Swimming off the back

Another perfect day, sailing almost to the Freo shipping lanes, then heading back and dropping the pick by North Beach for lunch and, for the first time, a swim off the platform (got a ladder, a shower and everything!)Took the opportunity to take some artistic shots whilst underway.John, Jill and Derrick came with us this time - I think everyone agreed it was a great day, and I do believe Derrick thoroughly enjoyed his first ever sail!Mike and I are planning an overnighter to Rottnest this week, now that we have fixed the lack of speed indication issue we had - the little spindlything that lives underneath had its paddles clogged - luckily it is reached via a plughole under the V-berth, so no-one needed to dive into the murky harbour water to fix it. By the way, we actually do have ducks in the marina, despite the assumption that they are freshwater birds - ours are obviously mutants as they definately are swimming in salt water. Speaking of ducks, to 'anon' who left such a witty comment, be very careful, it begins with just one, but left to their own devices they breed, you know. You'll open your bathroom door one morning to find it packed with plastic ducks, feral ones, no doubt, so watch your ankles.To the many visitors who have looked at then signed our guestbook (well, ONE actually, thanks Larry!)
