Went out on Botany Bay on Sunday . Took my son for his first sailing lessons on a mates boat , the same boat I learnt to sail on 32 years ago ( my boat is still at port stephens till February ) He learnt a tiny bit about sailing being on the helm for about 3 hrs , but more important he enjoyed himself. Maybe another sailor in the making , not looking forward to. " dad can I have the keys to the car and the boat " in a few years , both the car and boat empty when I want to use them lol
Does any one else get the pleasure of going back to sail the boat they learnt on ? She is 50 this year I get told pics or it didn't happen so here they are

Is that the boat you were painting and anti fouling at Botany Bay Yacht Club. looks Good. I got my mooring on the border of Dolans bay and Burraneer bay.
