Winter Sailing on the Gippsland Lakes

[@Helliconia54]

Another brilliant video. Thank you for highlighting my favourite sailing waters, once again. Saw your last one. Keep them coming BTW been watching your earlier videos too. Mud island is one i'd love to do

[@TRAILERYACHTADVENTURES]

Yes, mud islands was one of my favorite trips on PPB. Really miss the PPB sailing now I live in Gippsland. Great spot. Glad you enjoyed the video. Trips have been a bit limited with sick old dogs and lots of commitments. Hopefully I will get out a bit more in the coming months. Cheers Mark

Thanks for the great video, Mark. Hope to get back there soon with a new boat!

[@TRAILERYACHTADVENTURES]

Glad you enjoyed it. Life gets busy with grand kids and looking after old dogs so not as many trips at the moment. Not sure if I am ready for a new boat quiet yet, quite like my Neringa at the moment. Cheers Mark

Looks like a very nice trip. It just proves that sailing is a year round thing, if you plan it right.

Gippsland often has great periods of beautiful winter weather, seems a waste not to use it. As a bonus the lakes are nearly deserted with no big motor boats not giving way or creating mountainous wakes close by :)

Hi Mark, once again I don’t know how I missed this video about a month ago. Any way I was only just thinking about you when one of your old video pop up on my feed. It was the one you did about the shipwrecks in Geelong and around Swan island . Any way glad all is going well and have you retired full time now? If you want to do the MPONR as hellicona54 said I know myself and one other that would love to do it and yes we both race.

Hi Mark, nice to hear from you. Life has got busy with grand kids, house rennos, and endless other projects despite being retired. So I don't do so many videos for youtube anymore. As you know I am not much of a racer but maybe for fun one year I would do the MPONR. I will keep you in mind if I do. Do you still get out sailing on Port Phillip? I miss the bay sailing but with the boat on the jetty on the lakes here most of the time its easier to sail here.

I see that dodgy great trawler is still moored in the strait….

[@TRAILERYACHTADVENTURES]

Thought it would never move but on the return trip it was gone.... totally shocked! :)

[@Helliconia54]

Have you sailed the MPONR ?

[@TRAILERYACHTADVENTURES]

No not yet. I am not much of a racer by nature and get very on edge when boats get too close. Maybe one day just to have a bit of fun!
