Airlie Beach
I’m a 38 year old electrical engineer that has been sailing since I was 8 years old. I mostly sail my 36ft Crowther trimaran solo. I have thousands of nautical smiles under my belt on various cruising and racing boats. Even kite and sail board racing. I may as well start recording them hey.
