    Unfortunately no. My husbands wish is to buy a yacht and travel. This is one we hired down at Metung and played on the Gippsland lakes.

    That looks so amazing… how is it that it didn’t tip over?

  • Dharna replied

    These is a huge lump of weight on the bottom so it can’t fall over. Took me quite a few trips to get to enjoy this. The first trip I thought I was going to die.

  • Dharna replied

    Thanks CLiPiCs. Everything was just right this day. The wind can be quite gusty on the lakes due to the surrounding land. But this day the wind was steady and in one direction. PERFECT!!!

    Outstanding shot! ‘You aren’t truly sailing unless the gunnels are in the water!’ as the saying goes…

  • Dharna replied

    Thanks Jon. I’ve been sailing for 20 years now and in the beginning I thought I was going to die…..now I love it. we take turns to see who can lean the most. This day we nearly lost a fishing rod overboard.

  • Dharna replied 28 days ago

    At this angle there is not much to hang on to. Just had to brace myself and hope for the best. Actually looks worse than it really is, but why spoil a shot with the truth
