Chris is a regular contributor to several magazines. With many years of sailing and life afloat under her belt, her portfolio of published work is a record of varied cruising experiences. Of course the articles are always illustrated with her beautiful photographs.
The « Published » page lists all articles printed to date. It has become a bit of a resource for other yachties, something very pleasing.
We have organised this page around three main sections: Destinations, Amazing Experiences and Practical. The articles are listed in reverse chronological order. Click on the link to read the articles online or download them.

Got a chance to read your newest about nautical photography and really enjoyed it – great tips on all fronts! We found this summer that we had to use those little poof brushes to get rid of the dust first before using the lens cleaner wipes – otherwise it got ground into the polarizer (thankfully the polarizer and not the lens!).
Pleased you enjoyed it! When I was approached to write this I wondered about the key points and whether it would be of interest to people… Thanks for the feedback and the extra tip on the puffer!

Hi Chris. Just read your article “What Lurks …”. Timely! Your blog inspired me last year to look at purchasing an underwater camera for this year’s trip. I did. Still learning but loving it. Upgraded my DSLR in Townsville too. Thank you for your blog and magazine articles … and the inspiration! Amanda
Hi Amanda – what a nice thing to say! Glad the posts and articles are helpful to you. Photography is such a great way to share our adventures and the amazing sights we are lucky enough to discover!

What an impressive collection of articles!!! I’m going to remember this as we prepare to sail the more remote areas of Tassie in the coming years…and eventually to Lord Howe! -Jessie
Thanks Jessie. Tassie holds a special attraction to us and we have spent many summers exploring there. As for Lord Howe, we hope to be able to go back there later this year if things settle with COVID.
