- You know it's good cruising when the next anchorage is better than the last, and it just keeps happening and happening. You find your favorite anchorage in all of Australia, and then the next one tops it. And the one after that is even better that the new one. Yep, life is good in Queensland as we sail up to the Great Barrier Reef.

ABOUT US: We are a family of five sailing around the world on a performance catamaran named "Archer" and sharing our adventures in family-friendly episodes every Tuesday!
OUR ROUTE: We departed the Boston area of the United States and sailed south to the Caribbean and then west through the Panama Canal. We have dealt with massive repairs in the South Pacific, the Coronavirus lock down in New Zealand, a Category 5 Cyclone in Fiji, and now we are cruising in Australia.
OUR PAST: You may remember us as "SV Honeymoon?" Ten years ago ("before kids"), we sailed a Lagoon 380 named Honeymoon halfway around the world to Sydney, Australia. Along the way we shared our experiences via UA-cam and, by happenstance, created one of the very first "sailing channels." We also realized what an incredible experience we were having and that someday we wanted to do it again, only this time with kids.

Some races are better left to a second place finish. Wise words indeed!
Spectacular Vid…. Loving your FamAdventures! Especially in Aussie Land!
As a child I would get lost in books of adventures in far away lands. As an adult I get lost in the sailing adventures of the sailing family and enjoy the most beautiful videos of blue waters and sensational tropical islands while sailing in the best of all the boats. This can only be made better by Elizabeth and her wonderful dancing moves!!! Thanks for the ride along...
The best videos out there!! Thanks
im glad you enjoyed our back yard
Loving the dance cooking… go girl
My northern back yard...I rode my E bike everywhere up there while camping. Will again soon.
You both are the best Mom and dad for your kids. Those kids do not know how lucky they are. I think when they are all grown up they will realise what a wonderful childhood they had. Well don mom and dad, you both are living the dream we all can only dream about.
I have learned so much about sailing just from listening to you. The little tips and pointers you drop into your conversation so very clearly shows that you're a sailor to the core. And there's no flexing, just a regular guy having a great time with his family.
Nice edit Seth 👍
Words can not describe the last moments of the video, seeing the rainbow come into view. Great footage, editing, and living the life! May one day, we all, see the same. Safe travels.
Glad you enjoyed it
Wow! That’s the only word that comes to mind. I love your narrations and how you explain what your doing. You are a very qualified sailor, and it comes through in your videos!! Well done.
As I’ve watched for a year now, seeing your kids grow, I can’t believe the experience you are giving them. When they become adults, you got to wonder if they will continue their life on the water travelling extensively as you and your wife have done. What seeds have you planted in their minds......Hmmm.
Again, thanks for sharing! Awesome videos!
What a legacy you are building for you boys. So many great memories and experiences.
Love the Tui t-shirt Seth ! Cheers from NZ
Love living vicariously with you guys, truely living. Another fantastic episode. Thankyou. Belated best to Hale.🎁
👍🇦🇺
You guys have to be the Best parents ever. You are living my Dream. Love the videos
Absolutely beautiful. Thank you for taking us all on your adventures ✌🏻
Can really see all the work that went into producing this piece. Like digging out the lighthouse footage. Just shoot me!
Your editing gets more an more amazing every single video!!!
Another amazing installment!
Great adventures for a great family. These memories will carry for a lifetime. It will be interesting to see where the next gen takes the wanderlust.
Your videos "taking me away" from mostly land locked Ohio. We do have Lake Erie, but to be on the ocean and see so many beautiful beaches-thank you for sharing with us. Love your drone views so much. Flying over the lighthouse with breathtaking view of the land below. You have the best channel!
Another great video - very inspirational!
Glad you enjoyed it!
cant often comment coz my smart tv is really dumb! if not to late you simply must call in at percy island. 70 miles SE of mackay. it has a lagoon which matthew flinders described as big enough for 13 of his majestys men of wars. rich history. love your vids, may build a cat one day. graeme
My backyard. Enjoy 👍🇦🇺🍻
This video harks back to a time of adventure and exploration. From reefs born a new to uncharted Islands and crystal blue water. Well done.
Another great video what a great family I watch all the sailing videos you're the best
Amazing video , thank you for sharing. Stay safe.
Absolutely love you guys.. I have been following you guys for years. Awesome video mate 👌👌
What a great way to raise a family.
Happy Birthday 🎊🎈🎂 Hale!!! I was so happy to see a new video! To echo others sentiments, I missed you all! It’s so much fun to travel around the world with you! I get to go to all the places I’ll only ever see thru your eyes! Much love from VT! Oh and you are the best parents ever! Keep up the great work!
When ya all get back to USA be sure to head to see ocracoke NC island lighthouse
It's really interesting to see our coast through the eyes of someone else. We live on the Gold Coast and with our sailboat and four wheel drive we spend as much time as possible in the spots you have just visited. Really enjoy your enthusiasm! Double Island has undergone such amazing changes. Used to be a caravan park there but storms took that out. Ten years ago the inlet was just a pond. Only recently could you risk a monohull in there. Just too shallow.
Love Elizabeth’s disco grooves 💃 😊.
I love the sailing family! You guys do it right, safely, and smiling all the way. Note; cruising as I know can become stressful and full of emotion so I never forget that watching your journey. It's great to be at anchor!
Another great episode, no matter that is was so short. I would love to see more of the family swimming, which I am sure they did around the wrecks. More you of and Elizabeth changing sails and showing setting up your nav. waypoints etc. Also showing your discussions on where you will go to next, who influences those decisions, what factors you think about when deciding a destination, etc. Even more of the problems and difficulties you face along the way. I'm sure you must have some. Seth, are you the only one that makes these decisions? It would be nice to know more and see more of the back story about/behind your travel decisions - the how and why you go where you go. 😄 If you don't mind and can fit that in. 👍 Wishing you ALL al the best for your upcoming travels and sails!
I believe that Seth makes none of the decisions. He always presents the information to the Queen for her to decide. You see, Seth is a very smart man. lol
Haha. James, you’re pretty right. I just skew the information a bit in my favor. :) You’ll see next week we include the decision to wait out the storm or run. We run. It’s a wet rite but we get out safe.
@@TheSailingFamily Oh, I am on to you Seth, I wasn't about to show your card though. Many videos ago I saw your presentation before you "left anyway." lol ;)
Another great episode guys great work it’s lovely to follow along , we have been following sine your race with the Z crew to Australia, and met you all momentarily on the Gold Coast . Great to see your finding and enjoying some of our fave places to hide out . I understand how far away you are now but have a great trip , you will enjoy our back yard .
Love the videos guys love how you are showcasing my country you are doing us proud cheers guys love your work
Thankyou for the video it was wonderful to see Australia in a different perspective and with the other watchers of your channel is a form of escape for me with being confined at home the last 18 month due to the virus. By the way a small tip for you if the stick on the pathway start moving it is not a stick! and also as i used to tell my children which have all grown up now not to worrying about the sharks due to they have been eaten up be the crocs.
It’s all about the memories.. you’re doing an awesome journey … thanks for sharing ☺️
As usual a fantastic video. Always look forward to your uploads.
Beautiful scenery thanks for sharing your amazing adventures 🥰⛵️⛵️
Glad you enjoyed it
Great video as usual! The whole Cooloola and Fraser area is great. I used to fly hang gliders about 35km up Teewah Beach in SE wind, Southern side of Doubble Island Point in Southerly wind, and when the wind is NE fly at Rainbow Beach. We both launched and landed on the Carlo Sandblow.
Another knock out feature rich episode. Stay safe y’all.
You guys inspire me to live the dream of circumnavigating with the family now rather than wait until the kiddos are older. Thank you for sharing. Also, where can one buy an Archer ball cap? I didn't see it in the store. I would love to get one for my son.
Beautiful places wish I was there. God bless you all be safe
Double Island Point is always good for a storm. The sandbar keeps getting bigger, it'll be interesting to see how big it gets.
Cheers guys
Beautiful country you have there. :)
👍👍👍👍👍
Great episode as always thanks for sharing!
I love that you love DI as locals call it. We are super blessed to live in this neck of the woods 😊🏝
So lucky!
Yeah Elizabeth! Safety Dance!!!
Hopefully you managed to sample some Bundaberg rum, although not too much as it can make you proper sick (at least it did to the 18 year old me!!)
Been following your adventures for a year or so and lovin the enthusiasm for everything you do!!! Happy bday Hale...11..pre-teenager! I have three daughters so living the life vicariously except for one thing...boys will eat you out of house and home, get another freezer! Note to Seth, dont follow the guy in front into an unfamiliar anchorage too closely (me ex instructor), he may be an idiot! But you seem well planned.
Have a great day Hale, the question at university "What were you doing on your 11th birthday" may cause you a few problems!
Australia gives me an idea. Some people pick up old plastic beach wreck, and bury it. They have a pirate camp in Australia where cruisers leave messages, and dates also their boat name on rustic signs. They sell honey on honner system. This old plastic could be melted down, and made into letters, artistic shapes, bird baths, bird houses, or you use your imagination of new ideas. There is a man on youtude making beautiful bowls with this eye sore. Another man is making rugged bar stool seats from plastic bottle caps. This could be done all over to make a better world. Fair Winds!
Australia has some of the most unique names for places.
Hope you had a Happy Birthday Hale🎂
Y’all should come to the outer banks of NC and see our lighthouses!
Happy Birthday Hale!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Very cool... Love the dance cooking.... :)
You guys Rock!
Love your videos
Thanks for sharing your adventures
Sail on !
Happy Birthday Hale!
Man you guys have stepped it up on filming ,cinematography and editing 👌👌
Thanks Mike!
That was Noosa in the distance, great surf spot when the swell is up.
Hey sailing family, I’ve been binge watching your entire journey over the past 3 weeks and I am in absolute love and awe. You guys are a shining light in a time of interest in todays world. I do have a question for further videos. I love the family friendly aspect and when Seth gets pretty technical with sailing. But, would you be able to describe the overall design of your boat? Types of sails and what they do, design shape, your electronic equipment, solar panels, etc. would love this. Thank you and keep on keeping on!
That's a great idea. We'll do a tour and features video soon!
Reallly nice video!
Well I missed you when you stopped into Bundy, which was a shame as I'd thrown you a bottle of our rum. Maybe next time.....
Thank for share!!!!!
Imagine if you sailed in the other direction and each anchorage was worse than the last...I guess it just depends which direction you travel. 😄😁😄
Great
Thks!!
Very nice places👌
amazing
Safety Dance still is a good song to dance too!!
Some great time lapse footage there. I'm guessing you did not see any dingos, thats a crazy warning sign!
Just a spectacular video! I also
love that you show the maps as it helps to visualize your courses. How long do you expect to stay in Australia, and when will you return to the US? You all are living the best life!
"The dingo ate my baby!"
Wow!!!! That thunderstorm! How can you protect Archer from lighting strikes?
You can't! Scary stuff. ~S
@@TheSailingFamily So all those gizmos at boat shows that they market as devices to place atop your mast to protect all your electronics, do nothing to protect your boat from lighting strikes?
@@TheSailingFamily HH can!!!!!
Hey Seth, love your channel and family. Quick question, what sunglasses are you wearing? Very cool
On our way up in August, we did not stop at Tangalooma. It was packed out.
Double Island is frign great, we stayed a day. Just like staying in a marina.
Was also packed out when we arrived but cleared out the next day.
Great place.
You guys coming further north? i.e. Townsville or further
All the way to Lizard!
@@TheSailingFamily will wave as you come past Palm Island. Our Cat is on the hard in Townsville now, just to be on the safe side with cyclone season.
Been awhile since my last video ,missed you guys :)
More to come!
👍
Loved this video.. you guys always make me feel good about the world (or better at least). What kind of furling system is that on your reacher. I don't think I've ever seen something that comes down like that before.
It’s a ProFurl system. Works great!
@@TheSailingFamily Those are cool. Never sailed on a boat with a loose furling sail that comes down that easily. Thanks!
DROP INTO WOODGATE YOU WILL LOVE IT ITS NICE
👍😎👍💕
Can you share the VPN information and promo code in the notes or on your website? I watched this episode on a treadmill and we’re trying to find it but haven’t come up with it yet. Thanks!
Hey guys curious about the red hulls is your boat hot inside as a result?
Not at all. Red doesn't get hot to the touch more than the white.
That was Urangan not Bundy!
I wonder how dyneema shrouds would handle lightning.
Ours are Kevlar. Glad we didn’t find out.
Are there "lightning rods" for boats?
There are, actually. But then you are really advertising your boat to the storm. You increase your chances of a hit, but maybe you diffuse it and let it go around the boat and into the water. Maybe. So no, there is no sure fire way to deal with it.
You went to Frazer Island and you didn't go tubing down the creek?
What creek!?
@@TheSailingFamily Eli Creek ;)
Where are you all how come you don’t post anymore.
Australia is under a extreme covid lock down. Just curious why we see no covid lock down signs in the areas of Australia you are visiting.
Queensland shut its state borders and never let it in. So we’ve been incredibly lucky that this is where we wanted to be. Life is completely normal!
wats up dad you stressed? Getting on the boys ... bread in the water, headphones and then smile not goof off Hmmm ive never seen this before from you
Love the Fiji BItter T-shirt..memories..wish we were living your life..love the videos
So when you go for happy hour on the beach with all these people, you are not concerned about Covid?
Nope. There isn’t a single case in the community here. Delta never got in. The entire state of Queensland has no masks. Crazy, right?!
@@TheSailingFamily Lucky you! :)
Can I join your family :))
Hi Family would you be able to join #TeamSeas and promote the clean up of our ocean. It is a great cause!!
We’ll check it out!
@@TheSailingFamily Thank you so much!! ❤️👌Like always keep up the good work 💪
What are you feeding your boys I swear they grow an inch every video.
Haha. They eat more than us, that's for sure. In fact, they're eating right now!
