The third season we have been sailing. We purchased Meridian ii in February 2010, did extensive work on rigging, charts, antifouling before sailing her to Mindarie where we had a temporary pen. Our first long leg was to Bunbury with Son and Son-in-law. All went well until the return trip when leaving the Cut in Mandurah we lost our motor. No wind to talk of so a long trip back to Hillary's where we planned to anchor on the lee side of Hillary's. Unfortunately as luck would have it, the wind rose to 25knots and the anchor dragged, so it was on the radio to sea rescue and they towed us back to Mindarie. The problem was the lifters, so sea power sorted that out with installing new lifters and we were back ready to sail.
Mainly day trips along the coast through that season.
