Did my first single handed trip of any note this weekend. Its winter here but had a fantastic time, no major incidents and to top it all was escorted into the anchorage by some dolphins. Fantastic trip and got some on camera. Thought i would share the Aroha!

Looks like a great boat and I am always happy to see people living their dreams but thanks! Thanks for not using "sail away with me now honey" as the sound track!

Thanks,

sail away with me honey.... nice song that, but I hear you!

Really loving the boat as you can probably tell, and i couldn't have asked for a better first trip. Boat is a 1969 Lidgard 32, really nice order and a pleasure to sail. Very happy so far.

I'm envious. I so want to get out for my fist solo to a destination.

Your sound when your talking was really hard to hear.

I was testing my new gopro camera in a waterproof case which is why the sound was dodgy... there is another case which is supposed to be better for sound. Will give it a go next time....we live and learn!
