A day with the sea

Today at 8:15 in the morning, I had my last exam for the semester. To celebrate, I took the little black cocky chick "Alamo" and went to the beach! I had a bit of sushi for lunch and then it was time to relax under the palms...



                                                              Alamo loves the sun!





Makes me want to go island hopping.

After that it was time for a refreshing cocktail at C bar overlooking Magnetic Island. The water is crystal clear with a pretty low tide, sunny with a gentle breeze in the 70s...perfect.

With all of this nice weather I figured, why not go sailing?

So that's what I did! If you catch somebody at the Yacht
Club on Wednesday around five you can hitch a ride on a sailboat and race the regatta!


 As the sunset dances across the horizon we pass another boat!

                                                                                                                                                                                                                            As night approaches the first star is visible, like we are sailing into the stars!

As we make the final turn and head back to Townsville the city alight welcomes us with it's familiar hills and most notably Castle Hill which is illuminated and glows orange.

Not a bad way to end the semester eh?

  1. So scenic and beautiful. And your buddy Alamo just rests on your arm/shoulder while all of this excitement is going on? Or do you have a little set up to keep him attached to you?
