Inconvenience. A Remote Cruising Reality - Episode 199

"Quite a bit about remote cruising is actually inconvenient. Inconvenience is romantic." I had to laugh while I was editing Troy's chat to the camera at that moment. It pretty much sums up cruising the West Australian coast. Beautiful, romantic, windy, dusty, dry as anything and, therefore, incredibly inconvenient. 

We had a bit of fun fishing with my cousin in this week's episode, it was such a pleasure to be able to see him up north and spend some time on the old runabout boat that we both grew up on.  I'd also forgotten about the unexpected wild ride into our final anchorage at Tantabiddi. 

We can strongly recommend making your own ghee. The flavour is better than any bought ghee we've had. I even used the left over milk solids in a boiled fruit cake which features in next week's episode. 

Until then, please enjoy our latest!

We are showing a couple of folks the boat this weekend and we'll see how it goes. We have a back up plan if the boat doesn't sell now so we should be able to let you all know what's happening in March.
