Hello Sailor
 
1 Attachment(s)
Spent the last 3 days out on the boat.

Left the marina at Redcliffe, where it is moored, and went to Tangalooma where we anchored up and messed about for a while.

caught a few fish and drank a lot of beer:thumbup:

Here is a pic of Mrs G and me being deckhands.

That is the breeze in my shirt.....not muscles:o

Got so used to the roll of the boat that we are both still rocking

Now thats the life.

I'll admit that I would really like to spend a few days travelling about like that.

All I've got is one of these.... I haven't used it in ages either

1. Because I dont have a boat Licence....
2. Because I'm too busy damn well working. .... most of the time...

I remember another picture of it - I thought the same - not a boat - but a gin palace!

Very timely G - myself and a mate are looking into building one. He's the designer, I'm the gofer, so I don't care what it looks like - let's see where we get to.

I had to inspect a large boat that had been damaged and thought exactly that so I googled it.

There is no real answer, but most people reckon that if it wider than 10 mtrs then it can be classed as a ship.

It's certainly a big boat....getting on for 50 feet in length but not 10 metres wide.

It was a gin palace on Xmas day....we had 3 fridges on the go to hold the beer, wine and Champagne.:thumbup:

Sadly, it is not mine.....it belongs to my son and his G/F.....I could not afford the diesel:o

Still.....if they won't let us on it we will stop his pocket money:lol:
