Those are amazing looking creatures. The color of them as well.

You sure have some fantastic places in Oz. And in Winter!
I could definitely find myself living down there. Such a beautiful place with the most spectacular boating locations.

Wow!

That bloody Highlander. Not only does he show off with the best mods, he has to cut in and show his having a better dam breakfast :evil:

Hey wait a minute, that doesn't look like its taken on your boat (actually it probably is knowing your boat :( )

If there is gunna be a breakfast competition, video or photo evidence has to be taken on the boat :P

"In the history of breakfast, there has never been such a thing as "left-over" bacon". :P

I think he's busted. Doesn't count if he wasn't floating.

Should be a breakfast competition thread. Who can make the best breakfast on their boat.

My admiral used to come up with some great breakfasts on board. Usually on the grill and......with bacon. Last time it was pretty simple. Hard boiled eggs and muffins. Boring but always tasty on the water.

:) Thanks Vertex, trying to record as many of our trips as I can be bothered filming as I reckon the kids will appreciate having them in 50 or 60 years.. (and because I'm sure I will enjoy watching them when I one day have to swallow the anchor.. :cry: ...kind of a video log, because I'm too lazy to write a log LOL)

My 8 year old reckons he wants a Mac when he grows up, so who knows, maybe he will have Little Annie in 50 years 8)

Interesting idea actually. A lot of 50 year old plastic boats are still quite pretty (in my eyes anyway). There is little doubt there will still be plenty of Macs around in 50 years. I wonder how their aesthetics will be viewed in 50 years.. :?: I'm reasonably confident that the water ballasted Power Sailor will at least be accepted by then as there will no doubt be many other similar boats. Mind you the power part will no doubt be electric or some other technology by then...
