Pongrass

I find it so amazing here.


I know the UK has lots to offer, for example some fantastic scenery and beautiful historical buildings but I have been in England for over fourty years. Australia is new to me and I want to see and do things that I haven't experienced before.








I have taken up surfing, not great at it but can catch a wave and stand up. So what next?
Port Macquarie has some beautiful water ways, rivers and estuaries. We have admired them from the shore and wondered how it would be to travel around them.







My boss invited me to go water skiing one weekend, so Jacob and I went to Telegraph point. Jacob and I had some fun on a tube and I tried poorly to water ski. I returned home and started the search for a boat. A few weeks later, I picked up our new edition "Pongrass" a fiberglass runabout with a 40hp motor.
I then had the wonderful task of obtaining my skippers licence.
Never piloting a boat other than two hours on the Norfolk Broads, this was a little daunting to say the least. After studing the NSW maritime DVD numerous times and practicing the test online, I passed with 100% score. Get me!!!!!!!!!!
