in this week's episode we bid farewell

to fellow sailor hands my honey tries to

pull off a hat mutiny as we head out to

blasts off Kay and I show you how to

board your tender like a pro if you

caught us last week you will have found

us sailing to Cannes with an overnight

stop at fitzroy island to explore its

unique past our final leg two cancer's a

feisty one we then checked out what we

named the river of broken dreams hanging

on the pick and cans is pretty

interesting

you see Navy ships cruising by there's a

fairly big marina a cruise ship terminal

and a long stretch of Pearl moorings to

meet the needs of the boating community

[Music]

so it is a glorious day and Kansas

morning and the winds have dropped up

we've been waiting waiting now's the

time for us to get out to the roof and

then we're just going to go to the

markets and provision this is a

beautiful along here the markets are

super the quality of produce is

excellent with a huge variety available

you can find almost any type of fruit

and veg spices and herbs that you would

want here and with much of it being

locally grown it lasts much longer on

that afternoon we bid farewell to our

friend hands a solo sailor who was off

on his annual migration to the Louisiana

so that's gorgeous friend hands who is

up up to the Louisiana today hands does

a super project where he takes solar he

goes up to Luisi eights and gives power

solar power to people in their villages

in their homes and he lights up their

worlds he's a super guy so if you do see

it's BC goon anywhere on your travels

especially in Louisiana it goes every

year and continues his great work can't

give the man a big hug and help him out

because he really does deserve it he's a

super super guy you know it's funny I

imagine a lot of people wouldn't even

blink an eye at the fact that they have

power and they switch their lights on

and and I can see what they're doing

when they when they want to and there's

a lot of people out there in the world

who simply don't have that luxury so

yeah it's it's good to see that people

like hands are around and being nice to

as many people as you can it's really

good

so yeah we're gonna do what shit's with

him so we listen out on the a chip and a

to talk in the morning and six o'clock

in the evening and just make sure he's

okay for the crossing he probably take

her might take him five to eight days

and yeah give him a bit of update on

weather although he does have that

ability himself it doesn't be easier I

guess he's a solo sailor so he's got a

lot to do and yeah

unfortunately somebody naughty

stole our bicycles yesterday from the

bike racks on shore and yeah a bit of a

blow because we bought them after I got

my cancer diagnosis and we really have

been making an effort because we don't

really have room for bikes on board but

we've making a huge effort to bike every

other day and get super fit and super

healthy so yeah but someone else deemed

that they one of them wanted their bikes

more than we needed them so here we're

back on the foot power with the weather

clear it was finally time to head out

and explore the reef there isn't it just

the most beautiful day absolutely primo

conditions yes oh darn Darren had a bit

of an adventure yesterday which I

thought was pretty funny

I had to go and rescue him in the end

what happened was as we first arrived in

Ken's we've been using our mercury which

is our main outboard for our tinder and

we decided to switch that over to the

Yamaha and give the Yamaha a run while

we were in Ken's

and yesterday he took off up the river

to go exploring in the mangroves and see

what was around about it's quite a big

river system and Ken's where we are and

we've been gone about four hours or so

it was coming on four was about four

o'clock in the afternoon I think coming

on four sunset and you gave me a call to

say that he actually the Yamaha was

playing up and he was having trouble

getting back home

the current up the river runs at about

two to three knots sometimes and so he

was pushing against the current and the

tide was coming in and Yamaha wasn't

giving him any power at all so he was

just chugging along and sometimes he was

going backwards and he really wasn't

getting anywhere at all so I had to

weigh anchor and go and rescue my honey

anyway that's a bit of a catch-up of

what we've been doing in the last few

days and we're just about to come

through a channel that takes us through

two reefs and then we should pop into

less okay so that should be good yeah

really looking forward to to exploring

this little region I was thinking these

were a bunch of dip skiers got together

for a chat when we were further off and

I couldn't quite see it but they're

actually the channel markers I went and

had a look on the chart

xuxa he's looking shallow

Macon's elf hat

to have a problem

pass it on

let's take a closer look at it show it

there's bodies everywhere

look at what

what we're up against

it's like an 81 class pet

now we can recycle

the strength that a hawk

the rest of it

I'm thinking it might be great right

it's nest

some Holland

jam it up in a tree and a little hood

in this

pull over the place

every way you put a fan

anyway

give up for a year money

you should give up on

it's here where attitude

I'll spend some time

it's a problem blesseth k was starting

to look a little crowded by the time we

arrived and no wonder it's the only

sandy cave for miles where people can

walk about and swim off and with the

weekend where they're looking so good it

seemed everyone was out for a good time

we found a nice spot clear of bombings

to the east of the K so after doing a

few chores we hopped in the water for

our daily exercise Sir Ian weighs 12 ton

and I find a weekly dose of

weightlifting extremely beneficial for

my health

it's also a fun way to practice

breath-hold techniques for free diving

[Music]

[Music]

below the surface of the shallow reef we

found a variety of fish gathering in

their various homes and communities some

people say the reefs are only good for

hunting I often find more delight in

watching these guys interact with each

other they can be so comical and they

live in a world so different to ours yet

not so different if they still have

homes and their suburbs to cruise about

in where we see a sponge it might be a

shady spot to hang out under some fish

are home buddies and some are

adventurers

just like us so it's pretty cool and I

often simply enjoy gliding along from

above watching the goings-on

[Music]

fantastic

Crisco

waiting for the warm clear waters of Far

North Queensland

[Music]

gorgeous night at sea in the world

[Music]

[Music]

so after a long plane is beautiful

waters we headed home

neither MacDowell or I could take our

eyes off that turquoise water the color

was so captivating we knew we've made

the right decision to keep traveling

despite of the current challenges we

faced our philosophy of keep it light

keep it fun and keep it free was paying

dividends in our hearts and souls

[Music]

[Music]

so after a full day and a quick haircut

thermic dazzle it was time for some rest

[Music]

I did a pretty good job and exhibit

where I got caught back row and he's got

dinner and the left side of his head but
