departing the brookes for beaver reef

we've reminded ourselves of taking the

time to explore the Anchorage's we

stopped at is key to filling her joy

bank it was a very light winter day and

we'd set the sails in the hope of the

breeze to take us out to the reef but in

the end we filled the head sail to stop

it flogging you normally feel the law

and Paulson sort of neither we typically

put up 30 to 50 meters of line when

trawling and check it now and then to

see if we've picked up weed or a fish

[Music]

it's the widen cut fish fish

let's go over there

[Music]

David Genet we're hunting for fish were

hunting for fish

radhiya hey good morning

so yeah we took off about

maybe an hour ago there's no breeze

which is actually what we want to come

out to the reef and we are heading for

be very Beanery it's got a white sandy

kay there and Taylor ethnic store has

got a white sandy pay also and I'm

really hoping to get on it

a laser bout on it had this thought of

it being in a sort of a 50s movie with a

beach umbrella lazing out in the K in

the middle of nowhere

that's my plan we'll see how it goes

I've been hunting these caves all the

way up the coast so I'm trying to pull

this one off although we don't have a

beach umbrella so yeah we won't get that

shot

anyway it's a glorious day as you can

see blue skies so this is where we were

headed

beaver wreaths and I was pretty excited

to spot it from a few miles out

crystal-clear water and a white sandy

cave we weaved our way quietly through

the bommies to a sandy patch anchored up

and soon went ashore we were amazed by

the amount of sea birds out there it was

quite a thing beaver kay can be found

just offshore from Mission Beach in Far

North Queensland with coral gardens and

walls as deep as 22 meters it was a

superb place to explore unfortunately we

lost a dive camera to Neptune but I can

assure you shark le is one to put on the

bucket list playing about in these

crystal-clear waters was so relaxing we

couldn't get enough of it it felt as if

we were on a summer holiday and we

lapped up the sunshine playing like

children in this beautiful environment

we really hope that you can put yourself

in this picture

[Music]

after a couple of days of adventure and

discovery we set sail one afternoon for

our next stop of the brook islands the

breeze was going to be fairly light so

we decided to dust off the spinnaker and

give it a run the things you can hide

they're all essential pieces on the boat

though

so we're just getting a spinnaker out

gonna have to spinning around this after

day

[Music]

it's like oh that [ __ ]

[Music]

not really

that cuz other moments on my project

like this to split this natural so it's

still comfortable to sleep on but at all

SIA is easy to excess forward stuff have

time to over lockers animators banks

anyways the top the list

[Music]

typically one of us will haul the sock

up the halyard while the other prepares

the lines and shapes in the cockpit the

sock is then pulled up to let the

spinnaker fly free

[Music]

okay so the trick with running this

spinnaker is win that love edge so I'm

up near the bar and that's the front

edge of the spinnaker and win that edge

love when you see it

flapping like this that's when you cheat

on so you haul in on your sheet line

just very gently it stood up the game of

of tweaking movements when you're

running a spinnaker so you haul in until

that edge it'll sort of fold and then

when it comes out nice and straight

that's when you know it's flying at its

best and then you gently watch it and

you gently ease the sheet line out just

until it's nothing just a tiny bit and

that's when you'll get a really nice

round

all right down went around with me

spinnaker so it's fun to watch I'll just

see if I can show you hopefully Darren's

running the sheet line for me

[Music]

on my to work at whether it's in the

wrong places

that's the boats plate picks up picks up

let's go in the right way and if it's

not put it back to where it was it's

pretty easy

with the day of blowing nicely it was

time to do some exercise and enjoy the

late afternoon sale

I always find it very hard to leave

those amazing places I wanted to stay

out therefore I could just live out

there on one of those coral caves just

the sand was so fine and like silica it

was just so it was was like being on a

beach in the middle of the ocean oh it

isn't a beach in the middle of the ocean

it's just so special it's just so rare

that you come by these occurrences you

know and we've had a few though on the

Queensland Coast it is pretty cool

wasn't that bad

oh yeah a little general so yeah it was

just that was just heaven it was just

heaven and I I vote for staying longer

we can't think there's I want some

coconuts

so we're going to a coconut Island to

gather some coconuts yeah I can't be

with any coconuts okay bloke can't be

without his coconuts let's try my

honeymoon so yes if you can get yourself

out to a coral cay or a Sankei highly

recommend it

we just felt like we were in our own

magical little heaven yeah it's

certainly a place for you in the mouth

what the blood pressure come down a bit

yeah

magic pretty good wasn't it why do I

have to say when we jumped off the boat

for that swimmer but later on the the

tide was coming back in again and it was

fair ripping the current wasn't it

because we were only in about three

meters deep of water at that stage and

yeah so I think just filling in so much

and so quickly that was

yeah that was quite the current and if

we weren't good swimmers you could find

yourself a long way away from your boat

yeah yeah luckily we heard the tender hi

hanging off the back and yeah good one

to throw a knotted line out the back

just to make sure that you've got

something to grab onto in such a

scenario is that ya weren't it beautiful

though

so now we're havin it awesome down with

sail - Brooke Island Corp Island thanks

bye honey and yeah we'll probably get in

there a bit late and tomorrow do a

little bit of a coconut ocean radio my

luck

on with our chill-out sail is pretty

good it's pretty lovely

they'd not Safari I'm making five and a

half knots yeah what's that

[Music]

so yes I'm starting to feel stronger now

after my grape juice fast and I've been

building up on fruits for a week and

then vegetables so now eating lots of

nice sort of yummy green vegetables and

that's the way of building back up again

after having done such a long well yeah

I guess it is such a long bars has been

six months of just raw fruit and veg

the grape juice had a thoroughly good

clean-out and yeah feeling really good

so we just had to keep doing our

exercises and taking my good hubs and

all this well and so under the glow of a

beautiful sunset we snuck the spinnaker

and fit the heady for a night sail into

our anchorage well good morning we came

in last night around about 7:30 in the

evening and drop anchor here at the

Brooks lovely calm Anchorage and working

this morning there is a bit of haze

around there must be some smoke a fire

on land somewhere causing all the smoke

and the haze but the curious thing about

this morning is actually that you can't

see it because it's in the Sun at the

moment there's a vessel over there and

it's very much parked up on the reef and

we've been looking at it through the

binoculars and we can't see an anchor

chain out which seems strange because if

you had run your vessel up on a reef and

then gotten rescued you thought you

might have put an anchor out but we

don't know we can't see exactly because

of the angle of that the vessel is on at

the moment compared to us so we're just

going to check actually bit of Mariners

code to make sure there aren't any lost

souls on board

and yeah

anyway that's what we have to do right

now

well that's difficult she's uh

too hard on the ground isn't she bad out

on the ground they've already been

someone's already been here hope it's

the owners to take stuff off the vessel

while they look at things as hatches

missing and anchor missing anchor chain

that's why we couldn't see the anchor

chain yeah there's a lot of stuff

missing off this boat so hopefully it's

the owner who's got it and not naughty

people

anyway I feel surprised if there's

anyone on board

considering there's been other people

here already so that's a bit sad to find

a vessel stuck up on a reef there must

have been motoring quite hard to get up

here because it's very shallow anyway

another interesting occurrence she's a

big ship she must be 70 feet

[Music]

this is what you see when you see it

stricken vision feels very said to be

sitting on a boat that Sun at the end of

its life hopefully it's gonna get

salvaged over taken away off that's a

beautiful way

getting cleaned up but currently the

ocean is taking it away sometimes

obviously being on board

taken quite a lot of gear and see the

light drop down the back wall - yeah

very sad very strange to be sitting on

us on a stricken vessel in

very sad in days

[Music]

it's not what's meant to happen to

business anyway the good thing was it's

not one what we're on board

stripping themselves

[Music]

on our way home we spotted some wreckage

along the beach and in the water so we

stopped to collect as much as we could

anyway we picked up a little bit of

rubbish and the best live are they take

it off the shore yeah take it off the

shore it's amazing turtles and stuff oh

please this type of stuff and it locks

their bales up and needless to say what

happens next so yeah make sure you try

and take everything home with you if you

can't for the future of ESA well yeah

their little friends are Turtles yeah

what happens with the turtles we just

learned this recently as they are they

get a syndrome called floaters syndrome

and which means they can't dive and then

they're at risk or like it's sun-baked

and then they're at risk of getting hit

by other vessels and predators so yeah

it's we do try our best to pick up

flotsam and jetsam when we can and take

it to shore and yeah I encourage you to

take your rubbish and your bits and bags

and balloons and whatever you've got

with you or you find and get it out of

the water because yeah it's really

detrimental to turtles and sea life

especially anyway I think it's about

time we might go and see if we can grab

some coconuts cool

a coconut and a thank you so much for
