Sailing: the fine art of getting wet and becoming ill while slowly going nowhere at great expense.

First Post

On our Coastal Skipper course
This is our first post just to see how its done, hopefully we can erase our mistakes later.
To gain some sailing experience and knowledge we signed up for the Coastal Skipper course out of  Lake Macquarie.  We had five days of chart reading, blind navigation, night sailing, a bit of rough seas - pass the bucket, quick! - and excellent  teaching from Chris on Sea G.  So  we are feeling a bit more confident to face the open ocean on our Cairns to Darwin trip.
