Sailing the Great Sandy Straights - Sailing Australia - Learning By Doing EP 68
In this video we finally set sail again! So nice to be back on the ocean, it makes all the effort, hard work and frustration worthwhile. The new boat exceeds expectations during the first night when winds reach over 40 knots and we cross the wide bay bar early the next morning with problems. The next few days are spent heading north in mellow but cold conditions. The low winds also give me the chance to fly my asymmetric spinnaker, a sailing first for me.
We have 2 inflatable boards from Swiss company Indiana and take the chance to go paddling up a fresh water creek.
All in all a great start to the trip.
