Another splendid cruise with "The Roger Barnes of Australia!" Quite an interesting historical bit, too. Ironic that our people are the best of friends, now... Cheers and fair winds, from Japan.
Thanks mate and I hope it warms up there soon cheers Paul
@@SailingKateLouise Me too. I'm anxious to go sailing in my folding Seahopper! Quite a nice 70th birthday gift, yet only used once before the snows came a-tumblin' down... Your videos ought to take me through to Spring, at least.
Thanks from Oregon for another great video! It is inspiring me to get out this summer (still a few months away yet here) in my Welsford Houdini. Very enjoyable watching your sails!
Make sure you share some video of your travels, Cheers Paul
Nice video, glad you mentioned the fail, its always nice to see that everyone makes mistakes and/or has bad luck sometimes!
Thanks for watching ,Cheers Paul
Another great video Paul. Love how you show off light and textures. Learning heaps by analysing your work. Thanks for the efforts you go to to produce these for us!
Don't analyse too deeply Josh.....you will get a headache😟. Going up to Myall lakes again this weekend Sat come along and then Sand Isles
Perfect viewing with my morning coffee! Thanks!
My pleasure, looking forward to the Sand Isles trip will check with Bruce to see if it's been postponed, just been up at Myall Lakes again, Cheers Paul
I'm always reminded of the Carrick Roads in Cornwall when I watch you sailing in steep sided valleys. The rain really helps with the similarities! Loving the videos :)
Thanks for your support. I've just been up to Myall lakes again and we did get a bit more rain but mainly overnight. Say hello to Cornwall for me, spent many happy times there when I lived in the U.K. pasties and ice cream, not together of course, Cheers Paul
Ah Paul you've nailed it again scenery, history and dinghy cruising in one package. Great viewing thank you. Cheers Steve
No worries, as always it's the companionship that makes a good trip, thanks for coming, cheers Paul
Interesting sail! As you described; calm to start, but then it picked up. Your camera angles were perfect. Easy to determine which tack you were on. Thanks for sharing the history of the commando camp. Really liked the lines of Steves Fulmar… another classic..
Yep Steve's Fulmar is really fast too, leaves me for dead, it took him 4 years to build and it looks perfect. Thanks for watching again,Cheers Paul
Another great video. Just the therapy I need to help me get through this long cold Winter. Blowing snow here today.
Thanks for watching.....I like snow but in small amounts, Cheers Paul
Another great video Paul and always interesting viewing. Thanks for the history lesson & trip to shore to the plaque of remembrance. I was unaware of the history of Refuge Bay & also the Z force commandos & the almighty challenges they faced. Thanks again Paul..(Your lovely wife's veggie curry looked very tasty!)
It was and she's a very understanding ' better half' or now, 'the light of my life', thanks for your support again Cheers Paul
Thanks for some great laid back videos. I’ve noticed that a lot of your fellow dinghy cruisers have various complicated ways of making coffee.
In my Enterprise cruising days I made instant coffee requiring a spoonful in a mug and boiling water, milk to taste if required. Quick and faff free. JB
Thanks John....yes it seems instant coffee is frowned upon now...but you always need coffee.
I used to sail a Graduate in the U.K. which was a bit smaller than the Enterprise and I have never seen one here. Happy sailing and thanks for watching, cheers Paul...ps if you are near Sydney come and join us.
G'day Paul. Calling in from Nz. I want one of those coffee makers. Nice and convenient. Yet another great episode mate. Thank you for sharing your experiences. Much appreciated. Kind of keeps our minds off what's happening in the world, almost.
Take care Paul. Atb from across the ditch. Cheers.
Thanks Bryan, Steve's coffee maker comes from Aldi and he reckons it's really good, so keep an eye out for those specials( we all love) Thanks for watching, Cheers Paul
Noticed the sunnies straight away. You can't beat a good coffee maker. Nice that you included the story of Z Unit and the tribute to them. And the music was great as usual ( Tales of the River Bank; takes me back, that one ).
Thanks for watching that was my brother in law who plays classical guitar and the fiddle, go Phil cheers Paul
Awesome ! I appreciate the extra bits of history n things you add Dave. Keep it up. Papa J
More to come and thanks for watching, cheers
Paul
Thanks for the post, I like your "coffeemaker", it's less complicated.
makes good coffee better than filter, cheers Paul
Thanks again for a beautiful video of one of my favourite areas.. cheers Frank.
my pleasure thanks for watching, Cheers Paul
Great videos thanks. Thant's a great watery play ground you have there. Ideal for small boat sailing. Some places really remind me of the Helford River near me (Cornwall UK). Thank heavens it's sailing season here soon.
Hi John, thanks for your comment and watching. Yes we are lucky in Sydney for many reasons but the last 4 weeks it's been more like the U.K. heavy rain everyday causing a lot of flooding right down the east coast. So I'm going a little stir crazy. Spent many happy days in Cornwall in y youth. Thanks for watching again, I hope it warms up for you soon, Cheers Paul
Great video! We still love the black flag on kate Louise in the opening scene :) from Luca and Gene
Thanks Luca and Gene, I hope the weather is good in Tassie and you are getting out on the water, I watch your videos, Cheers Paul
My favourite anchorage,Refuge Bay.
Yes it's a great spot, especially out of summer, cheers Paul
Rain or shine, I always enjoy your video's...thanks for sharing!
My pleasure, thanks for your support and kind words, cheers Paul
Nice one Paul, I liked the slo mo
Sailing action.
Thanks Bruce, I'm heading up to Myall lakes again on Saturday for a few days before the Sand Isles get together join me if you can cheers Paul
Always a bright day when you post Paul thank you
Oh! you are so kind, thank you for watching, Cheers Paul
Enjoyed your video and chucked at the mast issue. The tuning and rake of a mast seems to reflect it's owner, some severly over done. Your mast seems true to it's vertical axis and soundly anchored . Perfect
Paul in Canada
Thanks mate, cheers Paul
👍👍👍
Thanks again for watching, Cheers Paul
thank you for the wild life lables
My pleasure thanks for watching Cheers Paul
Excellent Paul. Refuge Bay is also historic for the weekend the Constitution was sketched out. The Committee did a lot of the work at the Basin but that Easter weekend came to refuge bay on a cruise and to shower etc. Sir Edmond Barton was there.
Wow I didn't know that, thanks for sharing and watching, Cheers Paul
It might be mentioning that you can see the Crate at the National Maritime Museum in Darling Harbour. I think we got one of those coffee machines from Aldi, but haven't used it yet. The animation at the beginning was a nice addition!
Yep, I remember years ago when the Krait was being restored in Pittwater you occasionally could see it motoring along. Thanks again for your support,Cheers Paul
Crikey, I’m a bit jealous of your sailing grounds there, Paul. Beautiful. Tell me, what design is Stuart sailing? Cheers!
Thanks for watching, Steve's boat is an Iain Oughtred Fulmar, cheers Paul
Great vid again, I love all the background noise. I had the chance to join the RAN many years ago, perhaps I'd be sailing on those lovely lakes now instead of the River Witham 🤔😁🇬🇧
Well I grew up sailing in Frensham Ponds in Surrey, very cold in winter and freezes over sometimes. But Lincolnshire is a nice part of the world...have a real ale for me, thanks for watching ,Cheers Paul P.S. sorry about the cricket!
@@SailingKateLouise A pint of Batman's it is then, it'll go with the several that drowned my cricket hell 😁
Thanks Paul.
Just out of curiosity, what did the bloke on the cruiser call out?
I couldn't make it out. Gary in Japan.
He said "he was jealous" and I replied "so was I" cheers Paul
Another excellent video....but you lostme on the coriander. :)
sorry, thanks for watching, cheers Paul
@@SailingKateLouise No apologies needed. I find a little bit of coriander goes a long way. Maybe we will meet one day, when my ts16 is finished.
Everytime I see you eating from the pot I wonder why you do it? I am not a gourmet, but I feel everything tastes better on a plate, so even if I am out in nature I always present my food on a plate. Guess it's none of my business.
As always, a fantastic video making you urge to go sailing yourself. Thing is - when you have summer in Australia, we have winter in Denmark. And this year it has been a cold one, so even as I have my boat in the water all year long, there has not been much sailing this winter. Hope it will be better after the upcoming easter.
Love from Denmark 🙂
Thanks Bent, yes our summer has been very wet this year, it has to be climate warming. I just find eating out if the pot means less washing up and comes from my kayaking days when space and weight was at a premium. Thanks for watching again,cheers Paul
It’s good to see sailing while waiting for the snow and ice to go away… lots to do on the boat. Also the history and stories are interesting.
BTW, when I saw the first view of boats anchored, I thought that you might be a little close… ;) … do you ever raft up when anchored? I’ve seen some keelboats sharing one anchor when wind is light - dinghies are perhaps too lively for rafting, if any motorboat makes waves boats would move a bit too much for comfort.
Hi, I hope the snow clears soon and it's not too cold to varnish.
It was very shallow there and we were keeping an eye on the depth and the tide....shifted the anchors a couple of times but didn't think about how close we were. At least it wasn't a howling gale overnight. It's all a learning curve, thanks for watching.Cheers Paul
👍✊🙏
Спасибо Владимир за просмотр и вашу поддержку, спасибо Павел
Question Dave: flask of coffee ☕️ equal/means thermos? My grandma Jane Hazlewood was from London .. sometimes I didn’t understand her do asked mom to translate. I use to teach English to Vietnamese immigrant in the Seattle area. So word differences interest me a lot. Cheers Papa J
Yes flask and Thermos are the same thing, cheers Paul
Now you're "Race car looking" :-D
Thanks for watching, Cheers Paul
Hi Paul, Another enjoyable watch. 👍🏻 What type of cam cleat do you run your jib lines through?
Cheers,
Paul.
Hi,They are either Harken or Ronstan 2-8mm cam cleats with a bridge, not sure if they still make them with the bridge, they are about $20 from Boat warehouse, Cheers Paul
@@SailingKateLouise Thanks Paul👍🏻
What material is your tent? And how do you treat it for water repellant?
Hi Chris it's Ripstock Nylon and I coat it with a mixture of cheap silicone dissolved in turps. It works well, makes the tarp it bit heavier but keeps the water out and cheaper than off the shelf waterproofing agents. Thanks for watching, cheers Paul
Okay, the question that is never mentioned. You are out sailing in a dinghy having enjoyed a good brekky, then suddenly you realise you need a crap. Open dinghy, how is this managed? In public 😳? When underway??? Needs a vid!
Well Jeff that's a very delicate question and I think it comes down to timing and forward thinking.....because it would be impossible otherwise. Thanks for watching, cheers Paul
