5:00pm, Tue 13 May 2008 :  Is it winter yet?
With Lisa, Eli, Kristin, Kay and Arterium, we set sail...

The first 24 hours of weather was a bit ordinary, but by night 2, we were parked up in Hill Inlet. We awoke to the most spectacular sunrise.

In a complete day, we shunted down to Whitehaven Beach, swam, snorkelled, played on the beach before heading over to Cateran Bay for some snorkelling in that wonderful place in perfect conditions.

All just in time to sail home, doing 10+ knots across the passage.

Got to love it.

Quote from Ghandi
I do not want my house to be walled in on all sides and my windows to be stuffed. I want the culture of all lands to be blown about my house as freely as possible.

Pretty much my life... and I love it.

Next G Coverage
Telstra Next G coverage continues to impress. Using my Tu500 handset, I have been able to get on the net at high speed at various places. The latency of the network also seems very low when I get on. Very nice.

John speaks about Telstra Next G

Says it all : "Sailing" by Christopher Cross
It's not far down to paradise
At least it's not for me
And if the wind is right you can sail away
And find tranquility
The canvas can do miracles
Just you wait and see
Believe me

It's not far to never never land
No reason to pretend
And if the wind is right you can find the joy
Of innocence again
The canvas can do miracles
Just you wait and see
Believe me

Sailing
Takes me away
To where I've always heard it could be
Just a dream and the wind to carry me
And soon I will be free

Fantasy
It gets the best of me
When I'm sailing
All caught up in the reverie
Every word is a symphony
Won't you believe me

It's not far back to sanity
At least it's not for me
And when the wind is right you can sail away
And find serenity
The canvas can do miracles
Just you wait and see
Believe me
