We had planned to sail out to the Gambiers but decided to stop off at Raivavae and we are certainly not regretting the decision. - Liss

Slow down, smell the salt air, and don’t forget to breath. Stress is a number one trigger of hormonal imbalance and chronic disease - Liss

We decided to help sail Roam back as far as Tonga, a distance of about 2000 miles, which would then leave just the leg back to New Zealand - John Hoult

Selling my car, leaving my job and going sailing changed my life in many ways. For years despite doing things that I thought were right I had been unknowingly harming my health. I’m sharing with you a probably too detailed description of my personal health journey, so for those who are not interested in how I brewed a hormonal health storm and then improved my health and well being  skip to the end for a long story short  - Liss

We did it we crossed the ditch, 1828 nautical miles from St Helens to Sydney Sydney to Opua. It was just Michael and I, our longest passage yet and not once did we come close to an argument, I think that is an accomplishment in its self.

With our fifth Bass Strait crossing out of the way we spent a little time in Sydney before yet again sailing upwind for our first Tasman crossing .

what better way to get another perspective on our amazing experiences than to ask our special guests who made our trip even more memorable.

It’s not just the voyage or scenery that make these remote islands so special, it’s the incredible local people, and empty beaches with no footprints but our own. - Liss

This is it, our first international passage, sailing Roam, our home into international and tropical waters.

There is so Much of Tasmania that I had never ventured into before. With no expectations of the South and South West Coast,  we were itching to find out whats hiding down there, to disappear out of phone reception, off the grid. This may be as close as I will possibly ever get to an untouched wilderness....Liss

Spending some time on home turf is always nice. Growing up on a farm I don't mind getting my hands dirty....Liss

What better way to learn to sail then sailing across the Bass Strait right? 

Sensibly, It’s probably not the best idea to tackle the Bass Strait for your first ocean passage experience as a complete novice to sailing. In my case I could not have asked for a better first REAL sailing experience....Liss

Thank's for having us Victoria, Team Roam enjoyed discovering the Gippsland Lakes, Beautiful sunsets and calm waters … now it's time to head further North.......Liss

Reflecting on our time, from dropping our Bass strait crew off in Queenscliff to saying goodbye to Mick yesterday , what awesome adventures , fun and memories made and this is just the beginning.   - Liss

With no wind, and the sun  shining, It’s the perfect day to explore the island. The boys help load the bikes into the tender..... Liss

It's go time ... The tender gets lowered, the boards come out of the surf locker wet suits are on. Roland has to borrow my board (which is actually my sisters board that I am borrowing shhhh) It's a beginner board and floats REALLY well , so Roland is  bound to have fun trying to duck dive under the dumping little barrels...Liss

Yes it’s true I am the luckiest girl in the world 

So today my Roam adventures begin……

 BEEP, BEEP, BEEP….. I haven’t woken up to an alarm in over a week now and I sure haven’t missed it , this morning though I jumped to my feet with excitement ..... Liss
