Sailing at Moreton Bay
I got an amazing day sailing on Saturday, just turned up at the local yacht club in Moreton Bay.
I ended up crewing on a nice 34ft yacht, not sure what type but she sailed well. She could not point very high but we got it boogying and got our lean on.
Returning from the trip with the crew, got beers and homemade sausage rolls - magic!
Just Chilling
Heading for the second mark, good winds and flat seas.
We got out early as, we were a bit of a slow pig and some of the boats were amazing
The little head to head we had. They ended up getting us before the final leg.
On Sunday I decided to check out EKKA, everyone was going on about it but was not really impressed, small and not very diverse! It felt like going to a large pet day with a few food and clothing stores. The field days at Mystery Creek are far better and more interesting.
So I decided to hit the Maritime Museum.
Old Tug
Ella Watson's yacht, really nice - still in full working order, I did not realise how old this boat was (Built 1984). Crazy to think such a small boat has been round the world.
But then you see this little boat, called Happy II, it has made it around the world - a brave mad man sailed this one.
Old School Floating lighthouse
This boat is amazing you can spend all day walking around her, she is massive.
Well that was my short weekend, good fun may even head out for another sail next weekend as I will be back in Brizzy.
