Great video. Thanks. I enjoyed the discussion about "what is a dinghy?" While it's true, it should not have a cabin, a more practical definition for dinghy cruisers could be:- can be trailed behind a normal car and sailed within about 1 hour, and pulled up to a beach so you don't need another dinghy to get ashore. After all, we would all recognize a Paradox as a dinghy, but it's definitely got a lid. Anyway, the important thing is have fun afloat.

there are some big fishermen in the lake now. Its been 20+ years since commercial fishing finished in the lake, back then the commercial fishermen kept the shark both the numbers and size low but in the years since both the size and numbers have grown. there was a great white with a crab pot ring caught around it head that's starting to cut into its body a couple of weeks ago there was a big (10ft) bull shark cruising around LMYC morings. Love the Videos

Sir Robin Knox-Johnson carried a .303 onboard Suhaily. He actually used it in anger in addressing a small problem that he had with a sinking yacht and a very large shark. I don't know how the locals would feel about you using such a rifle on Lake Macquarie but it's a thought, anyway. Perhaps shark fin soup could augment the culinary masterpieces that you all seem to really enjoy. Thanks for another video. I've been crook all week. I feel better now.

Apologies if this comment has already been made - re Trevor's explanation of POSH. That referred to voyages between Britain and India, not the Med, and it became associated with the P&O Line in particular. However, multiple sources say there is no evidence to support Port Out, Starboard Home ever occurred as explained. There are multiple alternative explanations for the origin of the term but nobody really knows for sure!

Peter T Thoroughly enjoy your videos. Wish I could take part in your raids. Three mitigating factors being I’m 80, don’t have a boat and live on Melbourne. But there’s time yet! Some points of order. The “windows” in the side of a ship commonly referred to as portholes are more correctly called scuttles. The term port for the “left” side of a ship was only officially adopted in 1844 though it presumably had been widely used prior to this date. Previous to this the “left” side was called larboard. The potential confusion from the two similar sounding terms lead to the change. Source: “The Oxford Companion to Ships and the Sea.

If the shark was 10 feet between tail and dorsal fin it isn't a Bull Shark, that would be around 12 to 13 foot long and Bullies don't grow to that size, unless it was a freak of nature one off. Mate I think it's time you bit the bullet and got a petrol engine, I binged watched you through covid and noticed you were always being towed a fair bit by the petrol heads. Electric is is ok but if you need to be towed at all then it's time to reassess the situation. it doesn't seem practical.

My paradox in the video has an electric outboard. It’s not the outboard itself but the battery and recharging capacity that limits an electric outboard. I have mine connected though a regulator to the 2 solar solar panels,and a 100 amp hour battery and I’ve had it running for 4 hours nonstop and only used 60% of the available power in the outboard battery. You couldn’t carry enough fuel to run a petrol outboard that long and even if you could you would have to stop and refuel maybe 6 or 7 times over 4 hours. It’s the best investment I’ve ever made - no noise, no stinking fuel can, no noise, starts first go every time, and pound for pound in weight it’s more powerful than a 2.3 Honda petrol outboard that came with the boat. Plus the freezer/fridge, dehumidifier, fan, iPad Navionics, stereo, VHF radio and lights all draw power out of the same system. I’ve been on the water 3 days and not used anywhere near the power capacity I have. Would never go back to petrol now. I know Paul is looking to maybe upgrade to a solar system.

Hi Yes I've often thought the same...but I do like how light the electric is to lift in and out of the well. Another downside is I never really know how much juice I have left, so err on the side of caution and accept a tow when in company. When I'm by myself I try and sail, accept for getting onto the ramp as I don't have oars. Thanks for watching, cheers Paul
