Seb is back in town after several years in tropical climates. But only for a few days before he hits the high seas. Having succeeded in scoring a job on a superyacht. Although the vessel is at the smaller end of what is classified as a superyacht, so don’t expect him to make an appearancesContinue reading “Gearing up”

Fire and ice
Another weekend of trying to dodge the weather led to a quick Saturday morning out while Lisa was hoping to bob in the ocean, if it was not too rough. Unfortunately being the one of the two days no one was free to join, I contemplated my options. The forecast for Collie, near Welly Dam,Continue reading “Fire and ice”
Close encounters of the feathered kind
A few weeks back I mentioned an unearthly being that I hoped would still be about on my next trip out this way. One I first sighted with Josh. Today as Rongy and I headed out in darkness, I remembered to keep an eye out. And there he still was. Marvin the Martian. Although hisContinue reading “Close encounters of the feathered kind”
Johnny Nash
Much as it may seem that I am always out and about. The vast majority of my awake time is sat in front of a computer, if not at work then at home researching my finds and writing them up. In both screen focused situations I am a shocker for getting stuck into it. SatContinue reading “Johnny Nash”
Timing is everything
Arriving in Busselton for a meeting on Thursday morning the town was clad in a blanket of fog. The drive down seemed a little eerie with visibility at times down to less than thirty meters. Pea soup sprung to mind. It was all the talk on arrival at my location, a wondrous and strange morningContinue reading “Timing is everything”
Alexander’s band
Another hit and miss weekend, and it all boils down to whether you believe it or not. Unless you get out there, you’ll have no idea of what you may be missing. With a positive attitude I stepped out of the house. The sky above was clear and speckled with stars, with who knows whatContinue reading “Alexander’s band”
Subtleties
Some will say it is not my strongest suit. Admittedly I do have a general tendency to call a spade and spade that, as time rolls on, I find more and more people struggle to deal with. The term comes from the Latin word subtīlis, meaning finely woven, thin, or delicate. It was adopted intoContinue reading “Subtleties”
Too many unknowns
A 1927 film titled The Unknown was almost lost forever, but was restored several years back. Considered one of the premier works of the silent film era. A period that commenced approx. 35 years before it started to wane, when technology enabled sound to be incorporated. An ability that crept into the scene in sameContinue reading “Too many unknowns”
Autumn blues
Having reached halfway through autumn, a few noticeable differences are creeping into our early morning starts. The nights are cooling off, which means the rock during the first few lines can make the fingers feel a bit tingly. This is due to the rock having radiated out more of the heat it had captured theContinue reading “Autumn blues”
Regretting your choices
A thought came to mind after climbing at Smiths Beach yesterday, of reversing the situation from several weeks back. Climbing two days on the trot, but this time hitting Welly Dam on the second day. It is a bit cheeky for Howsie to head out on consecutive mornings, as it takes him away from hisContinue reading “Regretting your choices”
