    A few years back a couple fell off a cliff while not paying attention trying to get a selfie. They left 2 children standing at the top of the cliff. Selfies are cool...not falling off a cliff or ladder the height of a cliff is better lol.
    Have fun and be safe.

    I absolutely love these sailing vlogs. They’re so British, most of the time talking about the weather and if it’s raining or not it’s just like listening to anyone in England and their normal chat at any moment 🌬🌦 I love it👌

    G'day Xanthe and Jackson,the island seems quite quaint,from the proper limestone caves,to the fresh water ponds.The weather definitely leaves a lot to be desired though,but not restricting you completely.Can't sell you boat yet,it needs to find it's namesake in Sydney first don't you think?
    All the best as you keep adventuring,looks like you got Suzie fixed Jackson 👍

    Hi Jackson and Xanthe - I watched you guys sail in to Pittwater on Saturday - was up Barrenjoey Lighthouse standing near your friends and family
    Was great to see 'Finding Avalon' in the flesh - and you both looked pretty exited to have finally 'Found Avalon'
    Welcome Home - I really do hope that there will be more adventures for you both to experience (and for us to watch via your CZcams channel, of course)
    All the very best with your future endeavours and adventures

You explained your situation ..I know your real apprehension in your discribed current problem. Check your fuel tank air intake cap... Eventually get a 2- stroke Tohatsu or Nissan 2 stroke. They are Tohatsu's inside... My choice a 9.8 Tohatsu 2 stroke ( 59 lbs) 12 years no problems. BULLET PROOF I paid 650$ U.S. used, with under 50 hrs. G.T. S.V. Silver Fantasy

As a pharmacist I have helped many get over a bump in the road. It’s best to go around problems, just avoid them. I understand that things like riding a motor bike can be dangerous but fun.
