Nice to explore the airbase.

Hi, well mixed feelings to see the distruction of the buildings on Collins Island. My self and family built the first shed, that's the one with the rounded roof, and three years building the airstrip. Hand shoveled over 400tons of gravel for top dressing. We owned all the oyster leases on all the islands, 14 of them, involving 800 acres of natural rock oysters. The island has had several owners since we left a d the last owner hung himself in our old shed. There is a big story involving the lease and who is going to clean up the island. So safe sailing and have enjoyed your efforts. Jan and Al.

Thanks for the advice on anchorages as you head south.

Thanks

Really enjoyed the video. Round Rock looks like an interesting anchorage. You referenced a book by Neil Patrick. I can’t find it online. Could you possibly provide a lead? Cheers, Tony. 😊

Thanks for watching Dude.

Hey Norm, do you have any backup systems when you go on land and investigate an island? It struck me that if either of you had an accident and there's no one around, what would you do? Also, what if your electric outboard malfunctioned. How would you get back to the boat? As a novice (total virgin) I would love to know your thinking. CHEERS!

Hi Norm, I seem to remember you have two Nanni 4.38 shaft drive diesels in PeggyAnn. We have one Nanni 4.38 shaft drive in our boat. Could you pls tell us what rpm's you settle on for your cruising which seems to achieve around 6 knots Love your videos, great boat too. thanks mate. Geoff Reichelt
