Leading the Escapade

We're two ocean-loving Aussies sailing around the world aboard our 40ft monohull, Escapade. Our mission? To circumnavigate the globe and share the real, raw, and beautiful moments of life at sea—spearfishing, fixing things that break, exploring off-grid islands, and everything in between. We film it all: the highs, the lows, the cats, the chaos, and the quiet sunsets. This is full-time boat life…
