Enjoy your channel. Live on the Gold Coast and I retiring soon. Upgraded from a power boat to a small yacht and intend spending a lot more time on the Broadwater and Moreton Bay.
From your video it looks as if you have covid 19 under control, here in Ontario Canada we are in complete lockdown again, no travel except for work,groceries and medical, no ,going to your cottage,boat or trailer and no golf and schools have been shut down again and all stores shut down ecxept for groceries and pharmacys. They say this is until at least May 20 if not longer. Your lucky to be able to be on your boat, i can't even go to see mine. Sorry your new crew member left, but boats are not for everyone , especially if the weather gets nasty .
Yep agree that not all love the sea. Sorry to hear about Covid in your country. I think we are lucky here. A small population and a government that went hard early. The only cases we see are coming in from overseas, most in hotel quarantine. The contact tracing they have set up is pretty good also. Hang tough dude.
I've binge-watched your adventures. I admire Peggy-Anne. I'm in North Carolina, U.S.A. and curious. What is the significance of your yellow pennant with the 4 red X'es on your inner forestay? I couldn't find it anywhere on google.
Wow. Goodaye North Carolina. Four X is a very iconic Queensland Beer. Has been brewed in Brisbane for more than 100 years. I actually put the pendant there to give me an idea of wind direction. The story goes that the beer was named xxxx because Queenslander's couldn't spell beer. Hope you're staying safe from Covid over there dudes.
Jesus norm it’s hard to find a women as a traveling partner , have you ever thought of getting another dog , we would like one but it just ties us down to much at our present point in life .
Yep thought about it Richard, but they do tie you down a lot. There are places I can travel now without poor old Pippy. Still miss her though. She used to get jittery when we travelled, but still hung around.
Cool vid mate Im enjoying your travels Dude
Thanks Dude It's a pleasure.
You're so lucky to get fireworks on your return. Famous man! :-)
Very!
Years ago I lived near the Tweed River. A beautiful blue river.
Cheers Gray

It's a brand of Aussie beer called XXXX.
That flag indicates that the captain is a fair-dinkum Queenslander. Especially important when traveling in southern waters..🍻
@@davidroberts1960 Thanks, I thought it had something to do with Queensland. And, looks like Norm drinks a good deal of good coffee too.

Coffee and rum mate. ...Not at the same time. But sometimes.
“Gotta buy a bigger boat” - before you invite the next lady. QE11 might do it.
Maybe there are some cheap ones around at the moment dude.
