Exploring Gold Coast Australia Before CROSSING THE PACIFIC!!! | EP62

Boatwork has been nonstop these past few weeks as we prepare our Selene Yachts Classic 49ft Trawler for a massive passage—crossing the Pacific Ocean from West to East. We’re so excited to get underway, but there’s still a long list of projects before this yacht is ocean-ready! So this week, we took a much-needed break from the tools and sanding to explore more of Australia. 🚤🇦🇺 We left Boatworks and cruised to downtown Gold Coast where we anchored for the weekend. Exploring Gold Coast City was incredible—until a huge lightning storm rolled in with heavy winds and hail. Luckily, by morning the boat was safe and undamaged, but we had to head back quickly to avoid another system… and we barely made it in time. Thanks for hanging out with us here in Australia as we get closer to departing on our biggest journey yet: a full Pacific Ocean crossing aboard our Selene 49 trawler! 🌏⚓️ Enjoy the video! ⸻ 🔔 If you like adventure cruising, subscribe for weekly episodes! • Trawler life • Ocean crossings • Liveaboard lifestyle • Selene Yachts • Cruising Australia & beyond ________________________________________________________________________________________ 🌴 COME HANG OUT WITH US 🎥 Patreon – Exclusive content, early videos, and Lindsey responds to every message personally! 👉 Join us on Patreon https://www.patreon.com/The71Percent 📸 Instagram 👉 https://www.instagram.com/the71percentchannel/ 📘 Facebook 👉 https://www.facebook.com/the71percent 🌐 Our Website 👉 https://www.the71percent.com 🌐 Selene Yachts 👉 https://www.seleneamericas.com ________________________________________________________________________________________ ⚓ STUFF WE LOVE (and actually use) These aren’t just random links — this is gear we use on Ruth Pearl all the time.
