'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.'

Windy Still

We are still in Yeppoon and yes it is still windy. Today we visited the city of Rockhampton and checked it out.With our Seniors card we had change from $10 for the 2 of us for our bus in and out.We have met some lovely people while here at the Marina and have caught up with some jobs that need doing on Kiella.We spoke to a 30 meter large power overseas boat that came in 2 days ago and they had waves up to 5 meters and some 6 , so we are staying put.The weather looks like we may be able to leave Sunday, fingers crossed, as the seas will take awhile to abate to make our voyage more comfortable.The negative part is that the coffee shops and hot chocolates are not good for our figures every day ......but boy are they good.
