Ep 17. Sailing Soraya - Sailing our small yacht to the Whitsunday Islands Down Under

Join the adventure as we sail our tiny home “Soraya”, a Sparkman and Stephens 30, living off grid through the Cumberland Islands. Like the Whitsundays, they are part of the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park… but less accessible to tourists.

We find ourselves almost completely alone on the incredible Keswick Island, and get some local insight into the daily life and challenges of the few residents on the Island.

We Island hop through the Cumberland’s in search for a comfortable anchorage, and make it to the Whitsundays with some time to spare.. allowing us to soak in the magic of the world famous Whitehaven Beach.
