Deliveries – Powered Vessels

November 2020… Nora very kindly drove myself, husband Anthony and brother in law David to Batemans Bay where we climbed on board and after checking the boat had a lovely dinner at the marina restaurant. Early the next day after fuelling up we set off with a reasonable forecast of up to 20 kts...

October 2020... It's been over a year since last in WA thanks to Covid, but after much paperwork, discussions with WA police and marina officials, eventually we got the required clearance to get our 'G2G border passes' and entry into WA.

March 2020... New owner Jim joined me initially for the trip north. First fuel stop at Triabunna and fortunately still tied up when Jim received a call about a family emergency which saw him on the next plane out. Always ready and reliable crewman Ray to the rescue and after an 0800 phone call,...

June 2018... Difficult to get ideal weather windows, we left Freo hoping to get to Esperence as first stop but approaching Albany it started to get uncomfortable so four days in Albany, we caught up with friends, visited the entertainment centre and obtained the last tickets to the final performance of Little Shop of...

Gold Coast to Hillary's WA April 2018 Sold to Steve in WA, Murray and I set sail for the Gold Coast for the long trip. Great weather virtually the whole way made it a very pleasurable trip. Unfortunately the port stabiliser ram broke east of Esperance so a little less stable for the final...

November 2017... My longest delivery to date at 2850 nm. And welcome aboard new crew member Ben who was a great asset with his vast knowledge of boats, the sea and all things mechanical! Great company and not a bad cook either.         We stopped in Albany for a day to...
