[PIL66 - XL2]

Yes I heard he did.... Run out tide at night

 

[jmh2002]

Lucky to get away with his life perhaps. But also, maybe not clever either... if it really was 'challenging conditions' according to Marine Rescue Iluka Yamba.

Can check availability of 12-meter (sisterboat on the pic below) cat if You are able to fly to Portugal. Without any guarantee that Owners are ready to sell her at the moment ...

[PIL66 - XL2]

[DtM]

He does and you are correct.

 

[boardhead]

*Mods plz don't delete my account. I'll stir drama, promise.
