So here we are once again on the ocean instead of the pond that is Pittwater. There is a lot of buz in the air with fabulous clear skies, a 3 day public holiday and football grand finals to be played. Water craft of every variety are around including sea planes. They are headed in all directions. We would like a bit more wind, we've tried out all the sails including Big Red, but motor sailing, assisted by a 2knot southerly running current, seems to be the go. Ha ha once again we present as a Motor Yacht with optional sails. While there isn't exactly a timetable, we are mindful of the 2:30pm Spit Bridge opening. It would be a shame to miss it and need to wait for the later opening time.
The Bloke is highly excited too as he knows that the makings for sausage rolls were included in this weeks shopping and his favourite snack is likely to emerge from the galley for all the socialising that is to come!
So our blue dot is on the move again and we'll post some snaps at days end.
And here they are.....
Start of the long-week end. Visitors to Coasters Retreat arriving in a certain 'style'?
RPAYC cruisers motor sailing up Pittwater

Boats going in all directions.
Following SV Mixed Nutz around North Head
Proof that are loonies everywhere, the Bloke needed to attract the attention of the skipper of this powerboat who was otherwise engaged admiring the 'babes' he'd got on board with him. We had already avoided hitting this idiot who was swimming across a congested and narrow waterway near the Spit Bridge - a candidate for the 'Darwin Award'?
