After 5 successful years with Bay Dreamer it is time for us to move on to a bigger boat. It was a hard decision to make, after all we do love our boat and everything she has done for us. She is in close to perfect condition and she has just left the hard after the yearly maintenance w

And that´s a wrap! Bay Dreamer has now reached her final destination for this trip and is now settled in the Royal Phuket Marina, Thailand. 6 weeks down, I think it can be humbly stated that Bay Dreamer has drifted under her fair share of colossal cliffs, cruised through enough warm t

We are just under the half way point of our trip to Thailand and are preparing to check out of wonderful Malaysia. The past almost three weeks since the crew arrived has been been full of laughs, monkeys and mostly upwind or no wind sailing. Leaving Senibong Cove We circled back aroun

After 10 weeks of sailing through jungles, tropical islands and towns of, the second part of our journey to Thailand has now drawn to a close. A three day sail was made from the tropical paradise of Belitung on wards to the Malaysia/Singapore border, where we have been staying in Seni

Waving goodbye to Bali, we had a days sail back over to Lombok to explore the Gili Islands- Gili Air, Gili Meno and Gili Trawangan. It was like taking a step back in time. These tranquil little islands have no motor power- so all transport is via horse drawn carts along rickety dirt r

West Timor, Solor, Flores, Komodo, Sumbawa, Lombok and now Bali; the past 6 weeks has flown by as we skipped between these Indonesian Islands. From desolate islands and atolls, to bustling party towns, remote villages to luxurious resorts- Indonesia has had it all so far.  Together wi

There are some moments in life that you know will be amazing before they even happen. This upcoming trip is definitely something that will be full of such moments and is being met with great anticipation by all the crew.    After a fast paced and jam packed sail over the past thr

No I am not talking about some incoming evil weather system, I am talking about the vacuum the crew left behind them when they disembarked a week ago. For 3 months we have been full house aboard the boat, always someone talking, someone closing a door, someone snoring, someone flushin

After a jam packed week of activities in the Solomon Islands, we headed to Papua New Guinea, our final stop before arriving in Australia. Again, we had heard many tales/nightmares of sailing here and had considered skipping PNG all together. Similarly to how you shouldn’t google your

So, here we are! The Solomon Islands! Since our last report we have done way more than a 1000 miles of sailing. So much has happened since our last report I don’t even know where to start. This is the downside with bad or no internet connection- too much time passes and it gets almost

We left the mangrove unharmed and in one piece after cyclone Donna passed us just a couple of miles East of our position.  We were extremely lucky that “Donna” decided to alter her course hours before she was supposed to hit us. Even if we would have got a direct hit I think we would

Our almost 1000nm journey from New Zealand to New Caledonia could not have been better.  We had a rather low average speed of 5.5 knots with the help of our light wind gennaker sail, which made  the trip extremely comfortable. We got ourselves a few of fish on the way so that our new

The autopilot is working again and we have just cleared customs and are about to set sail. We will have to travel around 950 nm until we reach our first destination; Numea in New Caledonia. Meanwhile waiting for the part for the autopilot we did a short cruise here in the Bay of Islan

I can’t even begin to explain how intense these last couple of weeks have been. We ended up doing half a over haul of the boat and she is now more than ready for a new intense season. Olivia has transformed her self from being a baby into a full on “walking child”. We have spent over

We have now started to prepare Bay Dreamer for this coming super intense year. It´s a lot of hardworking going on here in Opua marina and we can’t wait to set sail again. Soon our new crew members will arrive and if everything goes as planned they will set foot on an adventure machine

Another great year has passed and we have now been on the sea for almost 4 years. 2016 has been a very special year, different, intense, challenging, wonderful & exciting- a year that we will never forget! The year has been really hectic for us aboard the Bay Dreamer, so hectic ev
