I’ll be honest, Miles and I were a bit
grumpy when it became clear that we weren’t going to make it to Vanuatu this
year, and that our only viable cruising option was to sail up the coast of Queensland. Queensland Schmeensland.
Now we feel a bit silly. The
Queensland coast is stunning, and an
unexpected pleasure has been stumbling upon the haunts of my past.
“I grew up here!” I’ll shout at the kids on
entering a new anchorage.
Eye roll. “Mum, you say that every place we go.”
It’s true, we moved around a lot.
Here’s a very bad picture of a stunning
place I spent a lot of time on as a child, that Jewel of the North,
Hinchinbrook Island.
I am thrilled to bits that you're seeing all those magical places again. with adult eyes.
ReplyDeletethinking about it: Liss, you were born in Cairns, in Calvery hospital, right on the sea front.
and you were first out in a boat (stink boat, I know) as a very new baby.
So: you were probably ALWAYS going to do this boatie thing, even though I didn't notice the fairy (with blessings? curses?) at your christening...
