After what seemed like forever we have got out sailing again. The parents and Killian (brother) visited in February and we had a few great days on the boat. Did a 3 day trip up to Sydney, one night alongside at the CYCA, another anchored under the Zoo in Athol Bay and another up Middle harbour in Bantry Bay. We took the visitors on a full tour of the harbour and even had Dave Cullen (guy I know from College) onboard for a day. Not everything went to plan, the newly fitted tacktick speed and depth was a royal pain in the arse, we had no depth for most of the trip. Its sorted now, turns out the brand spanking new tri-ducer was faulty. Spent another night over in Bundina, lovely evening, Mum and Ray got a bit damp when they took the dinghy ashore and an unsuspecting wave caught them :) Laani and I have even got out for a few short trips out from Cronulla. I suppose its about time now to get back into some work. The plan as it stands is to move on to the boat around June/July. We checked out our 'new home' in Cameray, looks good. So next hurdle, moving onto the boat.........
