Great spot Gravy 7!
I really like how the bush comes right down to the waters edge in the Sydney area.
A bit limited up the creeks for sailing though.
Nice looking boat.
Must be middle of the week in winter, no-one gets a mooring in Pinta Bay! All the liveaboards and houseboats always seem to be there.
It is one of the most secluded, and beautiful, spots in the world. Not sure which icon fills the emotion for green with envy, but put me down for one.

I couldn't agree more. 
On approach to Deal is. Been out of range for a while now. Went for a sail across Bass Strait on Storm Bay, not my boat but as crew. Had a great time. The journey finished for me on Sat after two weeks at sea.
the boat is a restored fishing boat built in Tas in 1925. Has a wet well and we had 5 cray pots on board with a Tas pot lisence for each crew member. Will post more pics of the adventure we had
Sorry about the pic above. Seems like i can't edit it to fix it up.
A few more pics from the journey to the Tas wooden boat festival.
The boats anchored in East Cove on Deal.

A hint of what the Mornington Peninsula looked like before European occupation and the Shea Oak trees where cut down for the lime kilns and firewood for Melbourne Town:

A video of the Jane Kerr our travelling companion built by Garry Stewart of Port Fairy
Garry Stuart and Garry Kerr where both on board for the journey to Tass:
Sailed up the Brisbane River to Brisvegas today, with an incoming tide (unlike last time). Nice spot next to the Botanic Gardens.
After provisioning in nelsons bay had pleasant if short sail around to salamander bay, away from the roll, the lights and the Barnical mooring. Very nice.
Sailed from Mooloolaba this morning - beautiful, but calm conditions.
Ended up tackling Wide Bay Bar with a 25 - 30 knot Nor Easter, fun times!
9.8 knots top speed, not bad for a live aboard cruiser.
Now anchored in Pelican Bay.

I want one!!
Rain rain go away, come back another day.
We've been at Great Keppel Island a few days now waiting for the wind and rain to ease - crap BBQing weather.
Just completed the Sabre State Titles down here in sunny Tassie!!
Blew like stick on Saturday, only got one race in. Was gusting 30 with 30deg shifts, scary as hell at times!! 25 boats started that race and only 14 finished!!
Ended up 12th out of 27 which seeing I was in a 30 year old boat I was happy with.
Great class and racing and man oh man they can go. Watched the leading pack go around the top mark in the first race in a 30 knot gust, they were just flying!!!

Well done Rumble
Light winds and sunshine for the Jeanneau owners Rendezvous on Pittwater. We managed to show quite a few bigger boats a clean pair of heels with our new square top mainsail.

Very nice beer Stine nice Winch to
The correct spelling is 'Wench".
Shoal bay to north bay Broughton island, sea was messy with a few big swells. It's not much more of a roll than Shoal bay, if you can put the closeness of the beach and the reef out of mind it's ok !

No I need a couple of self tailors Winch Cisco
Nothing interesting but I did get both sails up and go for a sail for the first time since Lord Howe last November.
sirgallivant and I met at the Drummoyne Sailing Club and sailed MB up to the heads and back. Light breeze, touched 5 kts once or twice, mostly 2-3 kts and sometimes 1.5.
Boat is going great. Very little water in the bilge.
Lovely day and had a pleasant sail with another Seabreezer.
Indeed, it was a very quiet but very pleasant day in great company.
Thanks MB.
Hope, we go again, soon.
Broughton island to tuncurry. Not enough wind to fill a sail, I suppose that's why we have motors. Seas were a little bit messy leaving Broughton and again around seal rocks. Lots of pile moorings to choose from in tuncurry step on jobs at that !
Yesterday, Forster tuncurry to Camden haven left with a light westerly then the sea went glass then a ENE suited our purpose, a very nice day out. Now to explore laurieton while we wait on the weather.

You can anchor just off the jetty near the RSL - and get a cheap feed there.
Not my boat, obviously.
Booked this 6 months ago for my sons 14th birthday.
Day out on the james craig sailing out through the heads.
Very friendly crew.
Great day.
Testing our new kite today in really light airs. I was worried, we were slower than I expected, till I realised the diver hadn't been for the hull clean, which is worth a knot and a half. Doh!
Woko, i was hoping to say Gday if you came into Camden Haven.
But i sailed to Port Stephans overnight getting here this arvo.
Enjoy your stay.

Ships in the night, so to speak. Had a great time at the club last night good food, good grog and an excellent SHOWER ! ( most probably have to do it all again today)
