First trip out to Fitzroy Island sailing as a couple

I have put together this little video while we went sailing around Fitzroy Island. This was our first time being out as a couple. My focus was on the boat and listening to Fred, making sure I was not messing up. I have not been sailing for decades, but it is slowly all coming back and Fred was very happy in the way I handled myself on the boat. We are making a great team.

This video won’t show you much at this stage, and I will be offering a better introduction to our new member of the family very soon. A beautiful Dufour 36, we are very proud to have and we’ll be looking after her.

Thanks for watching.

Mel, Fred and little William.

We are a French couple living the Australian dream. Arrived in 2007, we have worked our way up in the hotel industry, Fred as a Head Chef and me as a Duty Manager. After 5 years running our own restaurant, we have decided to sell our business to make space to our little Bub coming around June 2018. It was sad to say goodbye to our customers and seeing the restaurant being changed to something different but our heart has taken a different approach in life and is sending us on a journey into sailing with our child. Follow us for more details ;) Thank you for joining us. A bientôt! Melanie & Frederic (& now little William ;)
