With the sun sinking in the West, another Couchsurfing trips nears the end with my new friends Randy and Shazza from Eastern Canada. With the winds mostly in the North during the their time here, we were able to sneak some snorkelling at False Nara, then slip around to Hill Inlet. We then anchored in the small bay inside solway passage for some hooker diving. (bring your own hooker is the best way).
We then had a night at Turtle bay, which was awesome in the Northerly conditions.
After a day back in shore to restock, it was calculated that their trip was not complete, so we wandered back to islands. This time it was Black island, overnighting at Stonehaven, the snorkel Luncheon Bay and Mantaray. I was over the side again this time with the PowerDive hooker system sinking easily to the depths while tethered to the dinghy by the air line. It was beautiful and a whole new way of checking out this perfect place.
The probable highlight was hanging out with a turtle at Black island who seemed unmoved by our hovering near by.
Beautiful trip, great weather and wonderful new friends from the Northern hemisphere.
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.

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.

beds and a great way to meet people and
emerse yourself in the local culture. I offer accommodation on my sailing catamaran through this great web site:
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
