    What could possibly go wrong??

      Captain Dan was telling me that it happens a little bit but I had never heard of it with the Dolphins before, and I still feel so blessed to have seen it three hours into my first ever sail.
      The bioluminescence happens quite often on the Gippsland Lakes And it’s where I live so if and when I get my own boat, I’ll definitely get out there to try to experience it again and film it a little more comprehensively. Thanks so much for the encouragement, cheers mate.

    Great video. You have a great way about you to tell a story. Sailing will change your life for the better. It will test you to the max but then give you moments only few people get to experience. Keep sailing and telling the story - you are on the right floating pathway. Good Luck.

    Love it! Subscribed and looking forward to watching more. I too have a serious spine injury - resulting from a training accident in military flight training, where I have titanium fusion of pretty much my entire neck down to my thoracic section (C2 to T1), and more in my lumbar spine (L4 to L5, S-I), but I'm hoping to still be able to do what you're doing - retire (I'm 54) and live and cruise on a sailboat.

      A mate of mine said that the reason the video is getting so many views is because people had to watch it three times to understand what I was saying 🤣🤣 it might be a good strategy! 🤣
