I am an Australian guy trying to live on a small footprint. I take in crew wherever I go and go where the wind takes me. I catch and gather food wherever I can.
I have no fridge or freezer, no oven, no aircon, no generator, no water heater, no watermaker ...
So if you want to see some interesting places and some interesting crew then follow me.

Just discovered your channel recently and had no idea what you had gone through. Watching this series was like a kick in the gut. Sorry you lost your catamaran. ;( Now appreciate all your jokes, fun spirit and salty sailing videos even more. Way to brush off your knees and keep going ...very insipiring, indeed.
I found this channel and watched a couple episodes and immediately went to the beginning and started watching all the episodes to where I'm at now. It brought tears to my eyes watching you lose your home like that and all your belongings, but thank God you two are safe and that you got help.
I lost my fishing boat of 8 years to rough seas, it was bad and by the grace of God I was found. I have learned so much from that and it has made me a better captain. Best to you my friend and may God protect you on your journeys.
And good luck to you too
Your a stud for even just showing what happens. Most people would have abruptly ended the vlog in embarrassment and made up a bullshite story. Good on ya for showing us the truth with out a sugar coating and trying to salvage long reef. I have no doubt that in time there will be a Long Reef II, perhaps hand built!
As a fellow multihuller i am so sorry for the loss of your cat ,words don't really do it justice how gutted you must feel because it made me feel sad i hope things turn around for you guys you deserve it cheers Andy
Absolutely heartbreaking to watch mate I can not express my sympathy enough to both of you I'm just so sorry that you lost your home and your sweetheart. But the God's are kind and you will sail again of that there is no doubt. Peace Love and kindness to both of you and a BIG HUG all the way from Ireland XXX
Don't know if this will reach you but this brought tears to my eyes, i felt your pain Peter... but look where you are now, 6 years and many adventures later. Sometimes a door closes for another one to open....💪
One thing I love about sailors is that the community seems to be very big on helping each other when someone is in distress. Pretty sobering video. I'm glad you both made it out ok.
I gave a thumbs up even though it was sad to see the vessel was lost to the sea. I thought that a thumbs down would be taken as a unlike. Much respect, you did all that you could given the circumstances.
Ive always wanted to sail the world, but my fear has always been this would happen. You are so lucky that disaster was gentle this time. I am so glad you are both still alive!
Man this episode made me Cry so sorry for your Lose my brotha your Alive that’s all that matters material things do not mater !!!!
I’m so impressed with you. You handled the situation with intellect and confidence and control.
I am saying a prayer for you and your boat. You handled everything like a true professional and remained calm at all times. Situations like these take measure of a man and you proved yourself worthy of the task. I am sure that you will bounce back from this tough situation and be better than ever in the future.
Glad you were able to get another boat and continue your adventures. 👍
It will be even better in a year or 2
Wow man. You were solid as a rock. You two were in it thick. 2nd video I watched. To go through that.. Thanks for posting.
So sorry you lost your boat mate, glad no-one got hurt. What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, in the game called life.
Shit happens, so sorry for you guys.
I hit a submerged object while in the middle of the channel but fortunately my boat had a swing keel so I steered to the beach and "sank" in nice shallow water. No crocs LOL so I managed to do some emergency repairs and made it home the next day.
Good luck finding your next boat and thanks for sharing your adventure with us all.
Gosh, just watched this episode. So sorry Peter, I've been only following your channel for a few months and have been thoroughly entertained. So glad you are still creating great videos and hope your adventures continue.
That was a rough go you both had.. but here you are years later. Good job. 👍
You just made a grown man cry! I pray you find yourself back in the water asap. Being on land is a real energy suck for people like us. Be steadfast and vigilant. Most of my favorite and famous sailors have lost boats. The way you handled it is commendable! Your crew is top notch. Bravo Zulu to you Brother!
wow! don't think i have ever seen anyone with such a positive attitude! YOU ARE A PILLAR MY BROTHER! you WILL have another boat, and soon enough!
3:54 that is the most scary and troubled laugh of joy, that moment of knowing you might live. Truly I never want to be in that situation, props to you guys for getting through it so well. Unreal
Never met but been a follower. You are a. Inspiration to me and many others Peter. You are the best of the best!!!The Australian people should be proud of you and you have made me excited to see the reef from afar. May God be with you.
Utterly speachless Peter, im so sorry for the loss. But the way you handled yourself through out the ordeal is commendable.
People like you turn things around to the better. I wish you all the very best my friend
Unfortunate loss of the Long Reef. You did what you could to save her, and she did what she could to save you. Damned rocks.
What a trooper. Kept her wits about her and maintained composure all the way up until the immediate danger was over and she could have a moment of relief. I'd say you've got 1 hell of a sailing partner there.
Gutted Peter for you so sad to see such a fine boat go that way.. good job for staying calm and everyone safe.
Glad your safe. My heart goes out to you. Keep strong.
Dude that was just wow I'm just gutted and I was only watching. Balls of steel for sharing this man thank you.
Life has kicked me in the teeth a bit over the last few years (Not on this level) but the thing I gleamed from this is the next time life goes to kick me in the teeth again, I'm biting off it's bloody toe.
Be safe man
So sorry for your loss Peter. Hopefully you can get on your feet quickly and get back on the water with another boat. Have envied your lifestyle and not far from realizing my own dreams much the same as yours. Good luck to you mate.
Tough to watch. Can only imagine how you felt abandoning your home of 7 years. Must have been gutting, both you and Margarita did so well though - you gave your boat the best chance that it could have had. Glad you're back out sailing again!
Ones loss of such magnitude is hard to imagine, Peter you handled your ordeal with such professionalism, unreal! A true Captain. Positive thoughts and prayers headed your way. You will turn this around.
M is such a trooper. Good luck, friends.
Stay strong mate. Like others said, your ability to stay calm was admirable.
very sad end to such a fun loving story, very impressed in your recovery and that you managed to record it all. I sailed thru the Kimberly, and I installed a forward looking sonar instead of insurance ... and yes it saved me a couple of times from hitting uncharted reefs. What a magic place. Lets hope you can get back out there and continue your sailing adventures. best wishes
I am so sorry for you man. That is so sad. Full respect. Keep up the Good work.
Sorry to hear about your loss I can only imagine the heartache. I will also congratulate you on your very professional and handling of the situation and not let your emotions take over when you needed a clear mind. Life always throws these tests at us and im sure you will only come out stronger from this. Keep your head up and start planning for your next home on the water. Best of luck and big respect on your seamanship.
I really like your Aussie independance positive coolness under that kind of pressure mate. As the list of things damaged kept growing, you just kept coming up with neat ideas and smiling as you documented your own shipwreck! Fair call to bail while certain help was handy - it was about survival, and not just your own safety. I feel for ya both. I'm sure the universe will provide another Long Reef so you can continue to amaze us with your adventurous spirit. Mozzfromoz.
Wow Sorry for your loss.
Very sorry for your Loss Peter I've enjoyed your videos so much and they have brought a lot of joy to my own life so i'm very saddened to see such an upbeat person full of life take a blow like this. Thanks for sharing your life with us, wishing you the best !
You must be devastated Peter, as we all are, seeing you go through this. You kept your wits, didn't panic and kept your crew safe. That is a hell of a job. Glad you are safe. Sorry for the loss of your home and your way of life.
So sorry to hear about your loss. Thank you for sharing your difficult story. You are a class act and you both handled it with such character. I'm sure you will be back out there again soon and I wish you both all the best. I look forward to your next chapter.
WOW! That was very hard to watch. So sad. Life has so many up and downs. You, my friend just went through rock bottom. Stay strong. Another window will open.
So sorry to see what happened to you, you still have your life and love for the sea. All the best for the future.
Aw Damn, Peter that sucks bad. So sorry you lost Long Reef. You did what you could, you kept the crew safe and that is what counts. Stay strong
this was a total Heart rencher sir. Though you continue to surprise me with your strength dude - much love & stay strong brotha!
I️ appreciate you sharing this with us. I️ realize it must be hard to relive it, but you are doing a service by showing everyone that sailing isn’t without risk. Ultimately everyone is safe. That is the most important thing. Good luck and I️ hope you can find away to continue your journey
I can relate to the heartache. sorry for your loss.
Plukky.... That almost brought me to tears. Absolutely devastated for you mate. You'll get another boat, just a matter of time. You're an inspiration on what to do in crisis. Keep your head up my friend.
Very sad to see this, and very impressed by the effort you put in to trying to save your boat. Thanks for doing this very difficult job of filming and publishing this, you are clearly made of strong stuff.
Your both alive that's all that matters.Keep your chin up.You hit it lucky on the rescue ship👍, luxury cruising for four days free.Better than a smelly old fishing boat to rescue you.You'll soon be sailing again and the knowledge your gaining now will not only make you a better sailor but all of us who watch it too.
By your efforts, you and your crew are alive. Most importantly.
Really sorry you lost your boat and home. You are a really cool guy, resourceful and quick witted with bags of courage. I feel sure you will bounce back from this quickly.
both of you handled this situation like a boss. i wish best luck for future..
Good pan pan call text book I hate over reliance on maydays. Cheers.
Amen to that
This just bangs me up. I cannot begin to imagine what you are going through. All being said i am glad you have your health and everyone made it out and there is nothing on your conscience that is going to drag you under and hold you down. The universe gives us what we need and we can only listen and move on and become stronger...all this you know of coarse. I know its hard but I would like to still hear about what you will do in the future. Do you have to somehow salvage the wreck? Things you could have done different. All the best and you are in my prayers.
So very sorry to hear that you lost the boat, Plukky. I was anxiously awaiting this next update. I am super happy that you and Marg made it to safety. My Nikki and I are about to set off on our cat; you and Marg are more than welcome to join us here in the States.
Gutted. Sorry for the loss mate. There will be brighter day ahead. Ducky will find a new home soon.
I am going to give my boat a big hug after work today
Three years to look back on this. There was a lot of could’ve should’ve would’ve. I just say you’re blessed and you have an angel. Things worked out and life continued, I lost touch for a while but one day I decided to search you out and start watching again. As a landlocked sailor I am a little envious. Only a little bit. You have made an incredible Journey out of your life. You’re the modern Alby Mangles.
Terrible news. You handled the entire situation as well as possible. Good on ya. You had an incredible 7 years on her, great times. Time to move on and make a plan to get your next boat. Legend!
I would be honoured, and comfortable to sail with this guy. Keep us informed Plukky
Peter, is am so sad for you....but at the same time watching your energy and ability I know without a doubt you will rise above this challenge in life. I have followed your journey and you have given us all so much joy. Within your youtube community and outside we will all support your restart . Your calm and decisions thought this traumatic event demonstrated to all how to save lives and come back for another time. Well done. With respect. Wes
Keep it up! Don't stop uploading vídeos. Share your thoughts not only good times. You will soon be back! All the best from Spain
So sorry for your lost. Glad that you two are ok, hope you will be able to get another boat an start over good luck in the future.
Hard to watch. Without a doubt you will captain another boat. Again, you had extreme cool under fire. Full Respect.
I don’t think this can be said enough. Throughout the entire ordeal every action was calm, cool and collected. Assessing the situation, making a decision and acting. If ever in a similar situation, i hope to be 1/10 as composed. Good on you! No doubt you will be back at the helm admiring the sand and coral of another gorgeous crew!
As a fellow yachtie that is the toughest video I have ever had to watch. I have watched your videos from the beginning Peter and they have given me plenty of laughs. I hope you bounce back mate and keep that Aussie spirit alive. Good luck to you.
A nearly impossible situation. Cap opened up a chance for her, wish he could have leapfrogged his anchor up onto that sand beach, even if there wasn't enough to patch the holes she'd have stayed put. Well, I said nearly impossible. Actually it was impossible. He opened up that possibility but I have to agree. It was hard to watch. Play Muffled Drums, Lads. Long Reef, RIP.
Hi Mr Davis. My thoughts would have been to call a salvage company to come get the boat. Then worry with paying them. Do you think that is possible?
i would have contacted a salvage company and asked if i could rent a float or two and go back there then just beach it completely. at least you can come back another season and rescue it , i would not see any other way of doing this the back was too much under water
This is so sad. My heart goes out to you both.
Yep still sad for me
I am so sorry. This is really tragic. Hope you get out there in a new home soon.
So sorry on the loss of long reef Peter. You will be back on the water before you know it with your quick humer and charm. I look forward to seeing your vlogs again. Good luck to you.
From Chespaeake Virginia we send prayers to you and your beautiful young lady .
My heart goes out to ya'll
So sorry you lost your boat. Appreciate you sharing this with us - I'm sure everyone including myself learned a lot from your videos.
so sad peter , you don't deserve this bad luck ... really feel for you . i hope you are find your way back to the sea quickly .... am sure there are some great things to come for someone like you ... peace and love...
It is a very sad loss, she must have been part of the family after 7 years, I hope you can get out in a new boat soon.
My sincere condolences, I have lost a boat, mine was just an Endeavour 24 and I was lucky the insurance payout was well in excess of the current value and I was able to get a bigger boat, but I understand the pain of losing a boat. Yours must be so much more as your boat was your home and life style. Take care
Breaks our hearts to hear but a new adventure awaits you. And we will be with you! This was a journey that wasn't so good but good ones are ahead for you. Have faith. And keep going for us all.
Tough news Peter; but- you remain a tough Plukky! As sure as tides will continue to rise and fall, so shall you float another vessel. Time has a way of presenting new opportunities. I’ll stay tuned and follow along.
All the best
Patch
A man of your character will rise again! Cool in the most stressful monents every sailors most feared situation. You survived this you were not beaten and you can now know you can handle ANYTHING thrown at you. Good on you mate! - Jimmy
I so Sorry amigo, it´s too sad see that you lost your boat. but for the other hand, realy, you are an example to follow. Live strong.
SOO sorry you lost your boat (HOME) Plukky!! Not the outcome we were all hoping for...I will share your story and am confident that my friends will offer support.
Sending positive energy (and cash)!
Sorry for your loss of vessel and home. Devastating news. I admire your courage and grace under such difficult times.Todd
Brutal. Glad you're ok. Thank you for sharing something that isn't blue skies and fair winds.
I know the area in the Kimberlies very well, I have sailed it extensively, I also sailed a catamaran onto Darwin some 20 years ago.
The charts are simply not accurate, daytime sailing is the only option with extensive use of the depth sounder, an additional problem is overfalls which look like reef, but you find deep water.
The tides are horrendous your sailing is always dictated by them, I remember distinctly sailing towards a lovely bay about a mile away only to be pushed back by the tide.
The Kimberlies are one of the very last wilderness sailing area's with some amazing places to visit, however it is wild and dangerous with Crocs and Sharks are an ever present danger.
BTW if I still lived in Darwin I would have assisted you, however I now live in Europe.
Bad luck and I wish you all the best, I'm sure you will be back on the water soon.
When you hit rock bottom...there is only one way to go. UP. So, try to refocus, reassess, be thankful for your health, try to work around it. Your young, talented, and have a good following here. Eye of the Tiger!
I'm truly sorry Peter. I admire the way you handled the situation - working the problems up until the last possible moment. Then making the right call for you and your crew when the time came. You done good, mate. Respect.
Wow that was tough. Thanks for sharing such a difficult experience
Yes it was....still is
Sorry for you but it was the right choice. You had one opportunity to get your crew in a safe situation and you took it. Nobody can blame you for that. Any small thing could have threatened your lifes in that situation and who knows if another ship would have shown at that time... Try not being sad because the future is darkest without your boat, but keep smiling because you still have a future and you also have a past that could make jealous a lot of people. Good luck!
Heartbreaking. So glad you too are alive and healthy. Fair winds my friend.
So sorry for you Peter. I was really hopeful that you were going to save her. You are an amazing skipper, kept your head and did an amazing job. Your videos really are inspirational. Stay strong. Something good will come your way.
Many thoughts with you Peter. So sorry for your loss, but very glad you managed to save your crew and your life. Stay strong - your decision to call for help and your subsequent rescue were well-judged. Good luck with next adventure. Thanks for your awesome videos. Roy
So sorry for the loss of your boat. Best of luck to you.
Keep vlogging ! Your return journey to freedom on another boat is going to be epic ! I can't wait to see it ! Thanks for sharing 😎
Peter you deserve the Captain Kirk award!
And Peter you may feel this was your worst disasters, but mate I think it has been your finest hour!
You and your crew so heroic and composed under fire.
Ive never donated or patrioned, but Ill also give $25 for the shear inspiration and role model you have been. And to keep filming for the entertainment of your small and disturbed following while you lose your home. Above and beyond the call of duty for sure.
You both should be so proud.
Im sure you will bounce back with evengence!
Looking forward to it!
Forward looking Sonar on your next boat if you are planning these adventures.... all the best mate! Also full respect!
Such a sad end ! You can only say and I'm sure it doesn't help but you really did all you could to try and save it . I'm sure you'll be back again on you adventures . Good luck to you
You did so well my dear friend, kept calm, valued any single possibility to save the boat, and thanks good you both are safe. Now turn page and start new life and new adventure. We all support you my friend. Be strong.
Peter, I echo all the positive comments below. You're a fine sailor, one of the best under fire, and thank you for posting all of this video. It was probably more difficult to relive the thing, than the thing itself. I think now you just need a solid plan, with a goal, and we will contribute!
Thanks for your support and kind words but I am not a fine sailor at all. Mistakes were made and due to that I put someone else in danger. That in itself, i ought to have the book thrown at me
Nope. Sorry, she's fine, and was never in significant danger. You saw to that man. A few well intended comments here about refloating by sacrificing the dingy, sealing up holes, bailing out, and even commandeering the Zodiac. But it was only you, those things were never any guarantee. You chose survival by conserving water, food, fuel, and energy. I see that now. No way you could have sailed that thing anywhere without risk of hitting more reef, or running into weather. Nope, I would sail with you man. Well done.
You both did good, no fingers or toes lost, from Iowa with much love and hope, keep us informed, god bless you both
Your video series has brought tears to my eyes. I am glad that your are both safe. Ye shall sail again and very soon.
sorry for Longreef mate; to step off looked so hard. my advice to you is you can't change what has happened, only learn from it, and don't waste too much time looking back, just look forward. Thanks for sharing your journey so far; I've learnt some yacht smarts from you and had a few laughs along the way; "that's some good looking sand"' classic!
Good luck and thanks for sharing. Amazing safe thought process after this happened. Why would anyone give a thumbs down on this vid...Seriously if you did may need to rethink your life. We are here to help each other as sailors and learn.
