Home Sweet home

Last night moonraker sailed into the port of Fremantle which ended our journey on the water for another year. Well at least for a big sail.

I have learnt much this trip. I am indebted to a few people who have made me push the boundaries and made me learn for myself. I have had a few problems but it is how you overcome these little adventures that either build your character or break you. There were moments when i felt maybe this is all too big for me and there were moments that I thought no way.. I can do this...

I have now done it. brought my boat home with the help of a friend and the personal support of many.

I have realized that i can do this, get my boat in and out of ports and marinas, I can steer while furling and holding ropes, I can navigate and get the boat out of a marina in the dark.. I can raise a sail and set one just as good. i can read the wind and I can sail my boat..

Again we sailed down the coast with another boat and once again the friendship of a Yachty was greatly accepted. Gulnare is now in Jurien, Gray Douglas is on her way home and Pegasus is heading for shark bay. Trenquility two has come home early..(my update on yachts..)

Well it is time to end this blog and thankfully say we are home safe and sound and will now start to prepare for the next journey... this time with a crew..

To those of you who are following my journey i thank you for your love and support. It is always a learning path and one which never ceases to amaze me.

Home Sweet home.. but its not quite the same as floating on the ocean..cant wait to get out again..
