in this episode we take you through a

typical day on board where we dive with

sharks find huge clams do some boat work

sail to an island and go foraging that's

actually not a bad place of Watson last

week you found us exploring guy cannery

we had a dolphin escort upon departure

on a leisurely sail to the profilers

where we spotted a coconut tree this

sent us into a frenzy pedaling the

shallows to reach the shore to undertake

a coconut hunting expedition of mass

proportions

well good morning I thought I'd do

something a little bit different today

and take you through a typical day a day

on board so here I am in the aft cabin

and it's just gone sunrise it's a

beautiful morning and I have all the

hatches open there's a lovely breeze

blowing through and I've been doing my

morning stretches and my morning

meditations and I'm feeling very

grateful for this there's a wonderful

day ahead and first beautiful world that

we get to explore so yeah MacDowell has

been up for a little while and I think

[Music]

after breakfast we catch the weather via

HF radio so just catching the weather on

the 8 check and in Queensland that is at

around about 7:30 in the morning and

7:45 and evening so we just don't know

check out what the weather is doing for

the next couple of days and see how long

we can stay out for and if we need to

make a run

what are you doing my honey-bunny up -

oh just having a little check in the

engine room done a fair bit of motoring

yesterday so I'm just no just checking

her out making sure she's all good for

the next adventure

ok ah just the oil water belts staying

lean anything that that may be loose or

you know wiring harness if the wiring

harnesses loose and it's rubbing against

the engine it could eventually rub

through and even cause a fire which

would be catastrophic

so yeah just little things like that

that make for a good day silent good hey

good on you my honey when I leave you to

it alright yeah so we're just loading up

on a bit of orange and then we had a

golf and you go for a snorkel when

Darren put the drone up he found a cat

away in the reef approximately that

direction wasn't it ok it's

approximately that direction so with

that cat away you'll be getting the

currents cutting in from the ocean side

and hopefully a lot more fish life so we

shall see very exciting

he's so excited he's I'm totally excited

anyway I'll finish my orange and off we

shall go nice we might see that many in

the gray suits again hey what's you know

I'm not a big fan but I'm on a little

goes take it here first though Darren

cleans out the little creatures that

tend to love making homes between the

wheels of our log luckily they're easily

rehomed with some gentle persuasion with

this done we're off to explore the reef

sorry

every dive is a new adventure that it is

daran chicks the anchor then quickly

finds himself a large clamshell while

Meg finds herself a brief you to play

with we find the variety and each reef

pretty interesting where this reef is

quite shallow in areas and has less

colorful coral with more smaller reef

fish some are the exact opposite with

deeper drop-offs and a much bigger sea

life to experience

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

a wonderful got the shot confident it

was pretty funny go down what do you say

but I don't I don't know he was there

for initially yeah he done a loop around

us already in I was petting around with

a camera trying to get the camera ready

and then I ducked dive down I grabbed

you on the fender let you know he was

there and you kept Carolyn I didn't feel

it

you end in one sort of the Bamiyan he

wintery on the other side and then I

thought you're gonna pop up I'm like

hello hello there you are

Mary was Mickey

I hate was pretty casual though that's

the thing he just sort of like oh well

we'll have a look see what he does and

he just watched us and yeah and then he

he wandered off and left us to it well

it was pretty funny though back at the

ship and we hoist the dinghy in

preparation to depart

whoa so we have decided that we will

take off today because we did here on

the weather that there is there are

stronger winds coming and we don't

really want to be here in the stronger

winds trying to get out of here in the

middle of the night maybe makes things a

little bit difficult when you're at a

reef Anchorage I'm gonna make a lovely

smoothie get us underway

let's put your swimming like that we are

on weightless huh yeah baby look at that

delicious being a tidy Kiwi we're off

now Darren's just up the mast is doing

Bobby watch for thee

just pretty much gonna come back on

track and follow our track out of here

so I'll just show you

so this is a track out and we were

anchored here we did try to anchor in a

couple of places but

we found Bobby's Bobby's so we moved and

we're following this check out fairly

westerly direction I'm just coming up on

a bit where I've got to go around to

balmy

but

yeah we actually just went over a balmy

that we didn't see on the way in so it's

still good to have Darrin up on the bear

or somebody up on the bear

checking things out so just wanna tell

you that's on the chart we were anchored

and 30 uniquely at the border but

and on the chart it registers that we

five minutes

goodbye the

sai-yuk

I'll show you what my honey is up to

you've been my guiding light

we already knew that anyway didn't we

Darren's it's to to cut up some coconuts

so that I can start preparing dinner

yeah baby

delecia more although quite a bit of it

ended up in our bellies mixing a raw

coconut curry is delicious and easy

simply NAB the meat and water from one

or two coconuts then blended together to

make your coconut milk mix in your

favorite curry paste dice whatever

vegetables you have available then leave

it to sit for a few hours we snagged on

melons to add energy and by then the sea

breeze had kicked in for a steady run to

dunk Ireland

[Applause]

[Music]

[Music]

so there was a slight Cyclone Yasi gosh

I don't know maybe ten years ago and all

these poor coconut trees along the

foreshore got pained but there's a lot

of coconut trees growing on this dunk

island so if you are a forager like us

this is the place to come

I'm just checking out this little tree

over here so there's lots of new coconut

trees budding so yeah if you give them a

few years so if you're in the mid at the

moment sailing around the mid and you're

planning on crossing the Pacific and

coming to Australia then I would make

dunk island to stop because because by

about then these coconuts will be

fruiting oh oh they're all young too

young to pick leave them to grow okay

look at that these guys they're healthy

healthy clear the coconuts they know

where to find the water righty-o let's

go and see what McDowell's been up to

that's actually not a bad place of

flotsam I reckon I might be able to use

it for something

Taron old Toby odd nuts again check this

out

the interweaving of nature

who you can tell a good coconut if it's

got weight in it it's got water and so

that's gonna be really nice to drink and

because it's quite it's quite weighty

and it's sort of greenish brown and when

they get browner the water disappears

from them but they've got more meat so

it depends what you're looking for a

nice little fishing drink or lots of

meat to make into something delicious

you have a nice protein munch quite

versatile coconut hello babe

yes baby boys a corker look at that

nobody's gonna have lots of meter so

this guy's is medium ly heavy he's gonna

have some water and some mate how

exciting

[Music]

see on the youngest green coconuts this

inside is actually quite gelatinous

almost very Coco creamy and then in the

older coconuts which are going browner

to get this really yummy chewy white

meat delicious

[Music]

you Nikhil Advani evening

[Music]

my challenge will challenge you to make

your fifth Pina Colada recipe from

coconut your fresh coconut that you've

climbed the tree and got and send a

photo to us great coconut challenge

[Applause]

[Music]

okay everyone thank you so much for

watching that video we hope you enjoying

it

we have been pondering the whole coconut

thing we did do that video about five

months ago and yeah we think it would

actually be really cool if you guys did

actually send us a video a very short

video it'll be really quite fun to see

what you can do with a pina colada and a

coconut so yeah if you haven't got

coconut trees nearby you don't worry

about climbing them if you just if you

just send us a fun video about your pina

colada take with a coconut I think it

was think it would be really funny

so I'll get them to collect some

together if you send them to me and and

I'll do something fun with it

so yeah do send us a video 30-second

something like that a minute whatever to

Planet serían at gmail.com we'll see

what we can get going anyway in the
