okay so we're leaving our lovely little

baby behind us school-bell Bay our big

turtle

don't know if you got that or not there

was a really big turtle he was massive

awesome

they say lucky yes so we're taking off

up from score fowl island and we're just

going to head over to some bees just to

see if we can pick up some Internet

we're having not having much luck with a

satellite and weather so we have to

revert back to the old ways and just

keep an eye on this low make a decision

as to whether we run into Makai do some

provisioning and pick up our drone

battery which we think has actually made

it to Makai so it'll be good to go and

get Bette but if we haven't got time and

the system looks like it's gonna be a

biggie we are gonna keep hitting on

South a gorgeous day

breeze is going to be in the easterly

about 15 to 20 knots that'll be lovely

and lovely we're on race today

boy

[Music]

[Music]

and so I've decided to pull into some

faith which was only about was that 10

nautical miles from the small Bell

love message between the Turtle Island

hit gonna pull in there and rest up

and get a hold of it and this

while planning on our little birds

pretty little island to stir reminds me

of Canterbury in New Zealand with the

hits all lightly reefed and a decent

breeze we made good time over to some

bees and Keswick and found a good

Anchorage in the northern end of a

channel between the two islands

so here we are at the beautiful Keswick

and Cebu's are it's a pretty funny

little place is two islands are anchored

side by side and the connector in right

in between them so fairly protected

Anchorage not too bad

why we have had a little bit of trouble

getting the we all anchored in it seems

to be a hard quite a hard bottom and the

old anchors just this has got nothing to

bite into so anyway three hours later

and we've finally found something for it

apart into anyway that's pretty good

we found a little bit of internet here

so that saw a clone that's up north of

us at the moment

it's it looks like it's going to go in

just a bit north of us that takes the

pressure off a little bit then trying to

claw our way south into the southeast as

I've hadn't made a whole lot of fun

anyway that's so on yeah so it looks

like we're only gonna get a little bit

of a blow off it no 30 or 40 knots I

won't be too bad we're going to head

over to macaw tomorrow and do a bit of a

reprovision and yeah probably have a

long hot chair meanwhile make had found

a disturbing problem in the aft cabin

so that dear friends is this morning's

problem the new year is not going on

with a very good start I have to say yes

so I was wondering why ad clothes this

is our clothes cupboard in our after

Kevin and I was wondering why our

clothes were starting to get a bit damp

in the wet season things do get a bit

dent which is why I keep an eye out on

them but yeah it was a little unusual so

I put my finger in the back and there's

water along all of the ribs which means

that our tie rails are leaking I don't

know if you remember but about a year or

so ago we went through a massive job

pulling apart all of our Tyrells and

redoing our chain plates and sealing

them up with this magic stuff fix tick

one five four fix one five which is

supposed to be the new beaut product

better than silicon better than some

other stuff that you get from America

just the new boot stuff so we used it

and we've been doing some really hard

sailing in the last couple of weeks to

try and clear away from the spared

weather and also the wet season has

started in earnest so it's been rain

rain rain and Tyrells under the water

and that water is saltwater so yeah

really disappointing a lot of work ahead

of us and we're pretty much frustrated

and gutted and sitting in a very Rolly

Anchorage right now not wanting the

situation to get any worse I set about

mopping up the water and cleaning out

the mold explosion

in our clothes and in the cupboards well

it's actually quite good that we've

shrunk so much with this bloody detox

diet but otherwise we wouldn't fit in

there while I'd been cleaning up down

had made some extra bracing locks for

the saloon cupboard these will help keep

the contents of our cupboards firmly

locked in when we experience heavy

weather outside the clouds were moving

fast showing us the wind strength

outside the protection of our anchorage

wow what a beautiful day it is out here

it's gorgeous we've been here for about

three days it is glorious what a great

little hideaway from the busting winds

outside so yeah magic this afternoon I'm

going to go for a walk on that little

beach I absolutely promised myself that

afternoon we took a hike up the hills to

check out the views a channel between

the two islands is quite slim so with

the tides here running up to 6 metres

the current can flow quite swiftly as

it's forced through the gap

[Music]

next morning we were off to Makai to

reprovision

[Music]

we've just slipped simply and kids week

and we are heading towards Makai to

reprovision

pick up our drone battery and hopefully

my myths so we can get that all done in

one fell swoop

that should be good

it's beautiful day we did fine managed

to find quite enough

a good spot to anchor it some bees and

the northern end of that channel and yet

wasn't so rollin so it was nice and uh

protecting the myths

it's got to be a bit

and today we've got about 15 to 20 knots

of breeze from the southeast which is

pretty much where we want to go so at

the moment we've clearly hit to it and

we've got a reef in the main and the

Falls about

and we're cruising along about 7 knots

or so

which is pretty good pretty comfortable

we've got the old swells coming onto the

beam at the moment

check she looks pretty groovy from time

to time

but we're traveling along quite nicely

I'm actually sort of got us going a

little bit higher their course at the

moment because when we get into the car

and we'll get quite lovely against quite

shallow there and we'll be able to turn

around

and let the wind pull on that me

it goes his day the sun is shining and

it's lovely and warm on our backs

we haven't got waterfall on either the

bail is so mystech it's pretty awesome

obviously we get support

Shola a genius

if anyone else noticed that Darren's the

earlobes are flapping in the breeze

I thought that's pretty cute actually so

yeah we're uh this tripping into Makai

it's been a bit of a challenge actually

our whole provisioning since we've

changed our diet like previously we

could use all of our vegetables that we

bought and pass them out with Rice's and

pasture and and you know breads and

cereals and whatnot but now that we're

not eating any of that we're only eating

fresh fruit and vegetables this last

sort of six months of traveling has

really proven quite challenging for us

what it's meant really is that we

haven't been able to spend the long

months that we would like to spend out

on reef

and exploring areas we've had to come

back maybe every two weeks I guess we've

had to really be back at land which has

been quite restrictive on our traveling

and has actually been a little bit

stressful I must admit because it means

we've now running to deadlines and yeah

including sort of doctors appointments

medical appointments trying to get ship

loads of herbs shipped in at the right

time at the right destination and for us

to make it there on time so it does has

added a higher level of stress to our

travels in a way but we have managed it

and have it my bags

so far so good but what we have been

doing is buying frozen vegetables and

frozen fruit and they've been proving

really good in this snap frozen so one

would hope that they've got lots of

nutrients in them

and petting things out that way

we've been trying to buy most of our

fresh fruits and veggies at markets

rather than in supermarkets which which

is challenging because not everywhere

that we land Haslam has on Saturday

market and we're not always there on a

Saturday but buying fruit green and

vegetables slightly less green has been

a good way to get around that the

bananas for example when they start

going off

we will then freeze them down so they'll

last a lot longer we'll get more use out

of them I should say putting them in

smoothies and whatnot

we buy a lot more root vegetables

coomer's and beetroot and vegetables

like that that will last a lot longer

cabbages last a lot longer as well

so that's a bit of a chat about our

provisioning yeah and so but as far as

the whole the whole fruit and veg diet

goes as much as it has its challenges we

are actually feeling a lot more vibrant

in ourselves and a lot healthier so it

is definitely a better diet to be on
