THE VOYAGE OF A LIFETIME

We're setting sail for the voyage of a lifetime. After 48 hours at sea, catching our food along the way, we have arrived in a true wilderness frontier. Sailing in the Kimberley is another step in our Australian circumnavigation that will truly test our sailing capabilities, with its extreme natural forces and water that is not only largely uncharted but also infested with sharks and crocodiles 😬

I am just getting to the point where you catch the Wahoo and I want to yell "That fish is GREAT eating ! Keep it !" The trick to Wahoo is to be careful not to over cook it - it's a little like Swordfish - but is really lean meat and can get dry if overcooked. I've caught many and it is one of my favorites to eat. And Soph - that fish cake recipe looks awesome ! Never thought about doing that with Wahoo. Great episode thank you - can't wait to explore The Kimberly with you - that place looks *amazing* !

Another great video. You know how big of a bugger those thrashing bleeding fish are when you pull them on deck. I've taken to spearing them as I get them alongside and hanging them off the cord until they've bled out and stopped thrashing. Its turned fishing from a task into a pleasure

Beautiful place to be , we sailed there in 2013 part of our circumnavigation. Watch the weather patterns for the west coast, some of the ports are hard to get in and out if the seas are up. In the Kimberley you can get fuel at the barge in Dog Leg Creek.

@SlimandSophSailingNakama 11 ай бұрын

fantastic! you did the loop how epic! yeah were planning to stop by the barge ! and yeah we are excited for the Wa coast certainly going to be some new challenges along that coast that will test our skills, its amazing the difference between the coastlines and the different navigational benefits and hazards each place holds. I mean the tides hee in the kimberleys are wild, but the sleep and calm anchorages have been great!

Unfortunately we must've crossed paths somewhere. We've just got back to Darwin and watching your next episode makes me cry as what you show is just how we experienced every day we were there and you make our yearning to return only more pressing and the feeling that we were so fortunate to experience such raw beauty. Have a few repairs to tackle then back there for sure. What do you recon? Or should we continue going east. We did miss a chunk of the mid kimberleys as we side tracked to Scott and then Ashmore Reef. If you can definitely check out Scott Reef - AMAZING, (Ashmore not worth the extra mileage). And certainly try to get to the Rowley Shoals, we spent 10 days there and could've stayed longer, we did have perfect weather to top it off which made the whole scene even more mind blowing.
