Close to Breaking Point – Will we ever sail away and get back to cruising life?

After being tied to the dock overcoming health challenges for the last 20 months, we make final preparations to cast off the lines and sail north to the Great Barrier Reef. There’s a Costco trip to load our ketch with bulk provisions. We fill our fuel tanks with horrendously expensive diesel. A suitable weather window is found and we celebrate SV Our Dreamtime’s 40th birthday.

Then just as we’re ready to go we face yet another costly hurdle that has us near breaking point and wondering whether we’ll ever be cruisers again. Come for the ride as we experience the highs, lows and highs of liveaboard boat life.

The price of fuel is killing us so we did a Costco fill to try to save what we could.
