Days like these 💙
Simple times in the Whitsundays ⛵

Some days we feel like we’ve got this, other days we’re just surviving.

Nothing worth doing is easy. ⛵👶💪

Moving at a slower pace these days and so are our social media posts.

Middle Percy Island is legendary among Aussie sailors. It's a remote island with a tropical beach and an A-frame hut dubbed the 'Yacht Club'. It is two stories, overflowing with decades of sailing relics left behind by cruisers. We spent a couple hours roaming around the hut and even found a few signs from friends who sailed here before us.

We’re proud to have added our own little piece of history to the collection and become official members of the Percy Island Yacht Club. 💙🌎⛵

We’ve been loving the sailing up the east coast of Queensland. These pics are from Pancake Creek, where we only meant to stay a night or two hiding from weather but ended up staying almost a week.

We wandered the sand dunes, hiked up to the Bustard Head lighthouse, and were hypnotized by little soldier crabs at low tide. We tried our first mud crab here, and Gary even got a kiteboarding session in.

A perfect stop to slow down and just enjoy life for a while.

It’s been a couple months of sailing, learning, adjusting, and figuring out this whole “parenting at sea” thing.

I’ve had intentions of sharing fun reels and curated posts… but real life is winning right now. Don't let the cute sleepy baby photos fool you. 🤣

Here are a few snaps from a couple months ago, our very first sail as a crew of three from Bundaberg to Lady Musgrave Island, 📍🇦🇺.

It's been awhile since we posted a video!

In real time we've been quite busy getting adjusted to life in Australia on the boat with a baby!

This video takes us back to our time in New Zealand pre-Ridley when we had an epic weekend with our kiwi friends, Rata Denton and Gene Denton! Thanks for coming along with us!

Happy weekend!

Happy Birthday Brooke!!! 🎈🥳🍾🥂🥳🎈

I am continually amazed by the strength of this woman and watching her excel in motherhood has made my heart full in a way I didn't know possible. She is the glue that holds our little family together and makes it all happen. Nothing would be possible without the love and perseverance that she gives us every single day.

So today we celebrate you Brooke! Ridley and I love you so much and are determined to make this trip around the sun your best ever!
