Podcastaway: Liveaboard Cruising

This episode covers our 6 week stay in Papua New Guinea and our return to Australia. This is the last episode of PodCastaway for the present. Thanks to everyone who's been interested enough to listen to my ramblings for the past 6 years!

An account of our three months in the Western Provice of the Solomon Islands.

We left Bundaberg on May 11th, spent 2 weeks at Chesterfield Reef and arrived in Gizo, Solomon Islands, on June 7th.

We're about ready to leave Australia so I've recorded this brief update just to show that we still exist!

So we had to give it up in the end. We finally had a window but Tigger was not fit.

Finally, after our 6 month tour around Australia, we have left Bundaberg and are heading up the Queensland coast. We still haven't decided where we're going this trip!

Last post of the season. We spent 6 weeks at Lizard Island - the northernmost extent of our cruise this year and then we hurried south to Bundaberg in 3 weeks! Until next year, bye for now!

An account of our month spent between Townsville and Cairns - on the Queensland Coast and Great Barrier Reef - and a discussion of anchoring issues.

An account of our month spent diving in the Whitsunday Islands; and a few emails answered.

Welcome to PodCastaway 2009. We're only 2 weeks into our 2009 cruising season and have progressed only about 200 miles up the coast of Queensland. But it was about time I made a podcast episode, and I'm sure you want to hear about our trips to New Zealand and Tasmania!

Recorded during our passage from Port Vila, Vanuatu, to Bundaberg,  Australia. We made stopovers at Huon Atoll and Chesterfield Reef.This is the last Podcast of this cruise. Thanks for coming along.

We've spent six weeks in the northern Banks Islands of Vanuatu, an area less often visited than the rest. We attended the 2008 Vanualava Cultural Festival.

Before my son Nick left us after 3 months aboard, I interviewed him about his experiences.

I've finally uploaded the podcast recorded between leaving New Caledonia and arriving at Luganville in Vanuatu.

Our new cruising season has started with a 6 day passage from Bundaberg, Australia, to Koumac, New Caledonia. We arrived in New Caledonia on May 14th but only now, on a trip to Noumea, have I found the bandwidth to upload it.

The last podcast of the season, recorded during our 6 day passage from Noumea to Bundaberg. PodCastaway will be on hiatus now until we recommence cruising in April 2008.

Recorded during our passage from Fiji to New Caledonia. Includes:- lightning, 50 knot winds, an unscheduled stop in Vanuatu, the mutiny on the Bounty, and our personal backstory!  

This is a short update recorded during two overnight hops within the Fiji group.

Recorded during our passage from Ha'apai, Tonga, to Savu Savu, Fiji. Includes accounts of our traumatic departure from Tonga, and our awesome whale watching trip! I encoded this at 32kbps - it sounds OK (to me) and is half the size.

A short podcast recorded on our two overnight hops between Samoa and Vava'u ... and our two week sojourn in Niuatoputapu. I found bandwidth in Vava'u, so here it is.
