Thanks for the article and photos. Very interesting.

That sounds likes plan. I would like to get some firsthand Baha stories as well. It's been years since we were in Mexico. I hope hurricane Irene does not cause problems on Exit Only in Florida.

My boat is in Florida, the glacier is in Alaska, and I am in Arizona earning Freedom Chips. That is not the formula for sailing Exit Only to a glacier.

Having digital media solves the transport problem. When I started shooting a documentary in Australia with a Canon XL1, the transport mechanism did not even last a month in the outback, and it had to be repaired in Sydney for $400. We finally mounted a hard drive on the Canon XL1 and XL2...

My wife made all the arrangements, and she selected an end of season cruise which was less expensive. The weather is always the luck of the draw, and we had good weather with very little rain, and lots of overcast. There were a couple of sunny hours each day. The sea was flat calm the whole...

The weak point on video cameras is the transport mechanism if you are using any camera with tape. Most video cameras have a duty cycle that includes birthdays and holidays - just a few hours a year on the transport mechanism. If you start using a camera a great deal, the transport mechanism is...

When Team Maxing Out sailed around the world on Exit Only, we made a trade wind circumnavigation. The advantage of a trade wind circumnavigation is that we were almost always warm. We dropped our anchor in tropical paradise where palm trees swayed in the breeze and turquoise water surrounded...

Move to a place where it is warm, and you don't need the snow cover.

Trips put lots of things in perspective. Every time I return from a trip, it gets harder to return to work and increases my desire to be on the road again.

Owning Land Rovers is one of the few healthy addictions. At least I hope it is healthy because I have owned six of them.

I have done the inside passage, but not the land route. I look forward to making the trip on land. The wilderness is simply awesome in that region of the world. The photographic opportunities are unlimited, and I can hardly wait to make the trip.

Good idea. I was expecting a massive Aussie presence in this section. There is so much good stuff to see and do in Oz. It could get crowded if everyone finds out how great it is in Oz.

Very nice. Keep posting the photos.

Thanks for the photos. Inspiring me to do some more trips in Oz.

Awesome photos. Thanks for these spectacular shots.

The 130 does have away of growing on you, especially when doing expeditionary travel with four adults in the vehicle. If you are going remote for weeks at a time, just food and water takes up a lot of space. If you are shooting a documentary with lots of expensive gear to get good lighting and...

The best modification on our Ozzie Defender 130 is the full length Black Widow storage drawers. They lock securely, and they don't let in much bull dust. That's where we stored all of our SLR and video cameras for outback photography. The drawers are large enough that we could put padded...

OZZIE OUTBACK MURALS - LIFE BEFORE CELL PHONES, TEXTING AND TWITTER I like people in the outback. They are more than good mates; they are real people. What you see is what you get without apologies. Political correctness hasn't made it's way to the outback, and I hope it doesn't make a...

I worked in Saudi Arabia for eleven years and experienced one Gulf War before our family took off and sailed around the world on our Privilege 39 Catamaran. It's certainly a great family adventure, and my kids consider it to be one of the high points of their lives. It's a worthwhile goal, and...

Every night on your Ozzie Adventures, you look up in the sky and see the southern cross. The center of the cross is the location of the celestial south pole, and the height of the cross above the horizon is your latitude in the southern hemisphere. If you want to see the Southern Cross in the...
