Bloody good cruising up north Robbie, well put together video mate. Tell you what though, shows what a pain in the neck boats can be. Gotta drop $250k for the pleasure of being an expert at diesel mechanics, rigging maintenance, hull scrubbing and anti fouling, ground tackle maintenance, self sufficient power production, water desalination/catchment and the list goes on. Almost combines the maintenance of a trailer boat, house and rural off grid property into one fun package. Makes a lot of sense to grab a decent 4wd/caravan setup and just cop the cost of diesel for a lap of Aus. Hats off to you and anyone that keeps a sizeable yacht on the water and cruising. Too bad we love the floating pricks of things right!
Hi Stephen, no worries, hopefully will definitely catch up in the future. Make sure you come over and say hello. Take care and thanks so much for watching
Hey Robbie, I thought that you are on a SAILING ketch. What is this bullshite about a motor? I bet those other swashbuckling pirates like Captain Morgan (or is that a rum) did not rely on engines. Regards, John Mac
Good to hear from you Johnny Mac, hope all is well. I have to have an engine to run my still you fool, any good pirate knows a man can’t make bourbon with sails alone. Take care buddy…..
