As of about three weeks ago "Sherlock 2" has a new home - And I must say Gary (previous owner) is a real gentleman. His patient manner and thorough explanation made the experience a real delight. After taking a short trip out of Cleveland in gusty weather as part of the change over I was looking to take the family out for a nice introductory sail.
After considering the lakes on the sunshine coast and local brisbane dams - I got talking with an "old boatie" who said "give the bribie passage a go - you'll really enjoy it".
So we put in at Spinnaker Sound along with the other thousand boaties last weekend. When we got there the line for the boat ramp was out onto the street.... Ohh no
- But by the time i'd rigged Sherlock 2 the ramp was clear and the launch was perfect. The day was lovely, the only let down was that the wind was in hiding. After travelling up the passage we had lunch and started our return. By this stage the tide was coming in and with little wind coming straight up the passage we motored some of the way back.
If anyone could suggest a similar experience - That would be great. (Photos attached)
