A large Police Boat was in the shipyard the other day - being prepared for shipping overseas.   Someone said it had been sold - and was going to England.  It came up out of the water - had the usual steel shipping cradle strapped under it - and was lowered back in - for it to go across to Port Botany and be loaded on a ship.   It was placed on a nearby mooring overnight.

 

The comment was made - 'just look what our State Government is doing - selling off one of our Police Boats'.   Well, I don't know the truth of it, or otherwise - and I went on-line searching but could find nothing about it.   So who can say if the government is doing right or wrong - but this big Police Boat looked in pretty good condition - and has definitely been shipped out - it was gone the next morning over to the Terminal.

 

 

That's the Cronulla Sharks Leagues Club and Ground in the background.

 

                             

 

Back on board the yacht - it's a never ending round of responsibilities

for the most feared yachtdog in the Bay.

 

When not surveying her domain from the comfort of her cushions

and the safety of the closed cockpit screens

she sallies forth in quest of adventure from the cabin to the foredeck.

 

Apparently, according to Penny

one of the biggest threats to our peace and safety is 

low flying pelicans - sometimes in formation - going past the yacht.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

                       

 

You'll no doubt be surprised to learn - that we've had some calm days

as well as some windy ones - and there have been a few days and evenings

of reflected beauty across the bay.

 

 

 

And then only this evening we were once again presented with the glory of a setting sun.

 

 

 

 

This photo that you see here - has not been enhanced in any way

there was little I could do to improve it.

The colours are just as the camera captured them.

 

 

 

This is the current time aboard the yacht.

 

All Penny knows - as she watches me patiently from the sofa

is that it's dark outside - and getting colder

and time to get tucked up in a warm bed for the night.

 

Bye for now
