Barry And Lyn Cruise







Last Sunday left Tambourine Bay about 0930 with Barry,Lyn and Steffi for a cruise to Sydney harbor.
The wind was from the South 5/10 Knots forecasting to swing to the east freshing to 15/20 Knots.
We motored to the Sydney Opera house and Judith pulled up the Sails. We had a very fresh sail to Watson Bay with only 2 tacks, where we stopped for morning tea. The sun which had been trying to make an appearance all morning decided to give it away and go and hide behind some very black clouds,along with some light rain and the forecast increase in wind strength it made for a very fast sail back down the harbor for lunch.
Berrys bay is well protected form most winds and we anchored in 6 meters of water and had a very impressive lunch.
Barry had to be back early to go to work and as promised we had him back at Tambourine bay at 1530

Orion After the Antifoul


Orion was antifouled last week and what a difference it has made to the speed.
Last Sunday 17/02/2008 we had a 10-15 knot SE wind and sailing on a broad reach my GPS recorded over 7 knots and we where towing the tender.
