Alex's adventures

I took Aki and Saori out sailing on the Hobie at Cannons Creek at low tide. Water was so low it was difficult to launch and I got stuck on a filthy "mud bar". Didn't know if the Hobie could take 3 people but it handled it well. Kept the sail partially furled just in case. Loved listening to Saori squealing and having fun as we cut through waves and wind. Aki kicked back and took it in her stride like she always does. A fun day with smiles all around, that's what sailing is all about! Video: https://youtu.be/0sonZr7klDc

Bloody windy and gusty day, good chance to practice hoisting the troublesome Spinnaker and work unfamiliar positions on JFORCE before the state championships. We made lots of mistakes and got our technique pretty much down pat. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O0wJfegaTDs

Silly swan pays a visit to campers, cleans up, tries to get into a caravan, then gets grumpy. Video link: https://youtu.be/ow8k9uHiyOs

Aki flew down from Japan so we took out the new 21' Goldstar Liberty Tourer for a camping trip in South Australia, complete with riding and kayaking. Camped at Munnum on the Murray (one of my fav camp sites), then cruised to KingstonSE and filled my water tanks with stinking bore water YUCK! After flushing the tanks we explored Beachport then set up at Tantaloona and went riding around the area. The Caravan had a lot of problems, will do a separate video on those and also Goldstar's actions to help resolve those problems. Will also do a few vids on our adventures around Mt Gambier. Aki is loving the adventure, but does find all the problems with the caravan a bit frustrating. Tantaloona offers a great 48hr free RV site, with the Tantaloona Tiger Hotel across the road and toilets, dump point and water. It's self-contained only so no camping.

Quickly unloaded the Triumph Sprint from my ute when invited on a fun ride on short notice. Good times. VicTT is a club for experienced riders and you can find them on meetup if you want to join in! Club:  https://www.meetup.com/Vic-TT-Riders Video link:  https://youtu.be/dU90z4LYkzc

An underwater garden paradise. Ewens Ponds are fed by underground aquifers and have crystal clear spring-water! Full of lush native plants and fish, the ponds make for spectacular snorkeling and free-diving. If you head near Mt Gambier near the SA / VIC border I recommend you go there. It's free (for now) but it's cold so bring your wet-suit. Below I've included a location link and more info on the ponds from National Parks. Please like and sub to my channel so I can bring more cool content. https://youtu.be/cIBY9U9R6ug https://goo.gl/maps/Xo7k8VgsAAC2 https://www.parks.sa.gov.au/find-a-park/Browse_by_region/Limestone_Coast/ewens-ponds-conservation-park
