I like toys. They're fun.

btw- I had a second read looking for something offensive, but I still couldn't find it. You're welcome to try again though.


Barco - Yes - she certainly seems capable of escaping civilization for a while. Thats a necessity around here, once I get out of the gulf.

Crossing the Great Australian Bight will put any boat to the test. You can stay close to land if you want, but it is the longest uninterupted cliff face on the planet, so it offers no protection.
Further offshore is better sailing where the swell interval is longer, but weather prediction is poor in this part of the world, so you have to be ready for anything.
