After completing the observatory I started to feel that I needed a new project...as I could not get into my little tinnie from the jetty on my dam..my legs you see are not flash.. I thought I will drag it out so I don't have to attend to it in the water...well the funniest thing...I found I could get in and out when it was by the shore....so I thought great if I get a trailer and motor I can go fishing...Anyways I have been working on this little boat ( 12 ft tinnie) and decided to add a mast and sail..so I have done that and this morning finished making the sail..I used a cotton drip ( er drop?) sheet which I dyed red yesterday..what a drama...soon I will get the trailer I bought sorted and today the new outboard should turn up...so it's all happening.
I am thinking a sailing trip up the coast because it would be a decent challenge in a small open boat.
It's so nice to hear of the wonderful relationship you have.
AND I am very happy that you are enjoying this thread ...I must say that I am also enjoying being involved and communicating with real people.
You take care of you both and enjoy your travels on your nice new electric bike.

Glad to see you are still snubbing your nose at any of the health issues you have had and are meeting new challenges Alex. Just make sure you wear a life jacket. I too enjoyed sailing for many years down here in the Southern Ocean in a small 19ft sloop. If you find the time a photo of your little dinghy with the mast and sail up would be nice. But if you find you are too busy, no matter . Best wishes Alex. I always enjoy posts of your advenrures.
Cheers, Richard
