hi boys & girls

just back in Oz after 5 years living aboard in the pacific (is it always so @#$% cold here ???) and temporarily boatless

however there is one i'm interested in near brisbane and so wondering if anybody has a surveyor they can recommend please ? ideally northside, in / near Newport.

thanks !

(and yes, i know i can google but hoping for some personal recomendations !)

there is nowhere there to anchor. its either moorings or channel

nearest anchoring space would be morning bay

cheers,

we we live (french polynesia) rising sea levels are NOT a joke

try living on an atoll that is only a couple of meters above sea level. you will soon change the record

cheers,

the expression has been around for a long time

if you are going downhill and need to gybe, but for whatever reason (usually safety) elect to come up on to the wind, tack, and then bear away on the other gybe, this is a 'granny' as in what your granny might do (instead of a 'real sailor'

cheers,
