Enjoyed your vid so much Norm. We've always been hoping you would give us the tide height and minimum depth you encountered at that time and that way we can determine if our vessel with a 1.9m draft can get in on the appropriate tide. It was great that you did that and hope you continue in future episodes. Sorry we missed you as we left Jumpinpin just before you anchored Fri. Next time.....😅

Thanks for watching Dudes. Don't like giving out depths as they change so much. There was a dude in there with a 2m draft. Hope that helps.

Something that's striking but not surprising the government spends very little on east coast waterways and bars when it comes to desilting and dredging.

True dude. And with a bit of depth that are a lot friendlier.

Hi Norm, this may have been asked before? I’ve often wondered why you don’t run your furling line back on to the drum of your anchor winch? Is the lead that bad? Never really got a clear view 😊 cheers mate love the videos! Charley, Beauty Point

It's a good thought dude, but a bit of a hassle declutching the warping head from the gipsy. And where would I get my upper body workout?

Loved the episode Lord Dude but I am somewhat confused. I noted the date on your calendar said *NOVEMBER 2023,* I thought you had gone down to your daughter's place at Phillip Island for Christmas, but then shot back up to QLD due to the inclement weather, but nbow I find myself asking *_WHERE IN THE WORLD IS CARMEN SAN DIEGO?_* Love that rainy weather mate. Great for sleeping in!

A bit over the rain dude. Yeah that date should have been changed. Was in Melb from 22nd Dec to day after boxing day. Next week's video covers the trip, which will put the trip south a bit outa order. Hope it doesn't muck with your head too much Angus. Thanks for watching dude.
