I'm getting the impression that the creative cat was a bit obscure for some folks, so here are a few more pics to let you know that life at Marshmead is a beautiful thing (and not just weird).
Last term Roland and I spent a few of our days off sailing around the Mallacoota Inlet in our 18ft yacht. Sometimes we needed to lower the sails and use the little motor due to a lack of wind or to travel against it.
Sailing into the Narrows as the sun lowered.
Travelling under sail is wonderfully quiet, but even with the little motor putting along, it is still a relaxing way to travel.
The Narrows straight ahead.
Sun rise on the lake is always amazing.
Sunrise at Allens Head
And even when there is no spectacular sun, the stillness of the morning is worth getting out of the sleeping bag for.

And at the end of our adventures, we return to where the fast boats live. Once the Courtesan (that's the name of the boat) is unloaded, we paddle and pull it around the corner to live in the creek until next time.

kell, the photos of the boat and sunset etc are beautiful. Oh how quickly the boat has become "ours" rather than "Roland's" it's started....
Beautiful photos.
Just for the record, Roland has been refering to the boat as 'ours' for quite some time. That being the case, I still asked him if I too could refer to it as 'ours' on the blog before I wrote it and he said, 'of course!'. Lucky really, considering how fond I am of the little boat!
