Default Hello Sailor

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

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

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

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.

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

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