It doesn't get much better than this! Apart from the Sandflies! Commodores Contribution.

 

Heading to Deas Cove for the night.  

Happy Commodore and very happy Skipper on a picture perfect day!  Another day in paradise.

Women can do anything!  Raewyn learning how to pick up mooring lines by the best.

I know this looks like bucolic idyll, but we are being attacked by a host of sandflies.  We had to retreat into Mimu for some respite, and sustenance, and vino.

Here is our secret potion as recommended by Mana Sailing Club.  A delightful and aromatic mixture of baby oil and dettol.  Who would have thought..... when we were on board Pembroke Fishing Tours, they had almost the same.... but with an additional ingredient of citronella oil - smelt a bit posher than ours!!

Tidying up all the ropes - maintenance on a sunny afternoon!  Jean has taught the skipper a new skill - whipping!  No costume required.  Bruce and Jean are having a competition in who is the best 'whipper'.

This is whipping - in case you were thinking it was something else.

One of our few clear nights to try out our Star App.
