I did it! I did it!! Sailed up to Yamba 60 nm. 2 crew but first time with me being the most experienced. .feel like a Skipper now.

That's so good McNaught ! Well done ,.......Skip !!

Scrubbing 5 years of growth of the bottom of my new endeavour 24

Find out what antifoul that was.
For 5 years i would be happy with that

I pulled mine out after 18 months and it was thick .
I think WA must have too many nutrients running out of the Swan.

Yes, Dr Rog. They are 2 of my crew. I have 3 feline crew. I was indeed very happy. They one with the huge smile was just after I slid off the cockpit seat onto the floor.

Thanks Sands, Libran and Sam .... just go do it Sam. It's a great feeling being out in the space of the ocean.

Thanks Trace,
The cats went through stages. On the marina yhey were completely happy. When I anchored out in the harbour and it was roly Missy just lay on the floor looking seasick for about a day. By a couple of days all three weee scampering around regardless of the swell. When my son was pulling the anchor and I was doing laps of the harbour in the dark at 4 am Milly was scampering round the deck and up on the boom but when we went out into the swell they all found corners to hide for about 5 hours. Then they settled and slept quite happily the rest of the way.

Well toaday I didn't go sailing. I just sat here in the marina and watched the storm clouds build up.

Got to replace the annodes in the heat exchanger and replce the fuel filters.

OH, I also had to empty a bottle of Merlot that was taking up more than it's fair share of room in the fridge. Storm clouds don't look so bad now.

Looks like a good sail Selkie

Did you sail out of Newport Marina? If so I have a friend sailing into there tomorrow. I'll p.m. you.

Yep I do the overland thing with my navionics forgetting to turn it off too... lol.

Thanks Andy

Cammeray to Botany Bay , great conditions and reached terrifying speeds ( for my boat anyway lol ) good to get back out on the water after being interstate for 5 months . Although some would say she is best kept out of sight in a quiet backwater . ( the more mature ones her will understand that lol ) she is mine and I love her .



Sorry still can't work out how to turn images from the iPad

Sitting at Jibbon beach after a great sail down having a coffee reading Cruising Helmsman thinking of the BBQ we are going to have for tea.
How good is sailing

Beautiful. Years ago mate and I used to sail our Flying Fifteen from Yowie Bay to Jibbon with disposable BBQ, esky with steaks and some salad in Tupperware, bread rolls and a couple of six packs.

Glory days for sure. Looks like you are in company with an S&S 34.
