The Australian media has been all abuzz this week about an ‘Antarctic Vortex’. A bad cold front that has been heading up the coast. While a little cool it mean’t some decent westerly winds for a fast sail up Pittwater. By the time we settled down for the evening in a deserted Coaster’s Retreat ( This place is usually like a floating caravan park in summer) the winds were easing and it was warm enough for some fun ashore amongst the local swamp wallabies and Kookaburra’s before Spaghetti Bolognese back onboard.
Sophie is pretty good at driving the tender these days!

Took a bit of a break from the socials while we have been in Australia working and topping up the cruising kitty.Throwback Thursday to our halcyon days last season in Greece. Sophie is off to the bakery for Loukoumades while I’m fending off a couple charter boats! We are looking forward to getting back out there. #throwbackthursday #kids4sailOne of the most important things I learnt as a sailor was the ability to heave to in a storm. For non sailors this is a manoeuvre where when faced with adverse winds you set the sails such that the boat is no longer making forward progress but is now safe and calm. For the moment we are hove to. While we are currently unable to get back to our beloved boat in Greece, we are safe, healthy and in good spirits isolating here in Australia. We have much to smile about and be thankful for while waiting for a time when we will again be sailing. Sending all the good vibes to everyone near and far ⛵️👊😷#cleanhandsopenhearts #saltlife #kids4sail-
