'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

Yamba today

What a great run we had today from Southport, and now we are safely anchored after Ian took us over the bar. Kiella hit 17.8 kts at one stage, pretty exciting it was looking from inside down stairs as Ian was up top.Tomorrow we are planning to make Camden Haven after a 140nm. run.....big day.
