Sigma 36 video

Well I have to say Decky Daz has stitched together one outstanding video clip of Rogue Wave! The GoPro Hero cameras certainly deliver excellent quality images and the young fella has a knack of filming without the feeling of cameras shoved in your face.

Great job Daz, look forward to punching out offshore and juicing up the shots with some white or green liquid over the bow!

Check out the clip here Sigma 36 video

Rogue Wave off the Gold Coast QLD







Here's a short video of the final leg of my single-handed sail from Southport QLD to Port Stephens NSW that marked the end of 4 months long service leave and also the end of my Malaysia to Australia adventure. I departed Southport around 1600 h after several days port bound due to wild weather. The Gold Coast Seaway was pumping at around 4 metres and breaking right across. I have crossed that seaway hundreds of times and every crossing still gets the same respect as if it was my first. I left on the heels of the front to take advantage of the strong E to NE winds.



We punched our way out of the seaway at the top of the tide and bashed E through the 3 metre swell to get some sea room before I headed SE to round Point Danger off Tweed Heads. Great breeze on the beam provided swift passage all the way past Port Macquarie. After two nights at sea I motorsailed through the heads of Port Stephens at 0500 h to a great welcome home by family and friends.
