I didn't go anywhere - feeling a bit crook. Hopefully tomorrow.

Several people have posted their sail trips in the highly popular "What did you do to your sailing boat today?" thread. I'm hoping this thread could become the go-to place to update us on your little sailing adventures - after all, sailing is the point, right?

It's the weekend (a long one here in NSW) so... where did you go on your sailing boat today???

Photos if possible please.

I just got in from a slow trip around mudjimba island off maroochydore. more wind coming back. Bit of a flop around as we left mooloolaba at 9am. I hate it when kayaks pass us. Then had a wonderful BBQ and wine back in the bay and a swim. Water warming up perfect day on the boat. Except dropped the gas regulator in the water. Very embarrassing. Found it with a quick dive and seemed to work ok.

I'm out to peel island next weekend. Can't wait.

I just got back from there.. it was like a floating city this weekend and not enough room to swing a cat. some guy in a bay cruiser lay down anchor about 10 meters from my bow.. I saw him sweat this morning when I pulled up anchor and drfted about 2 meters from him before I could run back to the cockpit and bang it in reverse to avoid a collision.

Went Woodford bay to rose bay. No wind but nice and hot. Pulled up neilsons park for a swim. Got over taken by a kayaker on full throttle....

Sounds like a good day, Radar.

Steve, we also got overtaken by a few kayaks sailing in light winds. For lunch we anchored in Milk Beach / Hermit Bay, a stone's throw from Shark Bay (what everyone, us included, calls Neilson Park). Milk Beach is a nice little spot actually, protected from North East and yesterday full of frolicking young persons.

Guests swam to beach while I cleaned up the water intakes and scraped the barnacles off the prop which were restricting me to 20K revs! Been waiting for the water to warm up. NorEaster kicked in over lunch so we could have a better sail around the harbour. Got back in time to see the delayed start of the NRL war and watch my team win! Nice day.

... oh, forgot the photos:

I lost my head:



And we had sex on the boat too!

We sailed up to Sydney Harbour from Botany Bay and saw some MC38s, nice toys ;) then sailed back.

Geez they are ugly, a thirty eight foot plank with a mast and sails .... or another way ...... a thirty eight foot skiff. They should operate out of the Sydney Flying Squadron, or the NSW 18 footer league.

20 minutes of fairly boring footage with me having rant about half way through but the sound seems to have not exported very well so it might be a bit quite. It was this weekend sailing Moreton bay QLD

You looked rather tense at the start! I'm glad you took a nap and relaxed a bit!

just completed a discovery trip.
Quick run to Yellow Patch...Cape Capricorn
stay a couple of nights, return was a bit rough
stay overnight at Hummocky and resting a night at Leekes GKI.

Say Charriot, do you have the current way-points into Yellow Patch and could you post them please?

I went aground trying to get in last time and I determined to get in there next year.

Nice to meet you both. :)
