Megwyn 2 Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 I feel cold just looking at that. I'm Not excited about Winter coming. Summer feels so short. Me neither - the boat has to come home for some serious maintenance work this winter. Not looking forward to no sailing at all. We used to go at least once a month in our tri in the winter. I get seriously grumpy if I don't get out for a sail, and the time it takes for me to go into withdrawal is getting shorter and shorter. Probably be on the beg for a ride in the winter . . .

Fogg 427 Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 A terrible thing to say to someone who has just made it clear he is proud of his new sails but...ahhh...the leech of that headsail seems to be doing something a bit less than flash in that shot AC. Yeah, fair call, I"m still experimenting with that. ltho I was reaching and didn't want the leach to be to tight and 'hooked' in if you know what I mean? You're welcome aboard to help me trim them someday if you like! Link to post Share on other sites

B00B00 310 Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 What about this one, Nathans first fish and he waqs absolutley petrified of it! he did wind it in all by himself thou. good effort for a 14 month old. Then there was the other one, where he found my paint brush and thought it was an ice cream. not such a good look but very funny. Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 It's sailing Jim, but not as we know it. Did get out on the water as well but this was definitely the highlight. Link to post Share on other sites
Megwyn 2 Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 What the young fella got up to this summer . . . Yes - he learnt to row - the first pic is him and Dad together on his first lesson. The second pic is him with his first 'on his own' lesson in Smokehouse Bay. The third pic is the young fella with his new dingy Link to post Share on other sites

John B 106 Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 I'm amazed at the light you've got in the Rikoriko cave CG. When we were there it was quite dark and pics I took were hopeless even though it was bright outside( its so big in there eh!). Is that a particular time of day when more light is in there or the photo lightened or ? Link to post Share on other sites
Chewing Gum 17 Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 I was amazed as well - I don't think we used flash and anyway the flash on my camera is prettty weak. Photos all taken with an older 3.2Mp Pentax Waterproof camera - but it does seem to take quite good pics. It is a huge cave - that boat is about 40ft I think and has high tuna tower Here are a couple more taken at the same time: Link to post Share on other sites
John B 106 Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 maybe we had a higher tide Its been a few years... 06 maybe. Link to post Share on other sites
Chewing Gum 17 Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 Shots were taken on a nice day about midday - If that sheds any light on the subject Looks like an image in your post but I can't see it - not sure what the issue is but I have often struck the problem before Link to post Share on other sites
