We've been at sea so long, that Ever now speaks WHALE.
Its a humpback dialect I believe, but it's whale none the less.
I big shout out to that DVD for that, it keeps us in STITCHES laughing, and we are answering her back in Whale.
It works.

We had a big sail yesterday out of Bowen (Didja know that the film AUSTRALIA was filmed in Bowen? Well didja?) Us neither until a wee venture to the Information Booth of activities (aka only play by the park to buy an ice cream), and there it is in Big Old Visit Bowen and Take a Picture Here letters.
So now you know.

Back to the sail, it was big, long, and long. The weather had forcasted 20-25 knots of wind, and minimal swell, so we thought 'Here's our chance- lets go!'
Well, well, well, it was more like 5 knots of winds and no swell.
We puttered along for 8 hours up to Shark Bay. 8 hours.
ARE WE THERE YET?
DEAR GAWD! ARE WE THERE YET?
No.
Not even close.
I admit there are a PLETHORA of worse places to be, than on a sail boat cruising up the East coast of Australia, a PLETHORA.....shout out to my loved ones in Canada - 'How's that snow?' ' Pass the sunscreen'.
But it got a tad much yesterday, we were all in 'Im bored-you're bored-the earth is round-lets argue mode'.
So in order to keep a harmonious marriage (ever the complacent wife I am) - I made countless (23) cups of tea, and opened stash upon stash of chocolate cookie (Thank you Australia for the invention of Tim Tams and Chocolate Slice!)
On long, long sailing days, we eat. Alot.

Care packages most welcome.
