In this video we get Renko back into the water and then cruise out to Lady Musgrave Island at the southern end of the Great Barrier Reef. Getting into Lady Musgrave takes a little bit of planning and care but once we were moored it was a fabulous spot to spend a relaxing week diving and snorkelling around the reefs.

@@DangarMarine mate, you'll be let off with a warning - first time offence. You had plenty on your mind, you were excited. Renko looks stunning. The paint gleeming, the Detroit purring. She looked good before, but she is a swan now. Don't know why, but I got a little shiver when you showed the sea anchor tied off on the home made stainless steel cleat. All credit to you and Team Renko - happy voyages

Renko looks great. Agree with the other commenter that the table came out really well. It's awesome that you can practice metal detecting there. You get to dive in clear water to build the muscle memory where you can actually see, there are pre-buried bits of metal for you to search for, and you get garbage out of the ocean at the same time. Everyone wins there. Good to see that not all the world's reefs are bleached and destroyed too. And a Big Lebowski reference to boot!

@stephensmith5317 2 жыл бұрын

my first dive ever was around Lady Musgrave Island. loved it. 1984. so beautiful. brought back awesome memories.. if your reg was made by sherwood is normal to have the air bubbles leaking out it helps seal any water ingress. we were warned about a 20 ft Hammer head shark that frequented the lagoon. thanks for such awesome videos

Thanks mate, all the Raymarine gear certainly has made the cruising both safer and more enjoyable. Although I didn't show it in this video, I had the FLIR camera and radar going all the way up the coast until the sun rose. It gave me great confidence to know the water ahead of us was clear of any unlit obstructions.

I noticed the nice wooden rub rail that you have on Renko and it reminded me of my old trawler that had one like it. I ran into an elevator/escalator guy who told me he had tons of old escalator railings and that they made very durable and maintenance-free rub rails also dock rails. I got them for almost nothing and if you ever want a cheap long lasting railing, look up your local elevator company.

Back in the day the NSW Maritime undertook a survey regarding " new" mooring apparatus for the region. The one you used ( Blue Public Mooring ) in this video was one of the suggested alternatives to a big block of concrete and associated scouring ground chains. I don't believe the idea/change got any legs as the cost was prohibitive for most NSW private boaters ( there are over 6000 in Port Jackson alone as you well know). Great video Stuart and what a lovely boat you have now. Very jealous.
