|  | | Around the World in Ever Increasing Circles
Not just a tale of travelling the world’s oceans and meeting people in faraway lands. In 1984, we were an accomplished team of explorers seeking the remote and unusual after sailing our yacht the equivalent of three times around the world.
Focuses on the years when our boys became men tackling oceans that test all sailors, taking us to Africa for a safari in the last wild kingdom, Galapagos to wander through the intricacies of nature, Rapa Nui to witness the results of over-population. Gliding everywhere in-between, contemplating the mysteries of eternity, of life, of the marvellous structure of reality accompanied by sea fairies whispering ageless secrets.
Little Ones ~
Zoom ahead thirty years, and now there’s a bundle of little ones like baby birds needing nourishment who can become even better global citizens by | |  | | Practical Boat Bits and Tips
Jude has been documenting the many very workable features of Banyandah and she has work diligently to bring them to you.
In Practical Boat Bits and Tips are the simplest and best ideas, illustrated in photographs, diagrams and her words. Best take her word, she’s the one keeping Banyandah in top shape.
| |  | | Reflections in a Sailor’s Eyes
Reflections in a Sailor’s Eyes follows our exploration of life through sixteen short stories starting with our 1969 African Honeymoon on an overland journey from England to South Africa in a derelict VW van. Plus several anecdotes adding a different perspective now that we are older and still exploring Earth aboard the same craft we home built in 1973.
Young family chance their luck, visit forbidden island and find themselves fighting for their lives. A true story written in 1983 aboard Banyandah in Indian Ocean.
Moonlight Across the Southern Ocean
By the time the Roaring Forties pass under Australia, they have gathered energy from halfway around Earth and are either driving the sea wild or are ready to pounce when next provoked by a depression from Antarctica.
Now imagine two aging flower powers, are their petals shriveling, yet with bright strong hearts, aboard a homemade sailboat crossing this most feared stretch of water. | |  | | Sailors on Safair
This trilogy is definitely not a travel guide, nor is it meant to be. And it’s not just a tale of travelling the world’s oceans and meeting people in faraway lands. It’s a series showing how to live a life of adventure, and survive.

One of the world’s greatest adventures – Following Flinders wake around Australia – 9,000 nautical miles across six climatic zones.
Jack and Jude have been exploring Earth for more than 40 years and in Two’s a Crew we search our homeland of Australia comparing it with what we had seen on early travels. Our homemade yacht takes us through crocodile infested waters to some of the world’s oldest rock paintings, into pristine coral atolls, and through Hell’s Gates itself. | |  | | Where Wild Winds Blow
Inside Where Wild Winds Blow, we bare our fears and intimacies, and enjoy being evocative to stimulate dreams and give justice to this amazing Earth.
Our journey begins at an easy pace sailing down the NSW coast dreaming of our earliest voyages.Then it explodes into action when we land at Flinders Island in the Bass Strait and finally get to visit Wybalenna. After that Jack and Jude again do the unexpected by walking forty kilometers along a rail track shrouded in rainforest to document the 100 years of mine pollution into Tasmania’s King River. Then it’s back to action when we take on the tempestuous Great Australian Bight to explore the Nuyts Archipelago first recorded by our earliest explorers.
