When I bought my Grady online just over 12 months ago I had no idea the journey I was embarking on........
Call me naive, but getting it here to Australia was only half of the story.
I considered myself lucky to have found a great boat at a great price and it fitted my needs perfectly.
I don't know how I would have solved many of the issues without the help of this forum especially; as well as others on US boating forums.
I believe I have created new contacts as well as distant friends through my Grady. I have spent Easter having some Coral Sea boating adventures with Ken Lahr and his family, even tho' we had never met before.
I Have received important as well as little titbits of advice from you all as I tune in daily.
And now it's Christmas Eve , it's awfully warm and humid, we have dragged Tanami 2 hours up the highway to our caravan and we are about to go another 3 hours up to wonderful Mission Beach for a family reunion with lots of boating on the ajenda.
Wishing all my Grady friends (too many to list now)a peaceful Christmas and a brand new 2009.

Thanks Ken,

we are finally enjoying some good weather (light winds) and will head out to the reef tonight for a spot of "sinkerbobbing".

motors are finally running well. we had 5 onboard, 150 galls of fuel ,full water and ice, 4200 rpm 29 knots and less than 70 liters per hour. The best economy I have seen on Tanami.

Best wishes to all cheers mate.
