Welcome Aboard
Important Information for Visitors
The following information is provided for guests onboard our sailing yacht ‘Gumnuts’ to help you enjoy your stay and most importantly as a reminder of important SAFETY information that was provided when you arrived.
If there is something else you would like to know more about, how to sail or how to navigate, or anything at all, just ask. Shiree and I can manage the boat entirely on our own, so you are welcome to sit back and relax or to be fully active and engaged in learning new skills, it’s entirely up to you.
We welcome you onboard and are sure you will leave full of memories as well as enrich our own cruising experience along the way, sharing with friends.
