All Aboard The “One And All”
On a recent trip to Port Lincoln, we were fortunate enough to see the “One and All” while it was docked.
We had a friend who was heading off on a 5 day voyage so we were expecting it to be in Lincoln over the weekend.
Sunday morning we went to have a look.
The “One and All” runs youth development programs throughout the year.
It’s an awesome opportunity for young people to learn how to sail a ship, work as a team and achieve things they never dreamed they’d ever achieve.
Reports have it that kids are never the same after a stint on the ship.
Our school gets an opportunity to send students about once every 4-5 years.
But what we didn’t realise until speaking with staff is that you can nominate your child to travel on a voyage and they will slot you in to an available slot.
It’s a more expensive way of going on the ship but an awesome opportunity nonetheless.
While we were there, we were invited to come aboard and have a look at the ship.
We weren’t expecting to be able to go on board so it was a nice surprise.
We’ve told our kids that if they’re at all interested in going on the ship, we’d be happy to pay the money. It would be an absolutely awesome and life changing experience for them.
And now that they’ve actually been on the ship, maybe they’ll even decide to do that?

What an awesome opportunity! I’d love to have a look around on that ship.
Only in port though, I’m not sure I’d like to do a sail on her.
Would be a wonderful thing to do, Heidi always wanted to do it but realised that her level of sea sickness it just wouldn’t be a good thing. How wonderful that you got to all go on board
River - I don’t think I’d like to sail on her either but “shhh…don’t tell my kids that”.
Katrina - good point re sea sickness. My kids got sea-sick going out to the Great Barrier Reef so not sure how they’d go with that.
