25.01.2022 "One day, while an old Sailor was cutting the branch off a tree high above a river, his ax fell into the water. When he cried out, the Lord appeared and asked, ..."Why are you crying?" The Sailor replied that his ax had fallen into water, and he needed the ax to supplement his meager pension. The Lord went down into the water and reappeared with a golden ax. "Is this your ax?" the Lord asked. The Sailor replied, "No". The Lord again went down and came up with a silver ax. "Is this your Ax?" the Lord asked.Again, he replied, "No Lord." The Lord went down again and came up with an iron ax. "Is this your Ax?" the Lord asked. The Sailor replied, "Yes." The Lord was pleased with his honesty and gave him all three axes to keep, and he went home happy. Sometime later the Sailor was walking with his wife along the river bank, and his wife fell into the river. When he cried out, the Lord again appeared and asked him, "Why are you crying?" "Oh Lord, my wife has fallen into the water!" The Lord went down into the water and came up with Jennifer Aniston. "Is this your wife?" the Lord asked."Yup that's her," cried the Sailor.Yes. The Lord was furious. "You lied! That is an untruth!" The Sailor replied, "Oh, forgive me Lord. It is a misunderstanding. You see, if I had said 'no' to Jennifer Aniston, You would have come up with Cameron Diaz. Then if I said 'no' to her, you would have come up with my woman. Had I then said 'yes,' you would have given me all three. And Lord, I am an old man not able to take care of all three women in a way that they deserve, that's why I said yes to Jennifer Aniston." And God was pleased. The moral of this story is: Whenever a Sailor lies, it is for a good and honorable reason, and only for the benefit of others!" Hallelujah.

19.01.2022 Our Queensland sailing regattas were cut short thanks to Covid (or Rona as Queenslanders call it), but a big thank you to Whitsunday Sailing Club for putting on an excellent Airlie Beach Race Week in very challenging circumstances. Regardless of racing, Queensland is such a beautiful place to sail....

19.01.2022 Fog clearing.... 3:15pm

15.01.2022 Holy Cow is heading for Queensland... and already the days and nights are feeling warmer. Departed Sydney Harbour when the Qld border opened and now were trying to reach the Gold Coast before the looming East Coast low catches us.

15.01.2022 Spectacular sailing today- sunrise clouds somewhere north of Coffs Harbour, a dolphin escort and sunset passing Cape Byron. Well be in Queensland before midnight.

13.01.2022 Rainbows, warships & warmer waters. Holy Cow has left the Brisbane River, with its warships assembling to head north for Talisman Sabre 19, and it is good to have reached the warmer, protected waters inside the reef.

12.01.2022 Always amazed by the beautiful colours of the Whitsundays in winter!

10.01.2022 Day 4 Airlie Beach Race Week. Sunshine, blue skies and a (very) gentle breeze. Race Committee has done really well to get everyone out and around the courses. Holy Cow would prefer more wind but its beautiful just to be here.

06.01.2022 Thank you Nebo Tracker for keeping Holy Cow visible wherever we are!

06.01.2022 How lucky are we? Sydney Harbour- a perfect place to isolate!

05.01.2022 Finally the long awaited news that the Queensland border is opening. Holy Cows entries for Airlie Beach and Hamilton Island Race Weeks went in as soon as the announcement was made- cant wait to head north for the Queensland sunshine!

03.01.2022 Holy Cows travels... Finally a fresh & sparkling Holy Cow lifted back into the water at Gold Coast City Marina. After an uneventful early journey north from Sydney to Queensland (too early for whales, or maybe theyre smart enough to avoid the strong northerly current), Holy Cow has had the full rejuvenation treatment at the Gold Coast City Marina. We cannot speak highly enough of GCCM and the GC Marine Precinct in general- a huge facility with every conceivable maritime service, product and operator on site and the people are wonderful!

03.01.2022 Big thankyou to North Sails for whipping up a replacement gennaker for Holy Cow at Hamilton Island Race Week.

02.01.2022 On a wet & windy autumn afternoon its great to look back at the best bits of Holy Cows summer on Sydney Harbour....
