'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.'
-Richard Bode

Waiting for a break

Kiella enjoyed Xmas at Lake Macquarie while we have had a wonderful time with our family in Victoria. Weather permitting, always, we will head north in the New Year and bring her back to Port Franklin . The season this year is really odd so we will have to chose our timing well. More on our trip when we have her back safe in Victorian waters.
