Two fifteen foot long double enders, an Ian Oughtred designed "Little Tern" and a John Harris CLC "Skerry" met up for their first sail together on Port Philliip Bay. Mighty "Mars" the tug boat, and "Szotka" the Laser came along for a circuit from Altona, over to the Jawbone, back along the coast to Apex Park, then home. Both the double enders are hoping to complete the 9 day, 140 mile Tawe Nunugah Raid in Tasmania next February

Like the rowing action. RowBob.

Hey Marty, good to hear from you! I amnot sure Ozzie the dog thought much of the rowing action that day. Hope you and Kerryn are still getting out in Rowbob, say hi from me.

As always Gary, thank you! Mars always tickles me - looks like a fun boat that likely gets much attention?! Ozzie goes down as one of the best mates to live.

@garyhardy3810 Год назад

Thanks Rob. Yes, Mars is a great little boat, which draws crowds of admirers wherever it goes. Andrew has made some epic journeys in it, right down the Darling and Murray Rivers. Poor Ozzie, I will have to make sure we are better organised so he doesn't get whacked on the head with the oar in future. But he was very good about it. He is definitely the best first mate!

What beautiful boats 👍🏾😀. Also Ozzie is a star ⭐️

@garyhardy3810 Год назад

Thankyou! The weather here is dismal at the moment but hopefully we will be getting out again soon. Yes, Ozzie steals the show effortlessly. He is a great crew member. 🙂

Great to see you guys on the water at Altona. A beautiful day for a sail. Cheers

@garyhardy3810 Год назад

Thanks Jeff. The Bay round Altona is a great place to sail and explore. I am looking forward to getting out there again soon!

Excellent! Thanks for making the video. Perhaps Ozzie should move a little bit… 😂

@garyhardy3810 Год назад

😄 Thanks Holley. Yes, rowing with him sitting in the line of the oars does have some drawbacks ... for both of us. He usually sits in the area in front of the thwart but we were a bit disorganised and distracted that morning.

Interesting comparison between the two boats Gary. Good to have a similar boat for company on the big sail.

@garyhardy3810 Год назад

Thanks Chris, yes, we seemed to be reasonably evenly matched in terms of progress. I get the feeling we will be fighting it out for the red lantern/ wooden spoon award each day ... or being ignominiously towed in.

@andybullock6848 Год назад

Good one. Is that Melbourne where you're sailing?

@garyhardy3810 Год назад

Hi Andy, yes. This was one of our shakedown cruises for the Tawe Nunnugah. We sailed from Altona this time. Are you Melbourne based?

@collowood Год назад

Great video Gary. Just wondering have you sailed down Laverton creek to the bridge?

@garyhardy3810 Год назад

It is pretty shallow and weedy at the creek mouth these days ... I tried rowing in at a high tide a few months back, and got stuck about 50 metres in.
