You blokes need to get a sailor type real fast.

That friggin yacht will have seized sail operating gear and a worn out

donk shortly.

How long since the sails have been up and used fellas :?:

On the contrary Gary, we've become very proficient at all aspects of motoring, anchoring, manouvering, navigating and mooring over the past 12 months... :notworthy:

We've also become particularly good at emergency repairs...!!! :violent1:

And now that Ralph has repaired the headsail, we might even get a sail in as well... $\:D/$

Mind you, sailing is not overly conducive to cooking bacon and eggs, not having a gimbal stove...

'Bout 4 weeks ago Gaz... :-k

We'll post some photos next time we've got them up... :thumbright:

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!

Berocca and enough coffee to drown your hangovers in, before imbibing a couple
