Hi to all members
To all who remembered, a couple of years age I purchased a 36 S&S Starlight Express and sailed Solo from Vic to Airlie Beach Qld, with much assistance from members from time to time, both on line and practical assistance on my way north. A big thanks Also I have now so;l Starlight Express, with much help from Cisco, Thanks mate.
The end result of my visit to Airlie Beach, I have now purchased Waltzing Matilda, a tourist boat doing 3 overnights per week, and so far all ios working out well, a big move from Vic.
So i short if your up this way drop in and say "Hi" If you are further interested look up on Face Book Waltzing Matilda Charters and leave a "LIKE"
Again, Thanks to all

Thanks Stephen. We met down at Middle Harbour Yacht Club on your way north.
How did you go about getting a commercial ticket to do charters?

Lexmark, I never did purchase that boat that we discussed but I thank you for your thoughts. I did purchase a Benny on the Sunshine Coast and will be up your way around June.. I will drop you a line.

No. He is not doing that. Waltzing Matilda is a money machine that came with everything including qualified crew and management. I wish I could have found similar at the time instead of the stinking residential rental real estate I have with it's stinking tenants that are ripping me off.

She is sold Lexmark but you didn't make any money out of it. The way the world works is if you don't make money out of something, you should at least have learned something. I will leave you to figure out what that is.

We showed her to some doozeys but console yourself with the fact that the local mate I showed her to went to Sydney and bought a near identical boat for about $3,000 less.

A bit ironic really with two S&S 36s sold, one heading from Bundaberg to Sydney and the other heading from Sydney to Bundaberg.

True CISCO, but I still pay the wages, and ALL the government, which are many, charges and numerous piles of paper work...............makes me wonder where we are heading in the small business department, keeping in mind that small business are the greatest employers in this country

The up side is that I now live in Qld and meet many happy and interesting holiday people from all over the world and still have my toe in the sailing water as it were

Again, yes, you are correct CISCO, didnt make money, as you know lost money, but the experience was WELL worth it. The feeling of sailing solo, most times, is just some thing that one never forgets

Cisco would say B.O.A.T. when you own one he never said much about when you sell one?

You have done well mate. Memories are worth more than material things. Hopefully see you at Airlie in the not too distant.
