Journey into the Bloggersphere


Single-handed Sailing on Moreton Bay

We’re a baby boomer empty nester couple whose favourite pastimes are sailing and travelling. 
 
This is our first ever post, and we expect it will be an interesting learning curve for us, if not exactly a journey into the unknown.
 
Moreton Bay, off the coast of Brisbane in Queensland, Australia is our ‘backyard’ and is where we have enjoyed great sailing for over 25 years. 
 
The winds of Moreton Bay are relatively light and the waters protected.  Typically, one day on the bay can be more therapeutic than three days at a holiday resort.  When it all gets too relaxing, social and single-handed handed racing provides friendly competition.
 
It’s not all about relaxation.  We also endure the occasional wild storm.

On our travels, no harbour, marina, river or lake escapes our attention for long. We look forward to sharing some of our waterline adventures and wanderings on jibsheetsandjourneys.

  1. An amazing shot - you've captured the dramatic contrast between the perfect day and spectacular storm rolling in.

  2. A good start to blogging. The contrast in sailing weather is great. It looks like a spammer has crept in to your comments by having a google address, but at least the comment is okay.
