Great video Bruce. These mini cruises on a small boat like yours have as much adventure as a few months on a larger yacht. No margin for error at all which increases the satisfaction level I'm sure. I'm impressed with how organised you are in all aspects including your cooking and the recipes you cook. Impressive all round!
I always set out a "man overboard" line anytime I'm single handing. I got a lot of crap from folks telling me that I'll never be able to pull myself back to the boat or grab the line quickly enough. I'm really glad I see that you have a line same as I do! haha 🤙⛵ Fair winds
I reckon your body weight in the water would make the boat round up with the line tied to the side of the transom.That’s assuming you grab it,then you can swim to the boat. It’s gotta be better than no second chance. Cheers mate
Sure nice to see you sailing a DS ; it inspires me to get this 77 DS2 customized to be able to do the same here in Texas. Heres to distant horizon s over the blue.
You made it look easy again. Great close whale encounters. I would love to say’s something insightful about your sailing but I am too inept at it to know what to say. I really just comment for the TH-cam algorithm and so you know your efforts are appreciated. Keep it up!
Thanks Rob.It really is great to hear from people such as yourself who appreciate the video and it does give me the drive to keep making more. Cheers Bruce
Great video! Really appreciate the footage explaining technical aspects. Good entertainment and educational value. I will rig a gybe preventer before attempting to sail my oday from Brisbane to camp at Moreton Island. Looking forward to the next video!
Fantastic video and adventure. It would be great to learn a little about how you setup anchor to stabilise your position overnight on beaches like that. Do you have a video?
Thanks Lee, I don’t have a video on it but I use a sand anchor as that’s usually the bottom I am encountering for the areas I sail. Usually I would set a stern anchor to hold me into the waves but when there is a lot of swell as there was in this case , the boat gets jerked back and forth making it to uncomfortable.
Bruce, I've never seen that griddle for that stove, looks nice can you show a link to it somewhere? Thanks for the lovely view of your part of the world! - R, Lewes Delaware USA

Hi Bruce I to have a O’Day daysailer I’m 81 and have men working on her for 7 yrs. After watching you and your adventures I will be going in the water next spring even though is is not quite done. 😎

Thanks Mike for the insightful comment as always. It is great to hear from people who appreciate my efforts.🙏
What a great trip Bruce. The video is great and I liked how you explain different aspects of sailing your boat. Well done. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Steve.Am trying to keep it interesting,can be a bit boring otherwise.

Perseverance does pay off ! Well done Bruce.
Thanks Phil, I hope to catch you up on the water sometime.
Great video Bruce. The symbol on the sail looks spectacular.
Thank you and glad you enjoyed it.
Very interesting. I like how you explain the techniques you use to sail on your own.
Thankyou for the feedback.

Great to watch and executed in brilliant style and seamanship.
Thank you Don, I appreciate your words and glad you enjoyed it.
Nicely done Bruce..
Thanks Mitch
Great adventure!! Loved the whales in the bay, amazing.
Thank you 🙏
These multi day long distance voyages are top shelf stuff.
Thank you again, I am glad you appreciate them.
Nice sail. Thanks for walking through the spinnaker set.
No problem 😉
Great video! Really appreciate the footage explaining technical aspects. Good entertainment and educational value. I will rig a gybe preventer before attempting to sail my oday from Brisbane to camp at Moreton Island. Looking forward to the next video!
Thanks I am glad to see you getting something out of it. I mainly use the preventer offshore when waves tend to bounce the boom around a lot.
Great video! Thanks for taking us along!
Thanks Khiem!
Very relaxing watching you confidently sail in the ocean. Yet to ever sail in the ocean. Rivers and inland lakes are my options.
Thank you glad you enjoyed it. It is a lot more comfortable sailing still water. You sleep much better too.
Well done Bruce. Very enjoyable video. The weather was kinder to you than your first two attempts. Hopefully see you on the water soon.
Thanks Len,yes look forward to catching you soon.
Awesome trip mate. Bold. Coastal yes, but you known this is really ocean. And to produce such great footage as well… Respect +++
Thanks Robin,It sure does knock me around physically than an inland water cruise.
Cheers 🍻
Nice sailing. Well done.
Cheers mate 👍

Great Vid. Congrats on making it. I have just started to notice those birds with the red beaks and legs around the lake. I've neve seen them before.
Thanks Bernard,yes they are very striking looking birds. I haven’t seen any down this end of the lake yet.
nice vid, thanks for sharing...
Thank you 🙏
Whales, nice sail indeed!
Yes and a bit scary
What a nice sailing area!
It sure is as long as you pick the right weather window.
You awesome 👏

Thanks Roger, I hope you have some great adventures in your boat.Send me a picture of your boat I would love to see it.

Why do you fly the smal red flag with the yellow cross? Like your videos.
Thanks,the flag is the letter R signal which we use to represent our sailing group “Raid”
