We very much enjoyed this video. It is a bit further away but have you been to Mallacotta. We have cruised this lake system in an 18' -trailer sailer. It would suit your boats also. You can camp at the foreshore caravqn park and day sail, or overnight in plenty of small coves. Enjoy your sailing.

Hi Linda, I went to Mallacoota many years ago when I first arrived in Australia and fell in love with mud brick houses and the area. I would love to come down and sail there for a few days, maybe when things get back to normal. I hope the bushfires didn't impact on you too much. Thanks for watching, Cheers Paul

Our sailing trip... Begins your day with flaky, golden croissants or warm baguettes, Spread on creamy butter and luxurious jams, A steaming cup of rich coffee completes this delightful tableau, Delicate appetizers like a frisée salad with walnuts and goat cheese awaken your taste buds. The main course, a symphony of flavor, might showcase succulent roasted duckling in a cherry sauce, accompanied by perfectly roasted seasonal vegetables. And for the grand finale? Perhaps a decadent chocolate mousse, its richness a perfect counterpoint to the meal's savory notes. As evening descends, imagine a lighter, yet flavorful feast. Seared scallops with a touch of lemon butter might be followed by an herb-roasted chicken with ratatouille, a vibrant medley of summer vegetables, savor a selection of artisanal cheeses, their unique flavors a delightful discovery. And no meal is complete without a perfect dessert - a delicate fruit tart or a decadent pot de crème might be the perfect ending to your culinary journey. Behind every man(meal) there is a Dinghy somewhere... Well, let us know when you want to join up for a great cruise!
