Hi Tom I’m sitting here on Straddie where an East Coast Low has sat on top of us for the past three days and soaked us in a proper deluge. It looks so dry and sunny from where you have just departed and I wish you the safest and most enjoyable voyage. Moreton Bay awaits! And you have shown us that fisher folk here, there and everywhere mostly have open hearts and share the love. They will help you cross this mighty ocean.

Wow. Great video.

Great film Tom.

I really enjoyed seeing the camaraderie of all the Peruvian fishermen as they helped pull their boats in to shore. It was quite impressive also, how they welcomed Tom into their lives, while he prepared his trip. A well done video!

So cool to see all those working wood boats on the beach…a window into a time long gone from most waterfronts in this country.
