- I have had a bit of drama with my video editing program and my graphic card both are now talking to each other, with the help of a friend Felix for now touch wood. Not much content in this one as we were not moving around much waiting to see what was happening out on the water. Now at the entrance to the Mary River hoping to start Heading North again.
Thanks again for a great video.
The vice grips trick was clever.
Love your work
Hi Simon, down here in very lovely Victoria we are NOT TO GO BOATING OR SAILING AT ALL.
And thanks for fixing my name up.
Not a problem Mark. At the moment in Wathumba Creek doing an emergency repair on the sail drive boot.
Stay safe regards,
Simon and Nicole
Looks great!!!!
Jack Carter don’t you wish you were there?
@@darrenbeebe I quite please he is not here. Don't encourage him too much. More space for me.
Nicole
Thanks Simon and Nicole.
Loving your videos Simon (and Nicole), great work. Perfect for lock-down here in NZ where I pretty much can't do anything at the moment. Been watching your channel for a little while now and finding it very helpful being that we have recently purchased a 23ft trailer sailer. You both have a great attitude towards life and it is a pleasure to watch, keep up the good work.
Hope you can get out on the water as soon as you are allowed. NZ is a lovely place, I hope I can get back there post-lock down and visit a few more of the great walks.
Safe Sailing NC.
I’d much rather be there than in Brisbane! Weather looks lovely.
Another great vid Simon. Your in our territory now (Maryborough) .
Thank Peter, Lovely place Maryborough. Easy to do the shopping with a great public jetty.
Cheers NC & Simon
Thank you Simon and Nicole. A lovely trip up the Mary. Will that be the case for all Marinas up the Coast- closed until further notice?
The next place we might stop with a marina is Yeppoon. We hope to sail to lady Musgrave in the next few days (weather permitting).
Stay safe regards,
Simon and NC.
Kangaroozes abound!
My Dad grew up in Maryborough, Victoria.
Cheers Gray
Great video . Thank you Simon.
You mentioned Nicole studying economics. What is Nicole's thoughts on the present and the future of the economy ?
I am studying economics and ecology. The current state of the economy is volatile because of the social distancing measures halting and slowing many sectors in the economy. China which implemented social distancing earlier has recorded a 6.8% contraction in GDP in the first quarter of 2020. Therefore, I believe similar contractions will be experienced Australia and elsewhere. It is unclear how long the economy will take to recover; however, the RBA and Australian Government has taken significant steps to encourage spending and stimulate the economy during these times. How effective these efforts have been will come to fruition in the coming months.
All the best,
NC
@@simoncarteroz Nicole, do you accept university course neo-classical economics belief that the level of debt in the economy does not matter, as it is the interest earning asset of others, balancing each out ?
@@simoncarteroz wow you seem really smart. American admin kinda just ignored the warnings in Feb and March and not doing so well nowadays. They affect China since US is still among the biggest customer of China but they are borrowing debt like crazy to help stimulate the economy. So who knows? However, since China was already expanding fast and they took major countermeasures relatively early, they are expected to actually grow as the rest of the world contracts. In an ironic way, we got bigger challenges than covid-19 like climate change and China seems to be going on the right track in pursuing green energy as they see huge economic opportunity in it. Maybe with your ecology degree, you can convince our stubborn politicians to capitalise on australia's green resources too. xD
PS: Maryborough isn't Central QLD.. Its way south :-) Hope your coming all the way up to FNQ! Love your video - What better way to Self-isolate, eh?
Thanks for the info! Can I call Yapoon central Queensland ?
@@simoncarteroz Ha ha... Love your vids!
I guess its a pet hate of mine! (FNQ boy born and bred)...
Distance Brisbane to Yepoon... 400Klms.
Distance Brisbane to Thursday Island... 2000klms...
Yepoon isnt quite centric :-)
Love it if you do get up to Cairns...
Keep up the great work... You make me jealous!

Hi Doug. While back i lived in hearvey bay and sometimes whent into Marybough. Someone said to me its the town the goverment would like to forget. do not know how true that statement is though.
Gerard.
Great video and thanks. I hope priority for internet usage (and time) is still with your daughter, videos can be watched later, University is more important. Travel well and stay safe.
Dad is pretty accommodating with my uni most the time I get priority over the internet (except when he is editing and I have to use the older laptop) we can always buy more data. Cheer NC.
Call this excellent video - Sailing with kangaroos. It will draw folk looking for video of kangaroos. Cheers Gray
Turn left?
Head to port!
May you and Nicole have a bonza time. Cheers Gray Logan river
Thank Graham, half way up Fraser now dads on take-two on rearing the rubber boot.
Safe Sailing Regards,
Simon and Nicole
Catherine and I have been watching these together. C is from Maryborough and enjoyed seeing the footage of queens park. What was the name of that creek? Fig Tree? Is that on Fraser? Thanks for another great video.
The creek was Yankee Jack Creek on Fraser Island. It is towards the Sandy Straits end of Fraser. There are a few bugs though so if you go swimming you need to hop in quick, once you are under the water the bugs cannot bite you.
I am doing well on the boat, I am still studying with about a year left before I graduate a BSc and BEcon. It is amazing how far 4G has made it. We are 3/4 up Fraser now and we still have enough signal to Zoom (once I have pulled dads phone up the mast and put the WiFi hot spot on).
Safe sailing regards,
NC and Simon.
