As I was doing the Flash of Red challenge during February I couldn't post photos of some of the things I did during the month, so here is a collage of what we did on the 7 February.
We had a lovely afternoon and evening sailing around the bay on the catamaran you see in the picture. The occasion was for our friend Chris, it was his 70th birthday. You can see Chris in the top left picture and the bottom right picture.
There were about 24 of us celebrating his birthday and the day couldn't have been better. Perfect weather, perfect company and perfect food, who could ask for more.
The bottom left picture is of David on the left and a friend Mary, myself in the centre of the ladies and Judy on the right. As you can see David was the only one with a haircut suitable for being out on the ocean as the rest of us ladies look rather windswept.
A fab collage and a great way to celebrate. Yearning to be able to be this close to this many friends at once again. Glorious to be out at sea and I had to laugh at the hair thing!
Lovely collage each image beautifully captured Babs, brings back our Whale watching trip with champagne from Nelson Bay on a catamaran posibbly this very one:)
Lovely set of photos to memorise the event. Happy birthday to the birthday boy. The picture of the catamaran in the golden light of the late afternoon is my favourite.
@cwbill We haven't had any community based Covid cases in Australia for some time and the only cases we have had are from people who have arrived from overseas and are in hotel quarantine. Everyone who arrives in Australia from overseas has to spend two weeks quarantine in a hotel and that is what has saved us from the severe situation that other countries are experiencing. Plus as soon as there have been community cases in the past we have locked down immediately. We also have to use a QR code on our phones whenever we go to community places so they can keep track on where we are and if any cases do occur we are told immediately and have to isolate.
We are so pleased to be able to meet up with friends again. We are fortunate in Australia to have so few Covid cases at the moment.
@pcoulson Probably was the one you went on. Our two main whale and dolphin watch boats are the Moonshadow and this one the Imagine.
Chris chartered the boat for 5 hours and it was a lovely day.
@maggiemae It holds up to 60 people and Chris chartered the boat for the afternoon and evening for his birthday celebration.
@johnfalconer Ha ha I guess so. I cut David's hair from when we first got married and all through his Air Force days but handed over to Just Cuts about 10 years ago now
@pcoulson Small world indeed. What year were you in Nelson Bay. I am sure we would have been living here then, we have lived in the bay for 24 years although David has been here longer as he was at RAAF Williamtown since 1994
