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.

Here, as promised, is the 11 minute video I made of our great whale snorkeling experience in Tonga. A 74MB download if you are interested.

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.
