The Challenge of the Seas

Follow our journey around the world through our blogs,

our logs and photographs

Melbourne to Queencliffe

Finally we get away, albeit only as far as Queencliffe

Queenscliffe to Sydney

Heading north to Sydney, dodging bad weather or darting into bolt holes, and getting into the swing of cruising. 

Sydney to Cairns

Heading north to Brisbane, collecting crew (and loosing one to seasickness), Hamilton Island in thermals and on to collect Jean in Cairns

Cairns to the Torres Strait

Up behind the Barrier Reef, living by waypoints and dodging the shipping

The Torres Strait to Darwin

Our first long pasage across the top end, arriving in Darwin - and breaking ribs

Darwin One

It may have been an enforced stay, but life in Darwin is fun

Darwin 2

It may have been an enforced stay, but life in Darwin is fun - 2

Darwin 3

It may have been an enforced stay, but life in Darwin is fun - 3 - and well ready to leave

From Darwin to Bali

Travelling again, reaching our first new country, loosing a prop blade

From Bali to Lombok

New friends, traveling again, Nusa Lemboggen, Teluk Narah, the Gili's - and a visiting sea snake

From Lombok to Kumai

Passaging with fish-traps, Bawean, Kumai River and the orang-utans

The Orangutans of Borneo

A special time, but bitter sweet. with our relatives. Heading on from Indonesia.

From Kumai to Kuching
