JUDGES BAY

This stunning photo of woodys hauled out at Judges Bay, Parnell, Auckland comes to us from Lew Redwood’s fb. While the year is unknown, given the quality of the photograph, we must be able to ID some of the woodys?
YACHT CLUB ITALIANO 
My youngest daughter is living the life in Europe at the moment and has instructions to send in boating photos, there are not a lot of woodys in this lot but OMG check out the location (Portofino)
They have just done what’s called ’Sail Croatia Week’, the photo of her on the wheel is the only one without a glass in her hand 🙂 Six females and two Aussies blokes on their yacht, how do you get odds like that?

Three years b4 this, the middle child was in the same spot, but not staying in a hostel 🙂

Wooden Boats In Croatia

Wooden Boats In Croatia

Somehow I think the middle child must be deaf, she has emerged from 22 years of sharing a roof with me & says “Dad you’ll be proud of me, I’m sailing on a wooden yacht in Croatia” & sends me the above photos. When I asked if they actually sailed i.e. put the sails up, she replied “yes I think they did a few times” 🙂
Had a chuckle at the big ugly air con unit on deck, I suppose its the trade off for a cool cabin & cold drinks.

That’s her in the middle doing a back flip 🙂

And b4 Jason P comes on & says “what sails”, there is a wee one 😉
