this ones' got her sea legs

Every sail is different... and its uncontrollable. when youre out there... youre out there. and there's nothing you can do... and so, when we head out to the open sea, i do in some sense, have no choice but to entrust my life with the captain and the rest of the trained professionals on board (and of course, the Big Guy thats with us) .... But here are some photos from the sail to portland, victoria to hobart, tasmania. if you are geographically aware, that means we sailed across the Bass Strait which is notoriously the roughest waters in australia... so we mentally and physically prepared ourselves for the 2 and half day sail and this is what it looked like. it wasn't as bad as we thought though (if it was, i wouldn't have been able to take any photos!) the worst it got was about 5 meter waves and a lot of rocking, but i wouldn't neccesarily call it the 'smoothest sail'... i try to be careful sharing this cause theres still a number of sails ahead of me... but i'll share with you that i didn't chuck up once in the last 2 months and i think its safe to say that i got my 'sea legs' which.... am quite happy about. :)
