After running this blog for 12 years, we have decided to pause it while we are on land, living an ordinary life.
Our readership has grown over the years to nearly 1000 subscribers from all walks of life and different parts of the world. Nothing outstanding, but it appealed to individuals intrigued about our seafarers’ lifestyle and to sailors in search of information about our favourite cruising grounds in the Great Barrier Reef, the Coral Sea Atolls or Tasmania.
We suspect our current life ashore filled with renovations, deliberations about where we might live long term and photo experimentations are of little appeal to anyone but us. We don’t want to bore you all to tears, so while our focus is different we are putting the blog on pause.
We will reactivate our posts when we are back on the boat cruising part-time and with more compelling material to share. SV-Anui.com will remain accessible for those subscribers keen to find out about sailing destinations around the Australian coast.
As for the few of you who still wish to receive landlubbers’ news, you are welcome to stay in touch via our Contact Page or email us directly to get updates.
Thank you for following our adventures over the past decade. We will be back online in a little while!

Oh man, I’m gonna miss you guys and your land adventures too! But, I understand your reasons. I look forward to new updates, be well you two! 🙏🏻😎🇦🇺❤️ John
Thank you John. House renos is what everybody does… just a pause and we will surprise you when we get back on the boat for a real adventure which is not too far away.
That’s good news! I have really enjoyed your adventures for so long now. Best wishes on the home renovations, I recall you saying that the home may be sold in the future so a refresh can help that. Be well! 🙏🏻😎
Oh John you are one of our favourite followers… always saying hello and commenting on every post. It’s au revoir, not adieu.
That’s so sweet of you to say, thank you! ❤️ I don’t speak French. 🤭
Dear Chris and Wade – not the news one wanted to receive early on a Friday morning but, in a way, I kind’of expected it. Whilst I naturally loved learning about the sv Anui adventures – as the weeks and months progressed and I got to know you (and love seeing what late darling Bengie was getting up to) your posts were simply a lovely Friday morning letter from people with whom I felt I had a lot in common . . . what you were doing, how matters were progressing, including the blessed ill-health with which one had to cope. I certainly shall miss this, hope you will not totally close your door and have no intention to send any adieus . . . be well, see’ya 🙂 !
Oh Eha, feeling sad too. You are one of a tiny number of followers actively engaged with what we do and how we feel and that means a lot to us. We will keep in touch directly with you and it is definitely not ‘adieu’. Take care.
Hugs and thumbs up and thank you with a smile 🙂 !
As always best of luck & we will look forward very much to seeing your posts at a later date.
Phil & I will miss your stories & amazing photography, land & sea, we don’t always make a comment however we always read your blogs & have such empathy for the huge challenges you both have had and totally understand the need to quietly settle for a while. I understand it will be a busy time for you both but always know you are very welcome to stay if your future land travels bring you up this way.
Thank you Lindy and Phil. Ours is a friendship that will endure. We will keep in touch… promise!
Hi Chris,Good luck on the next phase of your life!I am sure you will enjoy partime sailing just as much.We have been doing it for 50 years and still love it!Sent from my Galaxy
Thank you. We know we will, we will enjoy the best of both worlds.
