It was great to be back on the boat this weekend after four weeks. The weather was unexpectedly clear and crisp despite a few showers overnight. We stayed in Towlers Bay on Saturday night and walked up to Pittwater Youth Hostel on Sunday morning.
Over the years, many people have asked me what made me take up sailing. Mostly, I've told them about watching the Sydney to Hobart race start in 1985 and thinking why can't I? But earlier, in the late sixties and early seventies, I spent a lot of weekends at the Youth Hostel at Towlers Bay from which the above shot was taken. Having a boat seemed out of reach then, but with a view like that, you'd have to dream about it...
