A Blaze of Colour

After the Jacaranda's have flowered in purple triumph, it's time for a fiery-red display.  The heat of Summer at it's spectacular best for the land-locked to admire.  January 2022

Catching the Night Light

A beautiful evening in early January 2020.  Looking down river towards Broken Bay and Cowan Creek.  Little did we know what was in store for us then....

Sailing Greats

Gibraltar 2016: At La Linea Marina - a discovery...

La Linea Marina

I had hoped this was the original "Joshua" (Moitessier).  It's not, but still a heart beating reminder of an inspirational sailor and boyhood hero. 

Then, more excitement in the Cape Verde Islands 2017:

Imagine a chance meeting at Mindelo Marina with sailing legend, Jimmy Cornell - such an inspiration!  We were docked at Mindelo Marina, at the time as his "Caribbean Odyssey" participants all sailed in.

Remembering Venice

Venice 2015

In Venice, you could queue up for ages to see Saint Mark's Basilica or better still, just potter about to see what what might be interesting or quirky.

And to remind yourself of the beauty within St Marks you missed as you did the conga line quick step through with many, many others, take this guided tour on-line of Saint Mark's Basilica with Khan Academy.  TOO Easy!

Two Views of Cape Verdes

I couldn't stop taking photos when we took a day tour of Santo Antao.  Yes, we really did sail to the Cape Verdes and stopped for a few days in Mindelo Harbour on Sao Vicente, just across from Santo Antao.  All in all, exciting stuff!
