Happy Christmas everyone and thank you for watching all year and thank you for leaving a comment...I reply to all of them , cheers Paul

Another great video and a another great adventure showing the world what crazy RAIDers we are. Thanks Paul for all these great memories. Looking forward seeing our other madness on the water. Cheers, Terry.

“It’s never a race” is what the boat behind you always says.

Looks like a very relaxing way to spend time. 👍

Hi, Paul, this was a nice episode, cinematography and commentary were excellent.  The Farr 5000 seems to be a fine sailer.  It would be great to see a bunch of you and your friends sail down to NZ.  When you sail, thinking out loud, it a real favor to those of us who enjoy sailing.  Also naming the different boats as they sail by is terrific, much appreciated.  It looks like you’re a vegetarian and we get to see your chow…heh, heh, I reckon it’s adequate for consumption.  Sheesh.  I still lust for that Stornaway 18, best sailer out there.  We get cicadas in east Tennessee too, MAN-O-MAN!!! They can really make the loud, annoying racket.  Glad they only do it once in a while.  Thank you for your good, good work…from an old fan, finally retired in the US, foothills of the east Tennessee, Smoky Mountain National Park.

I enjoyed this one especially, just proving there is no need for heroics in heavy winds, just chilled. You must be easy to cater for at home - you will eat just about anything!

Fun

Those Cicadas would have my head turned! Here in Ireland, we have rubbish weather, but very few annoying insects. Lovely to see a bit of summer, as we head towards midwinter.  Thanks for another great upload!

Reminds me of the Farside cartoon  two guys camping and caption reads I wish thoughs cicadas would shut up. Love thoughs narly trees etc and the sounds of sailing.

Thanks for another great video Paul. Although we did not actually sail to any destination I hope everyone enjoyed a relaxing few days. Have a great Christmas and New Year and see you on the water in 2025 !

Very good.

Mayfield gardens, I agree definitely worth a visit.

The couple sailing the lakes up the East coast I'm  jealous ,jealous , jealous...😊

Looks like You guys Definitely chose a great spot for a sail, I've never been to Myall lakes from your footage it looks really nice.


Cheers

Tiller snapped.     Plenty of trees up there.

Another fun vid, thanx.

Awesome!! you guys do live in paradise! 😁😁

Yet another wonderful trip, Paul. (Can’t wait for the next one!)  Cheers, these days on a small island in Okinawa for the winter...

Great video and an enjoyable couple of days Paul. Looking forward to more outings.

As always, enjoyed the adventure. I take note of your mealtime delicacies and you mentioned you might precook some pasta for next time. I can’t imagine that Ready Pasta by Barilla isn’t available there. It’s fully cooked and easily added to any dish. Highly recommended.

Ha! I am the 99th comment!! I love the campfires and cooking and camping as much as the small boat sailing! Thanks Paul. I might be snookered by the end of this Cheers!! 😏⛵⛵⛵

Another great vid, used to do the same in an RL24 years ago, great times before kids and bigger boats.  It's just not a Summer without the drone of cicadas hey!

Good afternoon everyone
