MJ's little flock

[BY Bob]

It was an exciting adventure. One friend accidentally put herself in the drink and the other beached herself! The conditions weren't as good as last time. Lots of mozzies in the mangroves, a strong wind, choppy waters. It was tricky gping at some times, hard going at others, and sometimes easy going. I'll sleep well tonight.

This is the Garden Island boat ramp, where folks head off. You can see a few kayakers on the water already. The land across the water is Torrens Island, off limits to most folks because that's where the quarantine station is and a couple of power plants.

The waterway has lots of dolphins. We saw about a dozen.

My arms are like noodles from battling the current. So tired.

Looks like a wonderful adventure. I am so glad to find these when I wake up. Thanks for sharing. I bet those tired arms are the good kind of tired.

Good evening MJ and everyone

Wow, what an adventure you had and the ships very cool. Yes, I bet your sleeping great after all that workout. Thank you for sharing.

None whatsoever. Except for tranquil beauty and the joy of pouring your tea dregs over it.

It's pure art isn't it.

"egg dealer" makes it sounds like you are meeting a guy on the corner.

You got the stuff?

It's high quality, free range like you want. Gonna cost more.

Why should I pay more?

Free range is hard to get. You think I just pop these out myself.

Did you get the colors?

No white this time but I got extra green ones. You know they cost more too.

Let me see them.

Not here! People will see. Let's go into the alley.

These will do. What's the price? Fine, I'll pay. I'll reach out when I need more.

Give me a couple of days warning. I'm not just hanging around here waiting for you.

Reads like you've done a bit of that Bob.

Reads like you've done a bit of that Bob.

I will neither confirm nor deny.

Thank you Grammy! You too.

I'm off kayaking again. This time we're heading the other direction to see the ships graveyard.

Make sure you don't join it!

What can I tell you. The picture is from my elder sister. Mental health problems run in the family.

The big ship is quite interesting. It's called Santiago and was built in 1856 in Scotland. It's an iron hulled sailing barque and is thought to be the oldest in existence. It was added to the graveyard in 1945.

There seems to be quite a bit of that happening on these threads these days. Perhaps I should worry more for us all...?
