For anyone interested in seeing Macs cruising elsewhere in the world, I'v just come back from a 10 day cruise in a place called Hervey bay, in QLD Australia, famous for having the largest sand island in the world, crystal clear creeks and freshwater lakes, heaps of turtles, dolphins and whales! Video is here:

Wow, that was great!
I wish I had my boat back when my kids were young, but that ship has sailed, long, long ago. Those are memories they (and you) will have forever.

What a great vid. Well done.
Hervey Bay holds a special place in our family. Our kids spent many school holidays visiting grandparents there. We've yet to take our Mac there, but certainly intend to!

We'll see ya there next year then
Actually, we were going to try and do the Whitsundays next year, but I'm thinking that can wait. I'd like to do another cruise but this time from Tin Can Bay to Wathumba Creek and back.
So many places to explore in the Mac, but so little time to do it

.......... Lucky retired people....
