Glad you enjoyed our town and marina in Newy. 😊👍

Sure did Bruce, the highlight was the Soldier Walk thing up over the coastline, simply sensational. Cheers

another great episode. lovely to see whale breaching and you always seem to have dolphins nearby.

[@sailingiluka4048]

Hi Mark, glad your enjoying the episodes, yeah we are the dolphin magnet, but only if we are going about 7.5knts or better, must be something to do with the bow pressure but they sure do seem to enjoy the ride, as we do having them there as well. Take care and stay safe….

Great video series. I felt like was on the trips with you. Keep it up (please).

[@sailingiluka4048]

Hi Norman, glad you are enjoying them. We have some great ones coming up as we go through the Whitsundays so I hope we don't disappoint.. I am just trying to get the time to put them together as I am about two months behind. Anyway another one will be out this afternoon so I hoe you enjoy. Cheers

Going great guns! Loving the trip! What’s your standard sailing distance from the shore line? 2nm?

[@sailingiluka4048]

Hi Tristan, thanks for following us. We love to sit mostly between 4 and 30 miles off shore, depending greatly on current when coming up the East Coast. It is good to cruise the coast every now and then to check out the coastline, but we like to stay ouy of everyone's way and enjoy the Ocean. Cheers

is it still out there ??

[@PaulSmith-hu5su]

Great vid, I see you gave Lake Macquarie a miss would this be due to the poorly maintained channel we have to deal with? Shame as there is a lot to see and enjoy in Lake Macquarie

[@sailingiluka4048]

Hi Paul, yes we did but next time we are down that way we will certainly be calling in if weather allows us to. Stay safe...

@@sailingiluka4048 It's a shame, Lake Mac is lovely.

[@sailingiluka4048]

Don't worry, we will be back......

[@benknobben8052]

Hello How far behind time are your episodes published?

[@sailingiluka4048]

Hi Ben, we are actually in the Whitsundays now so playing catch up, I’m about six weeks at the moment, takes a whole day to put an episode out but I promise I’ll get into it over the next week or so

[@benknobben8052]

@@sailingiluka4048 thanks. We are heading from Adelaide to Cairns to return a purchased yacht to Adelaide. Will be there hopefully 9 September?? Might get as far as Brisbane. Have sailed with Alan at CYC on Locomotion

[@sailingiluka4048]

@@benknobben8052 no worries, we will still be in Whitsundays cruising around for a month then. Plan to leave Hamilton Island marina on the 6th. Keep an eye out for us, might be able to catch up and do an interview with you. Safe sails..
