This is sailing! We are learning and putting ourselves out there and you can join us on the adventure. If you want to see what a day of passage making looks like onboard our 35ft sloop rigged yacht - Innerbloom then this week will be right up your alley :)

Everyday's a school day! I bought "Sailing Essentials" by Steve Sleight for Josh on his first birthday spent together. Who would have known that 4 years late...

Guys!!! Your friend Josh here, I’m absolutely frothing to share this one with you. If you have watched our videos before you’ll have heard (and loved) Phoebes narration. Well this episode is just about the best yet. Highly recommend you watch in 4K and have a tissue close by, I still haven’t managed to make it though the intro without tearing up. Jump aboard for two days of Southward sailing From Cape Upstart to Percy Island (if we make it- and if you make it through the intro🥹)

With temperamental winds and a commitment to be back in the northern rivers over summer, we really tried our best this passage to make use with what we had. ...

Good day to you friends! Josh here, our latest episode is live over on YT. We discover a good marina is much like a good baby sitter, it gives us the confidence to leave the boat and enjoy ourselves without a worry. Magnetic Island Marina looked after Innerbloom so we could get off the boat for the first time in 8 months! Checkout what we got up to in this weeks episode

As beginner sailors in our first year of cruising we've tried our best to avoid marina's for the sake of savings. This comes with sacrifice - many a night of...

Hello again, Josh here. Here is this weeks episode exploring the western side of Hinchinbrook Island. Our dear friend Brett accompanies us up the creek this week chasing Barra, dodging crocs and drinking in the magnitude of this incredible island.
It’s pretty unbelievable! Dive in with caution 🐊

This week's episode we sail our Adams35 up the inside of Hinchinbrook Island. Barramundi fishing and croc spotting! We reconnect with our friend, Brett and h...

Hello my friends, Josh here! We are into our third time uploading this weeks ep to YT 😅 Third times a charm so jump aboard for an exploration to Dunk Island. This place is propper tropical with rainforest and coconut trees to boot. We work through the challenges of live aboard cruising enjoying every stop along the way, hope you do too!

When you're sailing with your partner, you're either trading smiles or trading glances. We're doing both this episode as we sail from Goold to Dunk Island an...

Hey crew! Josh here sharing this weeks video on our favorite spot from the first season of us cruising up the QLD coast. Hinchinbrook island is something you have to see to believe. The anchorage at Zoe Bay offers an infinity edge pool spilling into a waterfall that looks over a coconut tree lined bay. The 1200m peaks on this island make it resemble something truely unique. Jump aboard and please mind the crocodiles 😁

It's often that Josh and I say to each other "this is the most beautiful place we've been to yet", in fact, it's almost every new anchorage we find. But THIS...

G’day g’day! Josh here letting you know that our latest video is live over on YouTube. Phoebe has composed an extended cut this episode as we sail to one of our favorite anchorages of the season - Zoe Bay on Hinchinbrooke Island. This episode is raw, real and stripped back as we share more of whats it’s like for us as a young couple living and crusing together full time on our 35ft Adams - Innerbloom. We also set a stern anchor for the first time too which I’m super stoked on sharing the result as it allowed us to exist in this very rolly anchorage. See you there!

Sailing is not always as it seems. With exhaustion and loneliness, uncomfortability and stress comes tension. In this raw episode, the ever changing moods of...

Hello my friends, it’s Cap’n Josh here!
This weeks episode sees us fill the sails as we start moving north up the coast again. We learn a bit more about Innerbloom’s design which helps us understand how we can work with her to improve our sailing, and it works! We set a cracking average speed and celebrate island life with coconuts at the picturesque Orpheus Island. Come on then, jump aboard 😁

This episode, we're leaving Townsville to continue north for the next 3 weeks. As the coastline becomes more tropical with every new anchorage, so do we beco...

Get comfy for this 4K immersive experience and turn up the volume because there are some cracking tunes in this one! Big love from Innerbloom xx

You don't have to break the bank to have fun while cruising - all you need is a little enthusiasm to seek out the experiences that surround you. Instead of p...

G’day again, Josh here!
Our latest episode is live over on YouTube. We really love this one! I believe it really captures the feeling of life onboard Innerbloom, cruising as beginners and the constant challenges we face. It’s not all fun and games but the hard work makes the good all the sweeter, that’s life right?

Hello dear friends, Josh here - our latest episode is out and we love it! My mate Jack is aboard as we sail with the last of the wind out to the Great Barrier Reef for a few days off glass out. We time it perfectly to dive in the best conditions yet, I almost spear my first Spanish Mackerel, Phoebe does her best free diving without a weight 😆 and Jack has his mind blown. We love this episode and hope you do too. Cheers guys 💛

We're super excited to share this week's episode with you - we're two days into the 10 day passage with Josh's mate, Jack, and we're heading out to, you gues...
