Sailing and boat maintenance is my hobby. After that comes rowing.
If you are visiting Australia, why don't you come and sail with us in Port Phillip Bay.
Current location:
Melbourne, Australia
Destinations visited:
Australia = Port Phillip Bay: Blairgowrie & Geelong + Hastings; Whitsundays
Thailand = Phuket Race Week 2006, 2010, 2011 & 2013, Jomtien Beach - Top of the Gulf Regatta 2009 & 2011.
Vietnam = Halong Bay
USA = Buzzards Bay, MA
Looking to:
Learn to cruise and in the future possibly looking for short term crew to sail SE Asian countries of Indonesia, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Burma, Philippines and Vietnam.
Learn from other members on how to equip a boat for cruising.

Hey tell me..Ive been there...anything to get installed is a total boat tear up...I plan to sail it this summer messed up, and then get it back to livable space.
Thanks for your message last night I wasn't awake that late. I bought a boat around Thanksgiving time and am learning to sail on that boat. I took a few lessons from my friend, but I have crew that are also teaching me on my own boat. I just have to get my heat exchanger back on after a cleaning so I can go sailing again.

Hi h, thanks for the reply.
Not on the site for quite awhile. I see others in the old group are not on much either.
I gotta get the boat out soon. I have been teaching art a lot, and busy on Facebook. I think everyone went to Facebook.
So are you at the new floating docks?
The song on your video is beautiful
