salty sneak peak

An adventure blog to tell stories, to inspire others, to ignite the dare to dream. To show how day to day I live a fairly different salty nomadic floating life, but with a whole lot of normal thrown in. I even try desperately to grow stuff...

Starfish plant (Orbea variegata) grown by my lovely friend Cath. Looks absolutely gorgeous, smells like carrion 🤢

Scored 20kg of beautiful Tahitian limes from @springcreekorchards and drying a few more homegrown bird's-eye chilli to make hot chili powder. Post ideas for using and preserving limes please! #luvyalockyer #homegrown #preserving #pickles #lime #mojitoscomingup #juicing #huromslowjuicer

Can't keep up with the chillis and beans but picked my first pumpkin today 🎃 🍅🍆 ° ° #ediblegarden #vegetablegardening #growyourown #growyourownfood #chilli #abundance #Queensland #vegetablegarden

It's the middle of summer... but REAL campfire #jacketpotato can summon us any time of the year 😍 #livingthedream #campfiregourmet #nofirebanhere

I picked everything clean yesterday and this is the repeat harvest for today. Looks like we won't be going hungry from now on. Now to decide what to cook with it though there is a #thaigreencurry calling me 😋 #vegetablegarden #snakebeans #mintmojito #homegrown

I adore sunflowers 😍 these beauties are above head height having outgrown the protective netting over the veggie patch. Now it's a juggle between leaving them to grow for the bees and cutting them so I can get the net back on to fend away hungry possums. #peekaboo #sunflowers #beeporn #vegetablegarden #pollen

I must smell sweeeet to bees after strimming the grass from the fence line because these gorgeous little workers keep landing on me 😍 #nativebees #stinglessbees #gardener #beemagnet #maybejuststinky

Neighbourhood watch from the back fence 😂😂 #maremma #pony #countryliving #wishitwouldrain

The new veggie beds have some surprises growing and not all of them edible... This little gem is the unfortunately named #dogvomitslimemold but I think it's cool 😎 #vegetablegarden #slimemold #Queensland

Need to work on my sound quality 🔊 #squeakysand #squeaky #beach #loveaustralia #noplastichere #imjustabigkid

NSW litter campaign doesn't mince with words!

Met up with these gorgeous people in Brisbane today, can't believe it's been over a decade since we last had a pint @rgbannister! So happy to catch up, see you all in Devon next time 👍👍🍻 #plantpeople #lookingattrees #southbank

Making coffee and looked out to see something rare for my #portholeview shots. A visit from the local village goat herd 😂 🐐 🐐 🐐 #cruisinglife #boatrepair #haulout #travel #thailand #krabi #goat #goat #villagelife

My poor boat! We were hit head on by a fishing boat whilst we were on anchor ⚓. It was a frightening wake up CRASH at 04:30 had us scrambling for clothes and up on deck to assess damage. Fortunately nothing major to the rigging, anchoring or hull, phew. Our entire bowsprit has been pushed backwards about 10mm and forward of the headsail is destroyed, the stainless is bent, navigation lights gone and quite a bit of the teak rails have cracked with the impact. All positive though as after some rigging adjustments and tightening we can still sail and amazingly there isn't even a scratch on the paint - GO TIKI! I wonder if the fishing boat came off as easily? #grateful #safe #notangry #sailing #accident #liveaboard #cruisinglife #boat #boatrepair #thailand

Good morning everyone. We had a peaceful early start to our sail north towards Ko Surin. Have had wonderful offshore beam reaches all the way so far, fingers crossed it continues ⛵⛵⛵ . . #sunrise #nofilter #dawn #portholeview #portholediaries #porthole #cruisinglife #boat #boatlife #liveaboard #offgrid #sailing

Sunset view out from Nai Harn as I make red curry for dinner. So beautiful. #sunset #portholeview #galley #cruisinglife #lovemylife #travel #sailing #seaview #boat #liveaboard

Belated Happy Birthday to me! #durian #durianlover #kradumthongdurian #thailand #notstinky #delicious #imnotpopulartoday #foodie #foodporn #fruit

Best time of the day after fixing stuff and touring around on moped... #margaritatime #marinarats #margarita #happyhour #ddeck #aopograndmarina #sailing #boatlife #cruisinglife #travel #phuket #thailand #lovemylife

Sailing along with a gentle breeze on flat seas. Anything stronger and I will need to close this particular #porthole but for now I'm enjoying the engine silence and the aqua green water rippling by at eye level. #sailing #portholeview #peaceful #nautical #boat #cruisinglife #seaview #viewfrommykitchen #galleykitchen

It's another gorgeous dawn departure for us. We cleared immigration and completed formalities yesterday to leave Malaysia and have a few days sailing before arriving in Phuket. Yes, SAILING as the winds are actually forecast to be good. Watch this space... ⛵⛵⛵

Where are we?
