Absolutely good luck with the yachting, brave thing to do, what an experience.⛵️⛵️ 🫨

Thanks everybody. I’ve made lots of sacrifices for this: bring on the rum and the lash. Incidentally, I’m doing the North Pacific at high latitude…burrrrr.🥶

When you set off Phil, will you post a link to your yacht, so anyone that's interested can follow?

No your not having another Yacht. The last one had to be shipped all the way from Scotland Stick with the bikes

You'll be on the top of my list Phil.
Yes, the last yacht I bought was birthed in Inverkip. It was the depths of winter, snow everywhere. I wanted to get the boat back to Chichester Marina and was considering taken her up through the Great Glen and sailing all the way down the east / south coast. A fair old voyage. But, luckily a chap had just had a boat brought up by low loader from Sunseeker in Poole and it was going back empty, I gave the driver £500 and he delivered it to Chichester for me 😂😂😂

Will do, Julie. I retire in Dec and join on Jan 17th at Airlee Beach, North East Australia. Our yacht is Quingdao.

What a lovely place to start from. I've also sailed around the Whitsunday Islands, that was very special.

Johnny, apologies for hijacking your thread ☺️☺️☺️

[Sesman]

Oh yes, sorry Johnny. Promise not to do it again.

Why not compromise?

No problem! It’s actually developed into something interesting!😂😂😂

Airlie Beach - nice! A friend of ours who used to live over here runs a marina there - it looks amazing from all the piccies I've seen.

My sailing tends to be restricted to small dinghies on the east coast, chilly sometimes..but they are great fun!

[Sesman]

Yup, that’s the one. Does your mate know of any cheap digs for three nights…14th to 16th Jan😀.

I took a 2 day dinghy sailing course in Ripon, North Yorkshire, but spent 90% of the time capsized. Dinghy sailing is tougher than it looks, so congratulations to you.
