Thanks for taking us along again Bruce. You have one of the most anticipated channels on RUclips. Great adventures that you share with us that are a bit less courageous than yourself. Much appreciated. ⛵👍
Hey, Bruce, thanks for the latest video. Nice job with the shooting and editing and great job sailing the DS - especially single handing with the spinnaker. I always look forward to seeing your next adventure. I'll be sharing this on a couple sites where other Day Sailers lurk. Thanks and keep on sailing. Lee
Thanks Lee, I appreciate hearing from you, it’s always good to hear people are enjoying my work.Thank you also for sharing onto other sites.Cheers Bruce
Bruce, great video once again and show-casing a high degree of competence as usual. The weather sure sent you a mix of conditions but handled by you so well. Catch you soon Bruce.
Love your work mate. You guys certainly take on some epic trips for small boat sailors. I'm slowly getting my confidence up with Luna Blu and in time I hope to do more adventurous things, but Moreton Bay can be rough so I have to learn the ropes first.
Thanks Jason,good to hear from you.You have a good boat under your feet so with a bit more time you will be right. Shame I can’t get up to see you guys next week but will have to work something in sometime.
Nice job gents! I was thinking of you on the return leg, the sea state was just about ideal looking out from Curl Curl. You know how to pick the conditions!
Great video of your trip, thanks for taking the effort to record and edit it all ... I know how difficult it is to press record when the moment is "interesting" and the time needed to edit all the raw footage
@@brucedyson-smith459 Yes Bruce we were quite active with our channel for a while, but I got a bit jaded with RUclips and certain aspects of their rules and censorship so I stopped putting an ongoing effort into it for RUclips content.
Great Sail!! I am working up a 12 ft Jon Boat for a Sailer here in the States. Gonna have a Mudskipper outboard, oars, sails and wee trolling motor for options to get about!! Should be all a bloke shall need here!!
Really enjoy your videos, what model dinghy is this and what size pls? I’m keen to get into one and was hoping it could take 3-4 adults comfortably? Where are you based. Thanks mate
Thanks and good to hear you’re enjoying the channel. My boat is a 1975 Oday Daysailer and I am based at Lake Macquarie NSW Australia.The Daysailer was designed to fit at least 4 people cruising or 2 for racing. It is 16 ft 9” long and 6ft3” wide.Where are you located?
@@brucedyson-smith459 thanks for the info. I'm in Sydney, inner west. Haven't sailed anything bigger than a kayak or sailboard in 30 years so a sailing dinghy would awesome. ✌️
Such a contrast. You are doing 70nm open water journeys, ripping out through heads in 20kts whilst casually fishing and dodging whales and dolphins, and I cant even manage to get my boat wet. At least someone is getting it done!
You will get there Rob,it’s all a matter of time and practice.And even if you don’t you can always watch and experience it from some silly bugger like me from the comfort of an armchair .

Thank you for the kind words. I’m not sure about being one of the most anticipated channels but I am happy you think so and enjoy it.🙏
Nice to see you've "dampened the hull" once again, Bruce. Also enjoyed the historical anecdotes along the way. Thank you.
Thanks Mike,nice to hear from you.
Another beautiful video. Always a great adventure. Thanks Bruce.
Thank you Rob, I appreciate you saying so.
Cheers Bruce
What a great trip Bruce, really enjoyed this. Great to see the wildlife down the coast. Makes me keen to get out there again.
@@DavideoSolar thanks Dave,yes it is a good time of year to be out there.

Great little trip on all points of sail. Enjoyed immensely. Thanks for taking us along.
Thanks Eric, I look forward to seeing your boat on the water soon too.
@@brucedyson-smith459 Bruce, what is the flag you fly?
@@ericdahlkamp6781 It’s the marine letter R flag which we use for our Raid Facebook group.
Really enjoyed that thanks for posting. I have the same RC hat as you they are great!
It sure keeps my neck from burning.

Good to see you down my neck of the woods
A nice neck of the woods too.
Great sail Bruce, you've got to love the wildlife off the NSW coast (I'm counting you and John in that category as well!)
Thanks Ric there was plenty of it.
Great viewing Bruce especially flying that kite chasing John.. thanks
Thanks Mitch,good to hear from you 👍
Great couple of days on the water with kind winds.
Yes it was thanks.
Great video and a epic voyage!
Thanks Khiem
Nice job gents! I was thinking of you on the return leg, the sea state was just about ideal looking out from Curl Curl. You know how to pick the conditions!
Thanks Josh,yes you have to go with the conditions in our little boats.
Great video of your trip, thanks for taking the effort to record and edit it all ... I know how difficult it is to press record when the moment is "interesting" and the time needed to edit all the raw footage
Thank you, for your appreciation of what’s involved. It sounds like you make videos also?

@@FreeRadicalslifestyle Right I haven’t run into that problem yet but I am not partnered with them as I am only small fry at this stage.

Great stuff, I hope it all works out well for you. I am always doing something on my boat it never seems to end.
Thanks for a nice trip.
No problem 🙏
One perfect day.....
Thanks Kevin 👍
Always wondered about portaging the boat up the beach into the lagoon at Wattamulla for a less rocky night :).
Yes John and I were talking about that using big fenders a tackle and burying the anchor in the sand as a means for moving the boat.
Really enjoy your videos, what model dinghy is this and what size pls? I’m keen to get into one and was hoping it could take 3-4 adults comfortably? Where are you based. Thanks mate

How do you go ashore?
We anchored in knee deep water at Shell Harbour and we swam ashore at Watamolla
