The Rad Nomads are Cate and Mark - two young-at-heart Aussies who chucked in corporate life, to find adventure on the high seas. We are out there dedicated to chasing the surf breaks, and generally taking the grey nomad thing next level. We set sail from Queensland's Sunshine Coast on our trusty sailing yacht, Cadence, bound for the tropics of North Australia, and the Pacific Islands. Mark's the oldest surfie boy alive, and just refuses to ever grow up. He's still carving it up on a short board,and teaching Cate to catch waves. When he's not surfing, he's generally cooking up a storm, or bashing out some bleak love tunes he writes himself. Cate's the eternal salty nomad, wandering the globe in search of new experiences since way back in the day, and still up for adventure. She's the sailor girl in Team Nomad, teaching Mark in the hope that he'll not manage to sink us at sea. So dive in Nomads, and taste the salt with us because you're never too old to be Rad!!
@@equalenergy nice to meet you too. Hope you get down to Tanna one day. Mt Yasur has been smoking heavily since we arrived. We are going to post our Tanna video soon, so keep an eye out, and at least you can enjoy it on a big screen.
Forgive me, but chuckling and joking about accidently sailing into a war zone reveals an astonishing lack of awareness of your intended cruising environment. You don't deserve sympathy if you discount threats to a safe passage from any source.
Sorry, but we are sailors, not clairvoyants. There was no problem beyond some flag waving when we departed Australia. However in 6 days a lot can happen, and so it did. Luckily the advent of Starlink enabled us to monitor the situation and make a conscious decision to go inside the reef to make necessary repairs. The situation in New Cal is regrettable, but as foreigners not our argument. We were far more concerned about preparing our boat for the next passage. The sea is a formidable force, not to be underestimated.
Am glad that THIS is not in Smell-o-vision! My one trip under the canopy of Lady Musgrave trees was an odoriferous experience that I don't see myself needing to ever repeat. The beaches were a much more pleasant experience IMHO.
Well hello there folks. You may not remember me, Darren from Neasee. The old 40 foot cruiser parked on the corner at Mooloolaba marina. It seems a lot has happened since I saw you last 😊 great to see people happy! I have subscribed and will be enjoying your videos. Safe travels Cate and Mark 🥂👍
Welcome Darren Of course I remember my neighbour. Yes, we have lots to come. Next vid will be a jump in time to our passage to New Cal and Vanuatu. Plenty happening here. Hope you are still enjoying your QLD cruising.
I just came back over the wide bay bar first bar corssing ive ever done in a yacht i just baught at tincan bay there im thinking about following the same path u guys are back up north
Awesome trip to do. We got as far as Cairns then back to Mooloolaba for cyclone season. Loved the Keppels, Fitzroy, and especially Lady Musgrave. You’ve got to get out there in turtle beeeding season. Fair winds
@@Rad-Nomads just asking because i was told not to fish there by the guy i baught my yacht off he said they have cameras off double island point and they come get u
Awesome video guys, as we are packing our 40ft container and planning our trip up North. It's taken a while but it's all seeming real. So good seeing this video hope to see you guys at sea 😊 Jacinta, Drew and the boys
