Saturday
14th April
A day of leisure…neither Pete nor I have
had such a thing for many months. He has
been racing up the coast on 2XS for the past few weeks, and prior to this was
as busy as a bee in a bottle getting both his life and his boat organised.
This morning we left Woodwark Bay at a
civilised hour and got to a beautiful anchorage in Gloucester Passage at an
equally civilised hour ie in time for lunch.
And there to greet us, soaring overhead, was a lone white-bellied sea
eagle.
Perfect!
I went for a very quick swim and enjoyed
it very much. Not a stinger nor a
crocodile to be seen or felt! We did ask
a man bobbing around in a small fishing boat, and he said that the stingers
would probably have been discouraged by the recent rain. Or words to that effect…I couldn’t really
hear him very well, but I was confident enough to get in the sparkly warm blue
water. For a quick dip…
Pete very much enjoyed his weeks with
Rachel and James. The three of them were
a great team. I got a text from Rachel
this morning…she said she was in bed with the newspapers but that – oh indeed –
she would rather be sailing.
