Have been cruising around Port Phillip out from Black Rock the last couple of weekends with the kids. The sailing wasn't thrilling but we got some fishing done (The snapper are biting at dawn and dusk...apparently!). We tried a number of different spots with the dropped main roughly tied and boom on topping lift then tied to shroud for quick no fuss clear cockpit for fishing (Also jib furled and anchor dropped). Not bad to have a method to go from sailing to fishing and vice versa in just a couple of minutes. hmm I might add some rod holders on the transom.
We also got to see the whales up pretty close. The height they can get out of the water and the huge noise they make when blasting water out of their blowholes was truly amazing!
