But what's with leaving the wife at home!!!

...

Naughty, generally I prefer to sail with my partner - she makes most things more enjoyable. However, she doesn't like to take many 'risks' and in her eyes many things are risky. She doesn't much enjoy heeling, sailing to windward, going too far offshore, rain, cold, etc. So sometimes it's good to just get out alone or with a better sailor and fun with it.
She does make nice meals and a damn fine cup of tea though.

Nice to see the warm sentiments shared about your wives Dr Rog and Franrick.

I see my romance thread is slipping further behind... in similarity to where it is slipping in real life.

Don't despair, McNaughty, your romance thread is apparently the second most popular (replied to) thread on this forum to date*, behind What did you do to your sailing boat today and ahead of Where did you go on your sailing boat today. So it seems people are interested in fixing, fekcing, and floating, in that order.

Perhaps if people did more floating and less fixing they'd do more fekcing?

* not including the ferro boat to fiji thread (fighting) which seems to have disappeared.

Burnett Heads [0330] to 1770 [1400].

Had a great sail, 5.5 to 6.5 knots which for a Top Hats excellent.

No wind after 1100 so had to help with the iron sail.

Sounds like a great trip Mark. Get the latest info on the WB Bar from Coast Guard Tin Can Bay.

Apparently there has been a shift with the sand bar at one of the way points.

Say Captain, where are you going to hide from Wednesday avo on when the bad weather comes in.
If you can make it, plenty of room at Pancake creek.

Motored up today from 1770, no wind for sailing, dead flat seas with a gentle NE'er [headwind on the nose!].

Went sailing in Pittwater with the Missus (both new to sailing). Started off with a nice breeze and only had headsail up.
Not too long before it was blowing 30+ knts. Missus said "this is scary, we're going too fast". I said "Darl we're
doing about 5MPH" I suppose it was a good job we didn't have the mainsail up too (need lazyjacks). Envy you blokes
who know how to do it all. But, we'll get there.
