Sailing and Cruising Australia
Welcome to my homepage, this is a site about to one of my loves which is sailing/cruising. I am not the worlds most expereinced sailor, but on  this page I am going to share my experiences with you thus far. . I own my second yacht Sandgroper...... Best described as adequate she is alot of fun however!

  For those of you new to sailing who share my passion I hope that this site will help guide you through some of those initial hurdles.  For those of you experienced in sailing and cruising this site will most probably provide you with some amusement as I demonstrate to you how true the saying " some people must learn the hard way" is as I learn more and more about sailing, cruising, people and life!

This site will be different to other sailing sites however. Yes there is technical information here, yes there will be tips and advice, but sailing is all about fun. So the site too will hopefully be about fun.

We live in one of the most beautiful parts of the world here in Australia. I live in Sydney so I have access to both Sydney Harbour and the wonderful crusing grounds of Pittwater and the Hawkesbury. It was one sunny summers day while strolling around the harbour that I decided that this was one of the most stunning harbours in the world, I thought that to have a boat in such a place as this would be a swell idea. The outdoor australian way of life! would could be better? This was the beginning of the journey for me that saw me join a local yacht club,  learn how to sail, buy a yacht and now I am out there sailing every weekend. I can't encourage you more that if your interested give it a go! I beats sitting at home watching TV and wasting your life away.....
Why go sailing????
