Just occured to me that we in the northern hemisphere are counting on those in the southern.... to get us through our winter months with their sailing videos - Paul thanks so much! Delightful!!
We feel the same way about you guys when it’s our turn for cold and dark!
Well our summer is looking to be wet this year due to La Nina affect in the pacific. But at least no bushfires, I will try and keep the supply of sailing videos coming stay warm cheers Paul
Paul we wish you all the very best with the weather - sometimes we get what we don't want but DO need... I am hoping to recipricate what you and Holly (Kids Afloat) do since my boys are gifting me their old gopros this Christmas so maybe I'll have something for you both to watch in 6 to 8 months. Hoping to find a grove with sailing action, scenery and music that entertains. I'm a new subscriber to Holly's channel - got some catching up to do. Stay well all - Rob
@@robmarykunzig5533 Great the more sailing videos the better, can I suggest Da Vinci Resolve for editing it's really good
and free, just make sure you have 16gb ram for Hd and maybe a bit more if you are going to shoot 4K, cheers Paul
Thank you for this post. It is truly a beautiful country.
Thanks Dai, check out my other videos on the playlist...there's 89, cheers Paul
so jealous at the mo. recently sold my 26 ft. trailer sailer, it was getting too big for me to handle on my own and now I have got a 17 ft 50 y.o. plywood boat that I swapped for an old fridge It needs a bit of work but has good bones so you have given me the urge to get into it and get it in the water Thanks mate keep up the good videos Im 6 hours south of Sydney so I may catch up with you one day I did a trip down the Hawkesbury from Windsor ,spent a few day around pittwater and then sailed around to sydney harbour for a few days What a great trip cheers phil
Let me know when your planning to come up this way again, have you sailed Jervis Bay? Thanks for watching cheers Paul
i sailed out of huskisson many years ago nice place I will be in touch and would love to catch up cheers
As always, I thoroughly enjoyed your trip which is enriched by your high standard of content and editing. Many thanks.
Thank you so much for your kind words and your support cheers Paul
Watching that made me smile. Not for any reason, just because it looked so relaxing. I hope to get up there for a sail one day myself.
It's really nice you'd enjoy it, thanks for watching Cheers Paul

As good as it gets. Great job on the video.
Thanks again cheers Paul
Always so nice to sail with Kate Louise, especially on a cold winter's day here in northern Japan. (Willing the season to pass quickly so I can get my wee folding Seahopper back onto the water... : (
Well in Sydney it's going to be a wet summer thanks to La Nina, so I'm keen to sail whenever I can. Thanks again for your continued support, Cheers Paul
Paul, your use of Mike Vass's beautiful music is fabulous. I am hoping there might be more of Mike's music in the next video. Congratulations and best wishes from England, Phil
Yes everyone loves Mike's music....many comments
thanks for watching cheers Paul
A Derwent Raider, now THAT'S a proper boat.
yep it was beautiful and took Robert 2 years to build, thanks again cheers Paul
excellent
Thank you cheers Paul
Hi Paul, Looks like a great trip. We were down there a few weeks ago ( Parks not long ago re-opened the campgrounds and boat ramps after the floods back in March) Road to Violet Hill was re -graded as it was badly washed out before. You had a better run of winds than we did, had to leave Freshwater late one afternoon when a strong Westerly came in, and anchor near Cuttlers cottage. Then had to run from Shelley back to Violet hill at 9.30 pm after a strong Northerly made things a bit uncomfortable. Still a great trip, and like you, hardly saw another boat, very peaceful !
Yep I've been going up there for years ,it really is a beautiful place and we had a great time.Planning on going up there again between Jan 3-5, see you there cheers Paul
Hi Paul Very Nice video again. Love the way of cruising and the beautyful environment. A "bit" out of my range unfortunately.
Thanks for watching cheers Paul
Wonderful video, and absolutely a special thanks to Mike Vass. The music was very nice.
It is rumored that, to this day, Robert is still on Shelly Beach waiting for enough wind to return.
Ha Ha, he doesn't need much wind his Derwent Raider absolutely flies, in fact he struggles to keep it under control a bit like someone riding a wild horse. Thanks for watching cheers Paul
Lovely vid Paul
Thanks for watching and your continued support cheers Paul
that thieving bird must have been the rare `idontneedtocook-aburra`
Very good Steve, he must be a fat Kookaburra because he stole another snag off a BBQ when I was there a couple of weeks ago, cheers Paul
Love your work Paul once again…We follow Sydney Raid on fb and really enjoy the posts. As Melbournians, we are rarely jealous of Sydney
Watching this stuff though we get close 😉
Curious to know what Raid stands for ?
Regards
Ian and Milly
Hi thanks for watching, I think but I'm not 100% sure that 'Raid' means a group of small boats travelling somewhere as in Vikings.It originated in Europe and is very popular in Scandanavia. Cheers Paul
Regattas are for posh people, races for those determined to show off. Raids are for those who actually enjoy sailing and refuse to go home when the sun sets.
See Roger Barnes on his You Tube channel for further details.
Myall Lakes looks absolutely beautiful, another great video Paul. I always look forward to your next instalment. I have an Iain Oughtred Shearwater that I hope to sail up there soon, so thanks for the tip about Violet Hill boat ramp.
Are there toilet facilities at the camp grounds you stayed at?
Hi, yes there are very clean pit toilets at Violet Hill, Shelley's and Johnson's beach. We are planning another trip to Violet Hill and probably staying at Shelley's beach Jan 3- 6 I would love you to join us, think about it and go to Sydney Raid on Facebook for more info next week.PS very popular over the holidays so you might need to book campsite if you don't sleep aboard., cheers Paul
I love the Myall Lakes. So Jealous.
Yep we managed to get a sail in and avoid the weathe,r thanks for watching cheers Paul
Nice video. 11:11 I've never seen anyone stand on a trailer front to back to launch a boat before lol usually a bow line longer than the trailer and a good push is enough lol
yep well at least Steve has planks to stand on....I often get wet. Thanks for watching cheers Paul
‘Tammie Norrie’ is North Atlantic puffin in Shetland dialect.
Interesting and thanks for watching, cheers Paul
I grew up racing a Heron with my Dad on Lake Burley Griffin with the Canberra YMSC. Great memories. Is the club still there?
Hi I'm not sure, but Dave's Cherry 16 th-cam.com/video/NAcOs_E2hU8/w-d-xo.html
was from Canberra, thanks for watching, cheers Paul
Is it possible to find more information on Roberts rigg ? Great videos.All the best from Sveden,Marcus
Hi Marcus, Robert is in NZ at the moment, I have contacted him on facebook to get an email address for you....might take a few days, thanks for watching, cheers Paul
Hi Marcus Robert's email is robert.keesen@yahoo.com cheers Paul
@@SailingKateLouise thanx a lot,in winter i plan to build an skin on frame boat from gboats ,and i like Roberts rigg very much,as i like all your boats.
Heu Paul,
Roberts email is not working it comes back to me saying it could not be found.
H’lsningar
Marcus
Beautiful ! Could you please tell me what outboard motor you have for your boat and roughly what it weighs ?
Don Hunter
Hi Don it's a Torqueedo 801 which is about 10 years old and weighs about 2kgs but here are the newer models thanks for watching cheers Paul

Thank you for posting, this sailing was really enjoyable. Perhaps it was due to your fantastic editing? The cuts of the scenes to the music was a masterpiece and an inspiration. The photo material was also top class, could you please hint us to what kind of camera gear you were using?
Hi thank you, mainly a Panasonic wa x 30 which is about 10 years old(not sure they make them anymore), waterproof,HD, flip out screen which makes it much easier to see when in full sun.The other camera is an Osmo Action. That model is about 3 years old and 4k, though I haven't shot any 4K yet, it's also waterproof. Editing is on Da Vinci Resolve 17 free version.Cheers Paul
@@SailingKateLouise I think this underlines that it is not only about the gear, it takes skill to use it as you do. Also, the Osmo is still a very good camera and Camcorders too. Thanks again.
Great videos Paul, I am just getting the hang of video editing with Da Vinci, may I ask what music site you use for background music.
Thank you
@@johnhaughey5347 I use the youtube audio studio as it's free.
I'm surprised that no one fishes for dinner.
Not many fish in Myall lakes, it was commercially fished for years before becoming a park. Now there only seem to be mullet left and occasional brim, cheers Paul
Brilliant - how can I join the Sydney Raid?
Hi BB sorry I have only just back from another 3 day adventure and just found your comment. Just go to Raid Sydney on facebook or Sydneyraid.com facebook is used to post events but anyone can post an event and there is also lots of useful boaty info. Thanks for watching, Cheers Paul
If I’m not mistaken, Blue Bottle is a well known racing yacht not that that should stop you from using the name.
And Spike Milligan's alter ego, the Woy Woy madman, God bless him.
ahhh blue bottle!!!
Wonderful video and nice boats!
What’s the red/white flag you’re flying?
They are marine code flags and the Letter 'R' stands for raid (a group of small boats sail or row to a destination and camp) big in Europe and the States. Thanks for watching Cheers Paul
@@SailingKateLouise Aha! Thanks!
A Gaff-Wishbone?
Hi yes Robert's boat Derwent Raider has a few rig options,
his is an adapted Lateen rig with wishbone quite a complicated setup but it powers along, thanks for watching Cheers Paul
I really enjoyed the music in this vid Paul, as well as the extra company, although I didn't quite catch the Kookaburra's name.... I see you were using an orange camera, was the one you dropped a write off?
Yep my Osmo pocket went for a swim and it was not waterproof. So I replaced it with an Osmo action( cheaper than Go pros) and normally mount that on the Mizzen mast. The orange camera which I use most of the time is a Panasonic wa X 30 which is waterproof but only 1080HD not 4K......and I'm not sure that make them anymore. Thanks for watching cheers Paul
Really great video! Do you think you need an inflatable tender to avoid the wading? Maybe a SUP?
It was suggested I get a little inflatable. I can normally get a bit closer to the shore. Thanks for watching cheers Paul
In his book Roger Barnes describes how to use two anchors to moor off shore but at the same time retrieve your boat from the shore when you want to.
Probably more suited to tidal waters, but if you were worried about running aground the offshore anchor would allow you to pull yourself out of trouble.
@@andyjarman4958 Yep I had 2 anchors out the front and a stern line to a tree to pull myself back in but the wind direction didn't help. Luckily the predicted change never happened. But I was a little nervous having dragged anchor in a storm before and the boat got washed ashore...slightly terrifying.
Let the evidence speak…must be bloody good sausage…
Yes Marshal's sons sausages were apparently great. The Kookaburra lives there and has often tried to steal food from the picnic table. Local knowledge always important. Thanks again for watching, cheers Paul
any idea where someone in NY state USA can find boats like this to buy?
Hi James not sure which boat you mean? give me a time in the video and I can help you out. My boat the blue Stornaway 18 comes as a kit and will soon be made by No Coast Boats in Kansas and shipped from there. Thanks for watching, cheers Paul
Thanks for sharing ;-) I'm interested in the Derwent Rider design, by Allan Witt. But his page for plans (sailandrow) is over. Can I write Robert (rudder)? Are you in touch? THANKS
Sure send your contact email to me sailingkatelouise@gmail.com and I will pass it onto Robert he is currently in NZ, cheers Paul
@@SailingKateLouise ;-) Oh, that's great. Yhanks so much
What is the significance of the flag you fly. Red with yellow Cross.
Hi it's the marine code letter "R" and as we are Sydney Raid we have adopted the R flag, thanks for watching, cheers Paul
