Yep, great spot to meet sailors. I was there once 30 years ago and there were 15 boats all rafted up to the jetty, with wild weather outside. Made lots of friends that week. Some ladies from Laurieton organised to pick us all up in a mini bus and took us to the top of North Brother. How good was that. Cheers mate
Good job on the hoses Norm, you can always look back on your footage to see where the hoses go lol. I know you would have marked yours prior to taking them off. Merry Xmas mate and thanks for the excellent entertainment you have provided during our horrid year .Catch you on the next one mate.
Yep. I didn't mark them, but having installed the system had a pretty good idea of the circuit. Marking them would have saved a bit of thought. Merry Xmas to you too mate and a better New Year,
Awesome vid,nice touch showing a bit of the conveniences and amenities along the way for cruisers,nobody is doing this really in Australia that I’ve seen.How long can one tie up at that public wharf for,are there any courtesy buoys in the area?cheers from Newcastle.
Yeah mate. 3 public mooring just off the jetty and I would reakon a few days would be Ok at the wharf. Have seen lots of boats rafted up there. Cheers dude.
That looked to be a fairly easy project but plenty messy with all of that hydraulic fluid on the floor of the engine compartment. Was it expensive to have the hose pro come down to where you were at and custom cut those hoses? As for all of that old old, how do you get rid of "hazardous waste" like that down under? Are there strict rules regarding its' disposal or not? Glad you've can look forward to another twenty years of service from those new ones!
Yeah messy, but not too complicated Edward. Had to store the dirty fluid in some drums I keep for the purpose. I'll dispose of it next oil change, when I'll be near an oil recycling drop off. Plenty of rules. The hoses were a little exy, but he did a great job and came to me, so can't complain. Merry Xmas mate and Happy New Year.
Interesting to see Laurieton. Great old cinema. Will definitely put this one on the list.
Yep. great spot Phil and the club makes you really welcome.
15 years ago I lived near Laurieton at Kew. I regularly drove to the free jetty and met sailors from all over the world.
Cheers Gray
