One man and his dog

The Tall ship is the HMB Endeavour. It's a replica of the original Endeavour and is normally moored in the National Maritime Museum in Sydney. It sailed up from Sydney arriving last Friday. It has been open to the public over the weekend and it looked like it was again today. On Wednesday it sails to Port Stephens and then back to Sydney. If you want the experience, you can pay AU$1,375 for the five day trip. You will be up the mainmast and scrubbing the decks at that price. For $2,475 you can lounge in the Great cabin, have one of the 4 Gentlemen's cabins to yourself and helping out perhaps if the mood takes you. If you would like to know a bit more about the ship, see here

This chap was fishing on the wharf with his dog. It all had a rather sombre feel to it tonight.

And finally, thanks so much for the lovely response to yesterdays. I am dreadfully behind in comments so a collective thanks for now.
