Night vision



With nothing in the house and high tide outside our window, we went out for thai last night. This involved a 15 minute boat trip to the end of the creek and then across Pittwater to Bayview, where we borrowed a friend's mooring. As we turned the corner, our journey became interesting. The evening sun was fading and the landscape around pittwater was alive with an electric storm. Aside from fear of being in a little metal boat, we marvelled at its beauty and commented that somebody would be taking photos of it.... And here, thanks to Uge, are they.

Our first trip back in the dark, extroadinarily, we managed to remember the light signals to avoid crashes and courtesy on the water. M also managed to navigate our shallow creek with no lights so we're almost professional. Not in every case though - I picked up the 16' trailer this morning from the shop, and whilst I managed to get it home without incident - the broken fence is a dead giveaway that my 3 point turn with trailer needs a bit of practice!
