OUR STORY:
Sick of covid lockdowns in Melbourne Australia, John and Kristina purchased a 50ft Jeanneau Sun Odyssey with just a few weeks sailing experience. They set sail in June 2021 and sailed north to the Great Barrier Reef in just 4 weeks.

Fabulous to see people having the courage to follow their dreams ❤️
One quote we keep going back to "You can. You Should. You will." It certainly does take courage at times to follow your dreams, but it is so rewarding!
Happy sailing guys
This series you’ve made is literally my favourite thing on CZcams. It’s inspiring me to get my own adventure happening soon. Thanks for letting us strangers come along for the ride! Appreciate you guys a ton :)
Good luck to both of you.
Thanks David!

It would be great if you could share a video about how you learned to sail, your legs of experience and how you are finding handling a 50ft boat… love the channe

An adventure needs to be very near the edge...someone said, an adventure is a near suicide with a way left for escape...

Good luck to the both of you. Jeanneau can't go wrong! she will keep you safe out there. I sailed 28k from europe to asia on my voyage 12.5 which is the predecessor that your series was based on. Work hard on her and have fun!
Wow that’s amazing Rick! She’s been a good ship to us so far, glad you had a smooth trip on yours, sounds like a hell of an adventure 🤙🏻
I think this is the right decision. I sincerely hope you will not regret that you changed the city shackles for freedom. Seven feet under the keel! Greetings from Siberia!

Congratulations with your new life!
Hi from our 23ft 😳 in the Netherlands
I bought a Cavalier 37 in Mooloolaba on May 4th. Covid has stopped me from flying up there and sailing back. All the best with your new adventure.
Living my dream! Sorry I didn’t see your video until now (even though I was a subscriber from the start), been too busy watching all my regular sailing channels 😉👍
I saw "Episode 1" so I'm like "yes!", in a few years I can be one of those "been here since the beginning" people. :)
What a beautiful thing to say. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you SO much for being here. We don’t know where this journey will take us, but we sure are grateful that you’re here with us for the ride 🙏🙏❤️ Much love
You are both amazing
Great 1st episode, guys‼️✌️ And, yes, I did subscribe. 🙂👍 Best wishes.
We subscribed too! A terrific video indeed. We are currently circumnavigating the globe and loving every moment of it!
Hi just watched your first episode. Congratulations. Aweosme boat. We have one too and love it. Looking forward to following your travels. All the best Hugh
Cool video and lovely boat. Congratulations.
This is Awesome.....
I am watching from Bangladesh..
You are best bloger...
Your yacht is so cool 🙌🏼
Thanks hunni!!! 😗🥰 We love it too xx
Congrats, what a great adventure to go on.👍👍
Thanks Patrick! It’s a wild ride that’s for sure. Crazyyyy times ahead! 😃
Good luck guys. Just subscribed and will watch this journey with my kids.
Ohhhhh! How cool to watch it with your children!!! This is amazing. ❤️❤️ Say hi to them for us 😁 🙋♀️ 🙋♂️
Hi. Good luck. Looking forward to see next video.
Yahhhoooo! Just about to upload it tonight 🥰 x
Bon voyage!!🙂❤😇
Soon the waters will be as jammed as the highways. 😁
True!
Adventure: yes: extra work? Believe it. You two are young enough to enjoy a brief departure from the norm. Take your time and out no goals or time limits on yourselves.
Thanks Kirk! 😃😃
Good luck! All the best and fair winds! ;)
Pleased to have found you.
Watching from Melbourne
Watching from first episode
Just before the Covid lockdown of 270 days
Fair wind's and following sea's. ⛵ 🌞
Thank you 😊 Appreciate the love xx
Just came across you love the idea of what you will be doing, and will follow with great interest as it is something i would love to have done a few years ago, have loads of fun and be safe.
Thanks Ian! So far we’re loving it, hope you get to do it one day too! 😊
It is never too late to start! We just started and it is the best decision of our life!
You had me at the brief cameo of Jack Miller. Here's hoping he takes the 2021 championship!
❤️😍😂👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
This is my dream. I just need to figure out how to save to do it ASAP or earn funds while sailing. What an adventure! So jealous.
Holy cow! Always having to do work on the boat! It seems a bit overwhelming.
Michelle, too right, huge! More then we expected and it hasn’t stopped 🤪 always an ever growing list of jobs to get on top of, but it’s rewarding for sure haha
Very nice
Great looking forward to watch all episodes Find you through escapade guys
Ohh.. those bloody Aussie legends!!! WE LOVE THEM TO BITS!!!!! X
Enjoy and be safe out at sea
Great leap of faith. Better than looking at four white walls during the current times! Thanks for sharing ...
Looking forward to following your adventures especially since I will be following your footsteps somewhat having bought a boat in the Mediterranean to sail next year!
Oh wow! This is amazing! 😍 What a fabulous adventure that awaits you. You must be so excited!? I bet it couldn’t come soon enough!?
G'day from a chilly Sydney. Good luck. I follow heaps of couples a long way ahead of you guys BUT you'll be the first newbies that I'll be following from the very beginning. Exciting times. I wish you many 1000's of safe nautical miles. And please remember to show the good & the bad and to always keep it real. Take care.
We too love watching sailing couples on CZcams. As we travel the world we find so many perspectives and outlooks from the various channels we have seen!
I don't know why I'm so obsessed with sailing videos. This seems like it's going to be a good one. I live in New Orleans and have never sailed in my life! Don't know what my deal is.
Haha - it’s soo interesting hey!! It’s awesome you find it fascinating!! Who knows - one day you may have your own!! 🥰😃🙌
Nice...succes
Good luck...my dream too
Hope you get to do it yourself one day Kevin! : )
We are new to your channel and we are loving it, if you find yourselves in Lake Macquarie or Newcastle harbor on your way north and you need whatever, let us know.
Hey Trevor, sorry we missed your comment, that’s very kind of you, what a legend, thanks mate!
Very jealous, congrats guys.
Thanks so much for the love, and for being here on this new adventure. We’re grateful for your support 🥰🥰🥰🥰 because we’re new to this whole thing haha
You won't regret. Being on the water if like nothing else. Lots of work, but lots of memories as well.
The memories and adventure is worth it all! We couldn't agree more. Life on the water is our whole life now!
Awesome,congratulations,I hope you deducted a $1000. for every issue you found in the survey then add another 30% as your bargaining chip when you offer,it’s a buyers market atm.Just look at the yachts in Langkawi which are tax free as an example.safe sailing guys.
Hey SV Thora we purchased it from a friend of a friend so it was a little unconventional but we did do a survey, they missed heaps but I think we still did ok 😜
very lucky. you did something I wish I had done few years ago .
We have just started ourselves. It is NEVER TO LATE!
I just subscribed
Very cool - let’s see it guys!
I was just watching your Paris vlog and I was going to ask if you worked as a TV presenter or something along the lines of that - you have the voice of a TV journalist!! love your videos!
Lunch is the right decision :)
🍕🍔🌮🌭🍜🥗
Lol. John. 🤦♀️😆😂
So cool…I’m almost 60 years old and have lived a pretty good life, but looking back I wish I’d have been a little more adventurous. You guys are “living”!
Nice 👍👍 congratulations best wishes 😀😀😀
Thanks so much for watching! Appreciate the love 🥰🥰🥰 Can’t wait to show you what we do next!
Kristina x
Ok, this should interesting, a first time owner. Going to follow to see what happens next. All is good right?
Brave new adventure! New boat, new channel, positive mental attitude steals the show! At least once in a while. One half of the team can't hold up the vibe and succeed into the future, you'll get exhausted emotionally, the sea will work you out! Gorgeous boat! Left seat available with a pay cut!! Best of luck!
