This Week's Catch

Not the biggest, but by far the coolest spots. They let this one go. A fine catch indeed.

Boatyard Mishap

Found this out there and thought it was interesting. Notice aft portside in this picture. One of the slings gave way while two people were onboard.... but I'll bet no one else has a picture of their boat that's like this one!

Last of the vacation pics....

Leftover "Bits", As Aussie Jimmy Would Say

We had some leftover "bits" that we threw into this video from vacation....

The storm in the video got worse, and right at the end of the video I told Rick, (my brother) that we should head to the building at the marina....

another couple got caught in the storm while trying to come into the marina.... they were a little shook up.

Vacation Video

It's been a long time since we all saw each other, so pulling out the video camera wasn't always thought of at the right times... but here's what we got!

Long Trip Home

We left from Dowry Creek this morning and had a slow but good sail home. We passed several trawlers and of course, every time I see one of these I feel the need to take a picture. Had alot of fun, will post some video soon!
