The kids have fun running around, chasing birds and shrieking at passing boats...
...and hanging in trees (as you do!).
One weekend we motored down to Blackwattle Bay and checked out the ANZAC Bridge...
We then motored back up the harbour...
...and that's when we encountered a PIRATE SHIP!
We also stumbled across another lovely cat...Orient Express, a Catana 582...
Speaking of other cats...we liked the name of one Seawind a lot...
That afternoon, with almost 2 hours until the Spit Bridge next opened, we headed out the heads for a little tour. I really wanted to catch another Bonito (it wasn't to be), but we had fun looking over the trampolines and admiring the coast...
Nick also had to go aloft at one point to try and determine why our wind instrument was no longer working. Turned out some seagull or other monster bird had sat on it and bent it out of shape :-(.
(a composite pic of the mast...the rigging isn't really broken...I just couldn't merge the two pics very well in Photoshop)
Nick made the most of the climb though, and took some great shots of Lucey Blue from the air...
Last but not least, a few snaps from the last trip home...
(note to self - investigate effects of blue food dye on digestive tract [from a blue Slurpee...he hadn't been licking the boat clean])
...Too cool for school (yet ;-)
...except when it means you can't see the pictures ;-)
Thanks for dropping by!
Sam.

HI Guys,
nice to see what you're getting up to :) More fun from the looks of it. The photo Nick took from the top of the mast is amazing and scary!! Mind you so was the blue tongue ;)
We went through the Spit Bridge together on Monday 26th, after the Anzac long weekend . . . all the way to Long Bay where Wayward Wind, a 36ft Fountaine Pajot cat is moored. We had just returned from Pittwater.
Nice boat! I was planning to mount folding steps all the way up the mast, so seeing how you have done yours is mighty helpful!
Cheers!

Hi John,
Thanks for your comment. I remember your cat...I always have to ask Nick what make everything is and he pointed out your FP. We looked at some Fountaine Pajots at the Sydney boat show last year. They are very nice.
If you want to come take a closer look at the mast steps one weekend, you'd be very welcome. Just send me an email at: navarino@yahoo.com and I can reply and let you know when we'll next be there.
Cheers,
Sam.
