Sailing Adventure – Explore Earth with Jack and Jude
Comments from our readers ~
Excellent yarn, Lovely ending, Really enjoyed reading it.
It’s a fantastic book that warrants a second and third read. Chock full of tips and hints for the not so experienced, history woven through in an interesting way, and a great story. Sailing story, love story, history, travel – what more could a reader want?
Petrea.
nspiring. Quite clearly you told us about the importance of having routines in place, who does what, what to watch for. We purchased all three of your books and reading them has given our confidence a big boost. Thank you.
Where Wild Winds Blow has changed my life. I read your dedication from a copy in the library and immediately bought your book even though I have never sailed and may never step on a boat. The thought scares me. But through you two, I have vicariously experienced true love and known the courage Earth’s great explorers must have had. God Bless.

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 they search their homeland of Australia wanting to compare today’s world with what they had seen on previous travels. Their homemade yacht takes them through crocodile infested waters to some of the world’s oldest rock paintings, into pristine coral atolls, and through Hell’s Gates itself.
Anyone interested in adventure and love surviving four decades will enjoy Two’s a Crew.
Our journey begins at an easy pace recalling cute and important moments from the earliest days raising two boys afloat. It explodes into action when the Two J’s explore Flinders Island in Bass Strait, where Jack and Jude visit Black Man’s Houses, the final resting place for Tasmanian Aborigines. They then do the unexpected by walking 40 km along a rainforest railroad to investigate 100 years of mine pollution of Tasmania’s King River.
Exposing environmental disasters to help Earth will always be a major focus, but it’s back to action when they take on the Great Australian Bight to explore the remote Recherche Archipelago. Strong winds take them to Albany in WA. And when they battle a stormy Great Southern Ocean en-route to Tasmania, they are driven way off course. Bruised and battered, wet, but still afloat, Jack and Jude sail on to rendezvous with dear friends and begin a second honeymoon cruise to Tasmania.

Jack and Jude: Life Afloat. If you’ve read our blogs, here is the action and exquisite beauty of far far away.
Summer 2012 saw the Green Machine opened up new territory for Jack and Jude, the kayak taking us up rivers few explore. First the Gordon River to search for Huon Piner remnants as far as the rocky Sprent River.
In World Heritage Port Davey, we paddle through the exquisite gorge in perfect weather. Then trek overland to the far south coast of Tasmania, where we explore off track, again, perfect photographic conditions. Taking Banyandah across the shallow Old River Bar, we kayak up river to locate a last stand of mature Huon Pines. Then we search for and discover the lonely grave site of Critchley Parker, an ill equipped dreamer. To escape we brave a spunky fresh gale taking Banyandah south under Maatsuyker to reach safety in Recherche Bay on Tasmania’s East Coast. Its not life or death footage, relaxing most of it, and pretty fun.
