Wednesday Wanderings



Today I have chosen several photos snapped on our sailing trip last week around the Whitsunday Islands.
Luckily we experienced glorious weather and fairly calm conditions. 
I hope you enjoy these images. 








 Bat fish


 Whitehaven Beach








Three wild goats out for a midday stroll


 Just hanging around





 Hamilton Island 


 Mode of transport is golf buggies. Cute


 We moored at Hamilton mariner for a night 




All very tropical and lovely and special don't you agree?

I am blessed to live in a beautiful part of the world.

Reality Bites



Last week I was dangling my tooties over the side of a sail boat, gazing at sublime aqua hues. 

Bliss..




Now I am home and instead of daydreaming while cruising the Whitsunday Islands, I am busy watching this go round and round as it churns through a mountain of washing.

Blah..




Back to reality!

Wednesday Wanderings



Would you like to be transported to this beautiful location? 
Langford Island is situated opposite Hayman Island in the Whitsundays North Queensland. 
One glorious day during a sailing trip around the Whitsundays a couple of years ago, the members of our sailing crew went for a leisurely amble along this beach and a refreshing dip in the ocean.




Mr red roses and I are packing our bags to venture north to take to the seas and sail around the islands once again. Sea air, salt water and the wind in my hair is the purest tonic.

Packing for a sailing trip is dead easy. Shorts, T-shirts, hat, togs, beach towel, a book and not much else. No make-up or hair dryer for a week and truly bad hair is normal.

Bliss.




If I could live blog from the boat I would but power supply is precious and internet connection less than reliable so I shall share photos upon my return.
You may have noticed on my sidebar the new addition of Instagram photos. Sharing photos on Twitter is a pleasurable pastime of mine and today my son helped me add this feature to the blog. I hope you enjoy my snaps of life displayed over there. He also updated other technology gizmos for me and so tonight as I write this post my brain is spinning and is suffering overload!

This time last year if you had told me I would be writing a blog, tweeting and even using an iPhone I would have shouted 'No way Jose'! But there you have it....never too old to learn.

Be good.

Chasing rainbows




Almost a year has passed since our last sailing adventure in Far North Queensland.
Sigh....









If you were granted a wish to transport yourself any where in the world, right this minute, where oh where would your destination be?
