No Turning Back...5 Day Countdown...Pacific Crossing Preparation Scramble! | EP65

Living on a yacht full-time means one thing — your life runs on weather. In this episode, we experience that reality more than ever. After estimating that we still had 2–3 weeks of work left before we’d be ready for our Pacific Ocean Crossing, our weather router Bob from Ocean Marine Navigation called with news we never expected… A perfect weather window was forming — but we had to leave in just FIVE DAYS. Lindsey was away visiting friends in Byron Bay for a much-needed recharge, but her trip had to be cut short as we shifted into full-on departure mode. Meanwhile back at The Boat Works, Nathan tackled nonstop projects to get our boat ready for the biggest journey of our lives. From mechanical jobs, last-minute repairs, and passage prep to provisioning, paperwork, and customs checkout, everything had to get done — fast. This episode follows our final push to prepare our Selene Yachts Classic Explorer for a massive bluewater adventure across the Pacific Ocean — a crossing that will challenge us, our boat, and everything we’ve learned as full-time cruisers. Join us as we race the clock, chase the weather window, and get ready to take on the Pacific. 🌊⛵ BMA Marine (Ben) Contact: (This guy ROCKS) https://www.bmamarine.com.au/ ben@bmamarine.com.au ________________________________________________________________________________________ 👀 WATCH NEXT – Don’t Miss These Adventures! 🎬 BIGGEST ANNOUNCEMENT OF OUR LIVES!
