Sailing With Friends

I enjoy the solitude of sailing solo, but as they say, "No man is an island." That's why I always enjoy when a friend drops by. This is my mate, John in his OzGoose, 'Tadpole'—a very capable boat that I always enjoy sailing alongside. On a recent trip camping on the shore of the stunning Lake Glenbawn in the Hunter Valley, I took my little fibreglass clinker, 'Sparkle'—a 10 foot lug rigged dinghy I can pretty much drag anywhere—when who should slip into my quiet harbour! So here's to sailing with mates, and quiet cups of tea on solitary shores!
