Henry Mickel & Bayley Richardson // Sailing REVELRY Home to Oz

Henry Mickle & Bayley Richardson are self-described "Mates from the Land Down Under", cruising around the world in an old Beneteau. These two twenty-something friends made a pact, worked the asses off, saved their money, bought a boat and are living the dream, figuring it out as they go, but with knowledge and experience earned from working professionally offshore in Australia's oil industry. I spoke to them onboard FALKEN on anchor in Barbados about their wild highs and scary lows of their adventure so far in their mission to sail Revelry home to Australia.
