What drugs was I on when I thought of returning to Bowen? Anyone who reads my ramblings will be able to answer that question, but they won't win anything for their trouble. I drive around amazed that the fond memories I have of the place seem so far ... Read more >

Experiencing the warmth and close vicinity to dramatic coast lines is the reason we put up with all the trials of crossing Bass Straight. Awoke after a great nights sleep and away by 6.30 am. Blue skies and light breezes for our 42 mile run to ... Read more >

You may or may not be aware that Daire has been growing himself a little chin warmer!!! Yep, technically it's a beard but there are no sides (there don't seem to be any hair folicles there) so it could be called a goaté. :) After much persuasion from ... Read more >
