'Houses are but badly built boats so firmly aground that you cannot think of moving them. They are definitely inferior things, belonging to the vegetable not the animal world, rooted and stationary, incapable of gay transition. The desire to build a house is the tired wish of man content thenceforward with a single anchorage. The desire to build a boat is the desire of youth, unwilling yet to accept the idea of a final resting-place'. - Arthur Ransome

'For the truth is that I already know as much about my fate as I need to know. The day will come when I will die. So the only matter of consequence before me is what I will do with my allotted time. I can remain on shore, paralysed with fear, or I can raise my sails and dip and soar in the breeze.'

- This is an intermittent collection of our musings as we cruise from our home port of Port Franklin to Broome.
I remember back in 1986 when we were their in Shearwater when they had to use a rifle to shoot a large thrasher shark.
ReplyDeleteGood grief, what a memory.
ReplyDeleteWookie, I remember that too! It was such an amazing incident to witness. I remember getting back in the leaky dingy and gazing into the depths.
