Mallacoota has a natural bar through the sand dunes and occasionally, at times of drought, is closes and the lake system becomes land locked. Catherine and I were keen to sail north and were not going to let 100 metres of sand get in the way of a cruise. I had a locum arranged so when it was time to go I made an announcment on the community radio for some muscle, borrowed the co-op tractor, slung some corrugated iron under the hulls, removed the rudders and we dragged and pushed her over the dunes.
