I watched a yacht entering Port Phillip heads at about 4 knots once. The tide was going out. A few minutes later I notice the yacht seem to stop then go backwards while clearly sailing the other direction

"The greatest differences in levels occur at about the time of high and low water in the Entrance when the streams run at their strongest, up to 6 knots under normal conditions and approaching 9 knots in extreme conditions."

I think the DeepFlight speed may be an issue some times

Time and tide wait for no man. ( No such thing as PC in Chaucer's time.. lucky bugger )

I did buy a map I thought cool for a xmas present.

He has state by state or the lot- Even a Kiwi and Great Dividing range version. They are prints so not insanely expensive

It would struggle in a few areas of the Whitsundays, too. More than once when sailing there, my Number One, Helen had to bring the tender alongside, raft up to the yacht and use all of the power of the mighty 9hp o/board to add to full sail power, including the 'Iron Jenny'.

The wrecks near Tangalooma would be another interesting site, if used outside of an hour or so either side of slack water.

I saw this advertised, ND and am considering getting one. Are you happy with the quality?

The antique shade is possibly my favorite. I got two- one for me. Framing cost a bit. Very happy with them both.

I think they look great myself- noting My artist in residence has not commented on the one hanging up in front of me ?

It looks like QLD was very busy
