If you manage to get on this boat with Skipper Lawrie,. Consider yourself super super lucky as I have been on a few crew Bay Boats and Lawrie is the best I’ve crewed with yet. He is super calm relaxed and just normal. Very hard to find compatible people living on a boat. This fella is super flexible, friendly and safe. Thank you very very very much Lawrie for the awesome experience aboard your immaculate la Paloma. We salute you. I would vouch for this guy any and every day!

Catch him if you can!
You won't find a more chilled but attentive & safety conscious skipper than Lawrie. La Paloma is beautifully specified & kept in immaculate condition, including the super-cool tv that appears / stashes itself beneath the nav-station on Lawrie's command - I watched all those youtube sailing channels that I feel guilty about watching at home! Skipper Lawrie had the pleasure of my company (?) from Horn Island to Darwin - around 2 ½ weeks / 750nm, with 4 ½ night passages & a bit of motoring when the winds disappeared. After Gove harbour there's no further provisioning options before Darwin, so you can only imagine how frustrated Lawrie must have felt when I left one of the supermarket bags in the supermarket (which is a $50 taxi ride away!). Brilliant (near) 3 weeks on the boat, and most of that is down to the skipper - many thanks, Lawrie and good luck with your future sailing endeavours. Chris
