Party Hard at Pittwater!!!




Well whats happened since our last update? We sailed from Cronulla to Pittwater on Sunday in company with Chilli Heat with Bruce and Sue at the helm, well in company for awhile that is until we lost sight of their stern. We elected to sail with just our head sail and were achieving 7 knots in the early blustery conditions, when arriving at Sydney heads,and as conditions eased, Chilli Heats crew decision to sail with double reefed main and head sail proved to be a winning combination. But hell I'm the lazy sailor and was happy to coast to Pittwater with our original sail configuration. Winni the windvane steered Crazy all the way with a minor adjustment here and there. We are now experiencing nice weather, after days of rain, rain and more rain. The weather has certainly been a challenging introduction to our new way of life, but we are still not deterred. We are finding the challenges and relaxation to be quite envigorating. We have met up with some old sailing friends and Bruce and Sue held great party last night on board CH for 10 people(well done again B&S), with delicious Chilli Beef, which proved to be a all round favourite(especially the next morning with Bruce's toilet) It was great to once again play guitar with Rob until the early hours of the morning and the enthusiastic go go girls and back up singers kept all others in the anchorage awake! Another big night is planned for New Years Eve. Right now we are anchored in the shadow of Barrenjoey Lighthouse and a whisper away for a glassout and a surf in the morning. We hope to be heading south on New Years Day!
