Darwin does get some ripper sunsets - and V formation Magpie Geese to boot.

Near home in Fannie Bay and where we keep Shanghaied over the wet up on the hard a lagoon that only floods on tides above about 7 meters, the waders collect in thousands. We helped count these waders as part of an Australia wide bird count run by Birds Australia. We generally counted when they were standing - bit hard when they are like the pic.

On the way back home across the Gulf after departing Fat Albert and meeting John and Inara on Desiree, we saw this guy just meandering along the surface.

We caught up with Mike and Jill on board Fat Albert and took advantage of their spare king size bed for a few nights. We sailed from American River to Bay of Shoals and picked up some moorings and explored Kingscote and surrounds. The honey shop had fantastic honey ice cream and we had animated discussions about pelicans with Indiana James in the winery grounds just up the hill.

Racing off Island Beach we did pretty well; would have done better in the big boat, but nothing broke and I loved the light feel of Raptor on the tiller as she skimmed across the bay in light air.
We enjoyed our week on KI: a rock band played in the New Year at The Shed, and after this race there were really good sausages at the barbie on the beach. The sea was cold and deep and clear; and swimmable, just as it should be. Not hot, murky, and hiding multiple dangers, as are the seas of the Top End
