Sirocco is back home, complete with shiny new davits and Freddie hanging off them. The whole system was given a good work out last weekend when we sailed to Stark Bay, Rottnest Island with others from Cruising in Company.
It was my turn to co-ordinate the cruise this time, and I kept everyone on their toes with puzzles to do on the way, a sandsculpting competition on the beach prior to the sundowner, and an early morning dinghy based scavenger hunt before leaving to return to Hillarys!
All most enjoyable, but perhaps the highlight for me was seeing a whale on the trip home - admittedly it was a way off, but the shape of the tail was clearly visible on the horizon and the huge splash of water as it breached, unmistakable. Sadly, by the time I got to my camera, it was all over.
Here is a picture of Sirocco and friends moored at Stark, and one of the group enjoying a BBQ on Saturday evening.
