I just brought this second hand 93 Patrik ,off buz in gero on the way up ,it was a still a bit lumpy ,hope to go better
but pretty happy to finally get over 35 knots ,my fastest very

We did have a few , lighter wind days 14-18 knots so pack a 7.0 if your coming up here , I had 116 manta which worked a treat , 8 days of sailing everyday, averaged 6 hours a day , sore visited the hot pools , just 15 minutes drive away to sooth the body



We saw Dugongs, turtles,manta rays and a couple of small sharks ,
