A great day for sailing

I got a phone call this morning, would I like to go sailing? Very much yes! So I joined Julie, Margaret, David and Craig on Adam Gollow's 10.4 metre (34 foot) catamaran Khamsin.

We motored out through the Cullen Bay lock and
had a really good afternoon's sail.

We had fun for something like 4 hours sailing around Darwin Harbour.

Enjoying the sailing
At times it was quite hot but when we got a good wind it was pleasant to be out on the water.
