Gday,

This is a fantastic website of a fella solo circumnavigating Oz in a trailer sailer, he's only just started 2 weeks ago ....out of PPB now.

Hundreds of excellent ideas on boat improvements in the planning part of the website.

cheers

Is that the Halcyon that has been moored in Parsley Bay for years?

Ballsy effort, thanks for the link I will be following him for sure. Home made bits and pieces all over his boat, it will be interesting to see if it holds up.

In my opinion he's already done the hard part & that is getting to the start line & leaving! :D

Hopefully he'll stop in to the Camden Haven.

cheers

Rob, He has updated it now, still at Refuge Cove,

I think the next leg is over 200nm, that is a big, big leg particuarly in that part of the world....let alone in a TS.

Maybe tuesday he could push on, big seas & swell tho', what do you reckon?

cheers

So true, getting to the starting line is what it is all about. That is one well equipped TS. Do agree, would rather do the trip in a TH, but then I am biased.

P.S. in a mark III
