Welcome back to another episode guys!! In this video we swap our tiny home on wheels for a home that floats and sail the Whitsundays for 5 nights!!
Now this trip has been something we have wanted to do for so long and we can tell you that it was one of the most incredible and memorable trips we have ever done!!!
There is loads of information in this video about how we did it and everywhere we went. There is amazing scenery, adventure and a lot of relaxation. Strap yourselves in with a cold bevvy and we hope you enjoy this episode. We have a sneaking suspicion you just might start planning your own whitsunday adventure after watching this!!
Cheers Legends – Justin, Bec & the crew…..

It all started whenβ¦
In December 2015 we packed up and hit the road for what we thought would be a 12 month Lap of Oz. Fast forward 4 years and we decided to create a video series of our travels to show you all what itβs like to live life on the road!!

πLittle Jack had us in stitches with his girlfriends mums sunnies, and the mix up! Chi chi.. classic! ππ
jack is getting really good in front of the camera! allways so good so see the kids having so much fun!
Hi there, did you ever try hoisting those sails off camera, itβs a learnt skill and definitely a confidence sport, but once youβve mastered it, you would love it! You had the perfect weather to put those sails up where you could of turned off the engines and eased your way along with building up your tolerance, and during your little rough passage to butterfly bay a little bit of head sail or main sale would have helped stability a little..good episode all round! The tiger shark that appeared, my husband said they are showing up as people anchor, ( becoming predatory) and you should wait a while before diving in for a swim, there were five attacks in three weeks in Sid harbour less than two years ago! Glad you enjoyed!
Your constant smiles said it all thanks for sharing loving your adventures, but this one was special.

If Gilligan's Island taught us anything it's Beware the three hour cruise.

Unreal!!
Loved this episode. I've been on a bareboat holiday in the Whitsundays on a monohull with experienced sailors, but if I was to do it again with out them, I would definitely go for the catamaran option. It looks like you didn't use the sails at all after the initial lesson, is that the case?
Awesome video guys. Did this same trip about 13 years ago on a 43 ft Catamaran with the family of 3 kids also. We went in January, so it was an absolute necessity for us all to have stinger suits on while swimming. Out of interest, what month were you there?
Keep the videos coming. Love watching them ππ
i need to know what that guitar riff is that plays in all your videos i just love i want to listen to it when i go on my trips
lmao i have rented that yatch
Me and my mrs just watched this and this video was absolutely amazing and now itβs on our βone day listβ.. another great video keep it guys weβre watching all your videos ππ½ππ½ππ½
Another great video guys! The Whitsundays must be on everyone's bucketlist after viewing this. Thanks for the info on Ninja Snorkels β I ordered some for my grandkids! Safe driving folks.
You can see the happiness on everyone's face. If we can all live like this then it won't have low birth rate problem in Australia. Well done guys!
Brilliant guys, I was fortunate enough to take my children there at the same ages, Shame that you didn't stop at Whitehaven beach and Hook island, epic, spin out seeing that Tiger shark in Cid Harbour after the recent fatal attacks
Did you guys sail at all?
brought a smile for the whole hour , good stuff
Sensational , its now on the Bucket list . Thankyou so much you guys!
Wow, incredible. What month did you go?
How good is it!! Check out the one we did a couple of years ago on my channel. I've done this about 5 times now ππΌ
Excellent video! Love it!
Damn just watched this again dreaming of when we can do what you guys did π
Did you guys sail at all or just use to motor to cruise around? Cheers
Magic trip guys
Hey guys, I felt like some ocean breeze so I re-watched this episode. You guys need to re-book and do this sojourn once EVERY year!!! I looked like so much fun the second time around and that it was SO GOOD for the kids. I don't know if you can remember your time doing this, but It was great to watch again…you should do it all again, just for those of us who live vicariously through you all!!!
Hey guys, Great video I have booked a Lagoon 40 for 10 nights in December with my wife and two daughters, I was so encouraged to see that you caught that Spanish mackerel as that is one of my first boxes to tick off the checklist. I noticed that you didn't have the sails up much at all was that by choice or is motoring encouraged In the limited space between the islands?
FANtastic, great to watch U all have FUN!! Enjoyed your experience! We have stayed at Airlie Beach caravanning and day trip to Hamilton – absolutely beautiful!!
O.M.G!!! Bucket list stuff! So jealous! It looks amazing!
Wow!!..that was so nice to watch!! , catching fish and cooking it up with water view around u, sailing from island to island, snorkeling and watching the sunrise and sunsets wth a glass of wine BLISSS!!.. what a beautiful experience to have! ..canβt believe you donβt even need a boat licence for it..this has now got me thinking I NEED DO DO THIS TOO!π€©ππππ΄π₯βοΈ
Your got rocks in your head to swap caravan for a boat, but I wish you all the best
Wow, your videos are amazing what a life! great insight for what we need for our family Thank you.
Wow, what a wonderful trip. Was at the Whitsunday's in 2006 and enjoyed it so much. Lovely place, enjoyed Whitehaven Beach. Thanks for sharing
The drone malfunction may have been a local yacht with anti drone tech which jams the drone to increase privacy for its guests π
Hey Justin great vid .. what was that worth for 5 days legend π€
Hi guys great video. What was your experience on boats before this trip. You have inspired me to take a week with my wife and do this trip. I've had fishing boats but never a sail boat. Also I would like to recommend my wife's book to you for your Kids, dallyanddash, an Australian educational book. Keep up the great videos, Brent
That was Magic.
Thanks for the Tour and Tips π€π»
Top show great family you have me forever
i thought kids under 13 have to wear life jackets
