1st boat return of a sydney 36 GAUNTLET

On the 18/08/10 I set off on my first boat return with the skipper, Peter Milliken, crew... Clayton (the co-owner or Gauntlet), Nick (crew) and Me.

It started off by me planning my trip up to yepoon, which ended up being a greyhound bus. I then got a lift to the local airport to meet Peter and the rest of the crew. we then caught a maxi taxi to the marina to fuel up and get ready for the journey to Brisbane. The trip down to Brisbane ended up being really slow and not much sailing more motoring, because we were heading straight into the wind. Instead of motoring the only other option was to keep tacking but that would have been even longer than going straight into the wind. we then had to pull into Mooloolabar for fuel and some food. It ended up taking another 8-10 hours of 5knots straight into the wind until we hit Morton Bay. We motored into the marina just after 12:00 midnight, packed up the boat, caught a taxi to Peters house for the night then i would catch the train from roma street back to bundy.
