Looking for sailing, cruising and sharing experiences with new friends.
Hi.
If I can assist with your travels, please contact me.

Married 35 years and still can’t figure out how they work; slow learner?
Conservative by nature and have trouble accepting WOKE at the moment. RSL volunteer.
Dislikes are Bill Shorten, the Collingwood FC and coriander.
Usually out fishing in my trailer boat and participate in several fishing charters each year both here and abroad. Most fishing is catch and release or given to the locals.

Happy to chat if you wish.
Thanks,

Greg is a lovely Guy, He unfortunately was always second guessing. You could tell he had some boating experience however not so much sailing experience. These were basic things like what's the mainsheet etc. Some dinghy sailing would help greg so he knows how to feel what works and what doesn't. Its more difficult on a larger vessel as you dont typically feel all the feedback and things are a lot more subtle. Typically crew members know that they dont own the vessel and go with the lead of the owner of the vessel ie dont just start the engine when the skippers checking oil etc. So we decided to stop off at Mackay instead. I found it difficult to relax around Greg as I was always wary as to what he would do next. Would be more competent on a motor vessel, navigation was okay, engine systems okay, sailing was lacking in experience.
