    Hi Norm, I am sorry I missed you we will cross paths one day. I'm a couple of weeks off home in the Brisbane River. I am finding to hot this time of the year sitting out in the sun no shade. I get the boat ready for next season. Go home do maintenance on the house to keep my wife happy. Safe sailing Norm regards Simon

    Wow Norm! Your headsail is way bigger than I thought. Having friends like this is so nice, especially when have the tools you need! I was very impressed at how you handled the docking maneuver. Well done sir.
