Maatsuyker Group of Islands, Tasmania

Where wild winds blow

The remote outpost of Maatsuyker Island, 10 miles offshore from the wild south coast of Tasmania, was what Mary and David Nicholson called home for a period of six months.  These two are yachtie friends of ours and David built our previous catamaran, Medina; so we have followed their amazing endeavour with great interest. 

Impressions of light and colour

We are in France for three weeks, visiting Chris’ s family.  Although this post does not have a nautical theme, we thought it would be remiss of us not to share the brilliant day we spent at Giverny, exploring the spectacular gardens of French Impressionist Claude Monet.
