We’re heading into a sailor’s paradise on Great Keppel Island, exploring a unique lagoon that completely dries out at low tide! 🏝️ This hidden gem is perfect for beaching boats, drying them out, or even long-term storage – a true treasure for the cruising community.
In the lagoon, we’re on an exciting adventure through the island’s lush mangroves, searching for the abandoned homestead that nature has beautifully reclaimed. Join us as we uncover the island’s secrets, navigate the stunning tidal changes, and dive into a bit of island history along the way. 🌟

Ahoy! We’re the James Family, a trio sailing around the globe and sharing our family-friendly adventures every week! Sam hails from New Zealand, while Cait is from the United States; we met in Cairns, Australia. During the Covid-19 pandemic, we eloped, and a year later, our family grew with the arrival of Charlie! In 2022, we took the leap to follow our dream, sold everything, and bought an old, unfinished aluminum catamaran. Now, we’re fixing her up as we explore the world.
