Christmas Holidays - The Hawksbury River was very relaxing and picturesque, here are a few happy snaps. We thoroughly explored the area with 16 days, Smiths Creek to Bobbin Head, and Cottage Point, up to Brooklyn on the Hawkesbury, and all through Pittwater, Coasters Retreat being a favourite. Everywhere was very popular area over christmas, with some bays looking like floating caravan parks

Monday 16th - Thanks to Ant, Fee Fee, and Scott for bringing Leap Frog home, sounds like a washing machine of a trip, with a few green, yellow purple faces and a few green, yellow and purple chunders, although from all accounts the salad rolls where nice on the initial intake.

Fee Fee La Rue piked out due to a big night and resulting hangover . 3rd on handicap
Australia Day - A combined Australia Day and Scott's Birthday party celebration happened at Strickland House, a crew sailed the boat over and anchored off Milk Beach in front of Strickland House. A party then proceeded, the photos tell the story.
Scott and Bernard - can you spot Leap Frog on anchor
The picnic party clan
Friday 27th - RANSA Twilights - Scott, Tony, Anthony, & Irish Shane. A very tired crew arrived for 25 - 30 knots of wind and harbour whitecaps. We reefed the main and the headsail on a number 1 reef. It was a hard battle up the harbour but we still managed to drink a case of beer and get a 5th place in the race - well done team
