonita , you look amazing.

[@jamarie1972]

At least you know what you need to do to sail back to the other land. There’s thousands of us here that are behind you all the way and support your decisions. Take care all of you.

[@villagegreenlightbulbdistr104]

Bonita looks so much more relaxed and comfortable, compared to your last video. Glad to see that.

[@michelebushnik2874]

Here for you! Praying everything goes as planned, and even better! Much love! Don't stress!❤❤❤❤

[@jeremyduncan3654]

Safe travels y’all. Prayers for an easier journey. Fair winds.

[@ruserious8761]

Smart decision. Lemons/ lemonade...

[@robertb3361]

Wow, good luck on all the crazy steps to follow!

[@mp6756]

You sound so confident and comfortable with your decision. And going home sounds great! I'm sure you will have a wonderful homecoming after lockdown lol.

[@johnekins4408]

Well you have a well researched plan, good luck.

[@cheryllgoodluck3561]

wow what a lot of crap you have to go through but you have made the right decission Marley is family many hugs

[@amarieshearer7613]

Good luck!

[@TheJeffrey575]

Sounds like you’ve got the plan figured out. Too bad the costs are so incredibly expensive. Totally understand your feelings for Marley.

[@hipguide1]

Marley will unconditionally love you 3 no matter how long he is away from you. You're doing what is best for your daughter and the entire family. It will be a long 3 months but it will be worth it in the long term for "your family."

[@marksomers2358]

I've watched you both from the start, even with the stresses of your current situation your lifestyle is what I wanted until I became too ill to try it. So now I live my bedbound life through your eyes, I love that you include the ups and downs without the sugar coating. What a beautiful family you are

[@terrireed8949]

So glad your heading home and I hope everything goes well with Marley. I would like to have your problems y’all are having. Good luck and safe travels

[@gregw6353]

Good to hear you are bringing your family home good luck

[@joannewilson6847]

Just love you both as a couple. You seem to have made a great decision to return to Australia. Just imagine the excitement back in Australia with your family members , knowing your coming back home and meeting that little beauty of yours. Much safe travels back home. Xxx

[@trav-Elr]

You made the right decision for sure! Here's to wishing you the best for your safe journey back home to have all your family close. I know Tallula's grandparents will be happy. Hope the world gets it sanity back soon!

[@jeffslaven]

You guys are in my thoughts and prayers. Things will work out. I can just feel it!

[@chroniclesofashlee951]

I'm happy that you've made the decision to come home even though it's going to cost so much! Marley is going to have a blast in NZ! 💕 I've got my fingers crossed that you get those extra days in Malaysia!

[@alisonlaw2410]

So glad your going home to Australia 🇦🇺 safe travels.

[@lilyherbongallagher5798]

So happy to hear you are heading home. By far seems to be the best plan. I could never leave a pet behind either. It is unthinkable to me. I completely support your decision and became a patron a few moments ago. Stay safe and well. Prayers and love to all four of you. I am ever so confident that this is the right path, the right journey and the right time to make it so. Take care.

[@paullapper8702]

All the best guys

[@simoneclarke5104]

Great plan! We wish you safe travels to Indonesia and safe travels to Marley💖

[@RiverWoods111]

Well, you have made a great decision, and I am sure it will be nice to be back near your family to show off your little one. Right now it would be hard to cruise because of so many borders closed. Although, I would hope that soon things will soon be back open, but then I would give it just a bit of time to make sure everything stays open. What a crazy world we live in!

[@glennmitzel4726]

You are two, no three, no four (including Marley), very strong people! Best of luck to you all!

[@waynemcphail7825]

We love your cannel and the four of you!!!

[@balifix3515]

Happy you’re coming home. 🇦🇺

[@davemcgowan2731]

Motherhood radiates from you ! Wow. Great honest discussion of your plans and considerations to be able to get home. Safe travels.

[@Inamorata.367]

Sounds like the best plan for the current times. All the best and thks for sharing.

[@charlesschultz6797]

Best of luck Mate🙏👍

[@MrBermuda10]

Smashed 200plus episodes in 8 days! Love the show! Unlike the Delos muppets riding mantas!! Love that whippet!! Marley froths the hardest! Ketcha!

[@1240enzo]

Good choice guys, yes there is a big cost but it’s the safe decision. The good thing here back in Oz is that there shouldn’t be any major issues in cruising around the country until it’s safe and viable to head off on your circumnavigation. 👍

[@johnjaco5544]

Wishing you the best of luck

[@TK-qu1ht]

Good plan!

[@konradwagner]

Hang in there guys love your videos. You both seem so stressed out. I’m praying for all of you!

[@lydiaajohnson]

Guys you’re smart, courageous, and loving. You didn’t bring this in yourselves. Life is what happens while making other plans. So, having the baby was right for you. You’re now part of the club of people who are dealing with the effects of the pandemic on children ALL OVER the globe. The situations vary, but it’s a trial for all parents. Who could judge that? Everyone has been caught out by this little apocalypse, so all my love and support as you strategize your way through this time.

[@spicat16]

Good luck with everything guys! I hope everything goes Well & to plan! 💖👍💪🙏 I will try to support your channel everyway possible

[@edwardwhite744]

Good job on the decision making... big calls all round. Will keep watching to see how your going, stay strong 👍

[@thomaswaldorf9141]

Youal will be blessed in you're travel. Keep your heads held high and your souls happy and positive.

[@000001willy]

Sounds like a plan, a good one given all of the variables you have to address.

[@johnperry7534]

Nice work good calls very best of luck next six months great job guys .

[@beggarsbanquet3420]

Best of luck to you guys, hope everything goes well 👍

glad your sailing home to Australia . safe journey

[@sailingmumma2087]

Great plan 👌 We look forward to having you on the west coast 😘

[@barkly1992]

You are both such grown ups. Good decision making process and hopefully a good outcome.

[@adakak7599]

Tons of respect for you both! Josh you sir are a badass!

[@photog48]

So sorry about the costs... tough road ahead.......

[@joejewell9539]

Sounds like a good plan. I imagine half of Australia is waiting to see Tallulah.

[@indydawson]

Heading home always made sense to me.

[@lodragan]

Looking forward to your trip, and also seeing your whole family together - including Marley - back in OZ.

[@geremychubbuck3730]

Wise choice to head toward Australia my friends. Continue to be safe and congrats again on Tallula. Keep up the great work!

[@gbachnik]

Dang! Tough choices!

[@BoStark]

Don’t know anything about sailing, but to me Indonesia sounded like a smart move.

[@betty-loucreamer112]

You are making the best decision for your family! I wish you all the luck and love on your journey!💜💜🇨🇦

[@waughthogwaugh3078]

Good sense prevails! Thank you New Zealand for offering a route for Mali to get home. You can always sail around Australia in the meanwhile, there has got to be heaps of content right there!

[@stephendavenport9869]

You guys are brilliant, always hit thumbs up before watching the video, glad you're heading home, should be a great journey :-)

[@deniseclark1349]

I am praying for all your hopefullys

[@raew5263]

Yes, stay together no matter the cost. Marley will be waiting for you at that end. Keep us posted on her situation. We’re all rooting for you. Stay strong. 👍😎🙏🏻🌊

[@RustyManisduckman]

My heart breaks for your little family. I pray all goes in the right direction abs y'all get home.

[@petertorrey4080]

Marly was like...does hearing my name mean I'm flying to NZ by myself? Humans!😊

[@mezanian]

Happy Mothers Day Bon.

[@loisphillips5826]

love you guys good luck

[@awanghabakkuk533]

Fair winds, hopefully 🙏 all will be well for you two & baby & marly, thanks 🙏

[@marcegrecco53]

Good luck and God Bless

[@UweBehrendt]

All will work out because you have made a decision One that i like and am looking forward too

[@qbeard1]

Good call.....

[@glenn9229]

great to hear you're heading home at this time. I agree with most that I think it's the best of the options.....even though there are some issues with it...it's the safest and most predictable...which is a bonus right now. Look forward to seeing you when you arrive in Darwin, i reckon a few frothys might be downed :) Stay safe

[@nathanquirk9498]

What a nightmare... I’m dying to get back to cruising on my boat in Greece and the Med, but until Covid is past us I’ll leave it on the hard stand and continue working... Banking funds for future cruising. I admire your stamina and patience with rules and authorities. It would’ve broken me already... Well done!

[@Caddman96]

Good luck

[@mikemoxley9477]

Great plans

[@daled8221]

Who said sailing off grid was cheap! Lots of positive vibes behind you guys, one step at a time & remember in your challenging moments you have your health & a beautiful new daughter!!! Now get back to work Yosh!

[@Gladtobeleaving]

Better safe than sorry, but wow, lots of hoops to jump through. Best of Luck!

[@jasonlockhart4647]

So informative

[@leonieparslow-harris5349]

ah guys, feeling the stress, hard yards . as always , so admire your teamwork, dedication and love for your little fam. Glad you are heading home for a spell :)
