so how did it all go "getting into the swing" at the start of the brisbane to gladstone yacht race MOWER - those yachties can be pretty devilish company ??
I have done a bit of sailing myself over the years with my brother in law first dinghies and cattarmarans, then in his trailer sailer the - lakes in east Gippsland and also down the east coast of wilsons promontory... I always get a buzz when i see yachts in full sail and love the sound from moored yachts of rigging tinkling against the masts.
the start of the Sydney - Hobart yacht race on tele was a ritual we shared on boxing days, beers in hand of course.... he died before his time shortly after completing his lifetime dream of sailing up the east coast, Melbourne to Bundaberg, in his home built 34 foot steel yacht.
