Through this forum a common interest has been seen and communicated between a couple of contributors, ie Marutji and Cisco, ie owning yachts of the same design being Van De Stadt 34s.

Via the forum and subjects raised, some PMing and mobile texting, Marutji and Cisco met up today on the Burnett River (best river on the east coast of Queensland) and spent a very pleasant afternoon aboard Marutji with a bickie, cuppa tea and a glass of wine.

Friends that had not met before.

Seabreeze is an interesting place.... In fact my wife and I have traveled more than 1/2 way across Australia to have a beer and meal/s with people we had never met except from messages on seabreeze, overall we would have met a half a dozen of people from the forum that would have NEVER normally crossed our path in life.
We often think our lives are better for it....

Cisco, I think we need to get through to Hangtime that just because he can cruise comfortably at 12 knots, he doesn't have to all the time LOL!! Maybe he needs to stop and smell the roses just occasionally

We've been trying to connect as well, but he's like some crazy Road Runner that just darts north south north again. Oh well, maybe one day!!

Anyhoo, agree with you about the fraternity of the forum. Have met another lady as passionate as I am about her boat and sailing............strange but true

Now, would love to meet some other families out there with similar aged kids who would be interested in cruising in company............kids are 2 x girls aged 10 and 7.

Hooroo for now

He does get around doesn't he? If I had a Farrier Tri I can see myself getting a bit that way though.

Ive got 8 of the Yamaha 24 litre outboard tanks rather than one big fixed tank. They can be placed in any locker (i have several outside vented hatches) on the boat to account for trim and they can be carried to the petrol station instead of the overpriced marina bowser.
New main and jib? .....Definately Xmas
