On the contrary Gary, we've become very proficient at all aspects of motoring, anchoring, manouvering, navigating and mooring over the past 12 months... We've also become particularly good at emergency repairs...!!! And now that Ralph has repaired the headsail, we might even get a sail in as well...
Mind you, sailing is not overly conducive to cooking bacon and eggs, not having a gimbal stove...

'Bout 4 weeks ago Gaz... We'll post some photos next time we've got them up...
My idea was to *SAIL* the thing over to somewhere like Watsons Bay and
have brekkie there, then go for a leisurely sail around the harbour.
The thing is after all, a sailing boat, not a motor yacht, the engine being
for emergencies and mooring manouevring.

The Rocks Run sounds like a fitness event! We'd better dispell that rumour early in the piece and get the beers underway asap.
Been a while since a beer passed these lips, and Pusser Kelson and his cohort in crime, Mobes Mobley, will need a great deal of qualified supervision.
So I guess you'd better count me in.
Really looking to another flush out of the kidneys!

Good news Buck, I'm in training at the moment so I do my usual trick of drinking you under the table and then sending you on your merry way like a blithering idiot with spittle dribbling out of the side of your mouth and singing Swannie River.
