Where did you go on your sailing boat today?

I see my romance thread is slipping further behind... in similarity to where it is slipping in real life.

Don't despair, McNaughty, your romance thread is apparently the second most popular (replied to) thread on this forum to date*, behind What did you do to your sailing boat today and ahead of Where did you go on your sailing boat today. So it seems people are interested in fixing, fekcing, and floating, in that order.

Perhaps if people did more floating and less fixing they'd do more fekcing?



* not including the ferro boat to fiji thread (fighting) which seems to have disappeared.

A step up from my last ex!
Never to be on the market until I lie in my warm grave!
She's my baby now!

She is a right thing southace.

Big Woody Island, [Great Sandy Strait] to Burnett Heads in 9 hours [was champagne sailing!] and another one to Cisco's place,

Many thanks for the evening meal C & K and for your ongoing help, even if I had to climb the gate!

Having a lazy day today so not sailing but I pulled my gopro out a couple of weeks ago and grabbed a few shots of a bloody lovely sail.

hey seebreezers around the sandy straits, keep an eye out for my yacht melita, atm we are anchored at double is. crossing w/bay tomorrow morning, hanging around for about 1 week. we are with 5 boats from our marina in tweed heads. waiting for 1 more stragler (still on the hard at the gold coast) we plan to regroup, then continue to great keppel via lady elliot and musgrave, herron etc. we are a party within our selves and off course more folks the the better. mark

Many thanks for the up load DR Rog enjoyed it

Sounds like a great trip Mark. Get the latest info on the WB Bar from Coast Guard Tin Can Bay.

Apparently there has been a shift with the sand bar at one of the way points.

Say Captain, where are you going to hide from Wednesday avo on when the bad weather comes in.
If you can make it, plenty of room at Pancake creek.

Motored up today from 1770, no wind for sailing, dead flat seas with a gentle NE'er [headwind on the nose!].

yeah nsw that light n/e was not what i expected this morning but inskip pt to garys was a fun sail w/nw with 18kt gusts, pancake would be safe for sure. we are waiting for the last of our group whom is now sailing past cape moreton, might wait around here. urangun to rooneys then the ladies when all is good, will keep an eye out for you on our travels. cheers

Went sailing in Pittwater with the Missus (both new to sailing). Started off with a nice breeze and only had headsail up.
Not too long before it was blowing 30+ knts. Missus said "this is scary, we're going too fast". I said "Darl we're
doing about 5MPH" I suppose it was a good job we didn't have the mainsail up too (need lazyjacks). Envy you blokes
who know how to do it all. But, we'll get there.
