Happy Yuletide to you both - look forward to seen more of your adventures in the Southerly a boat I will be purchasing some time in the future and also doing the same route as you both did, very informative blog or what ever it’s called thank you .
Thank you - it still amazes me when a little digging around unearths some story about people that isn’t evident on the surface. Wishing you a peaceful time this Christmas.
The sunken ketch, a story, as relayed to me by one or two crusty old salts at Port Napoleon over way too much beer: it apparently has been there for over a decade, and belonged to a guy who decided to cut the corner, ran aground, and could not afford a tow off - so he just... removed all registration marks and booked it. It then was pushed higher onto the sandbank, sank, and has since been covered by sand. Whether or not the timeline is correct, nobody knows, but was there in 2019 when I first arrived :)
@@sailingoptions it is, but at the same time it's now kind of part of the environment, and the lore of the region which, well, maybe not a good end for a boat, but not a bad one either.

Thank you we’re enjoying some grandparenting, with fingers crossed that Options will be upright when we return 😮😂

Thank you for shedding light on the story about the ketch - sad isn't it when we see abandoned boats.
