I also took heaps of photos around the wharves and Hunter Street to use in a later post.

Wow - cray pots are very intricate. Yes, my sister-in-law did a Young Endeavour trip and loved it. Feel free to stop by again - I'm now following your gorgeous blog.

I love the fact that you could make your own little boats, and out of such great timbers too! I was only talking about crayfish post the other day, my dad used to make them as a young guy in Stanley, must see if he can still make one for us to cherish, and my aunty did one of the Young Endeavour crew trips too, must ask her about it again now I'm older. Thanks for the memories! :)Allanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12745067753379692674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3257012568697296973.post-55761711290417799732011-02-21T21:02:52.321+11:002011-02-21T21:02:52.321+11:00Ah, I hadn't realised how many of you lovely P...Ah, I hadn't realised how many of you lovely Planetarians have salt water in your veins!

The idea of being on rough high seas scares me a little. Think I'd rather stick to canals in a houseboat in Europe. <br />Tasmania is just so pretty.Raine and Sagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09890862541890241422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3257012568697296973.post-4309286229128746042011-02-20T10:03:20.195+11:002011-02-20T10:03:20.195+11:00Enjoying?

Anything at all to do ...Enjoying? I am mad for it!<br /><br />Anything at all to do with boats and boating I am mad for. The bunting (natch), the ship-shape little cosy nooks, the salt air and sleek lines and weathered faces and ... oh my! I can even put up with boat shoes and jaunty caps to get my fill. <br /><br />Of course, I would have to get vividly sea sick at the merest hint that dry land has been left, but that doesn't stop me from frequenting marinas, wharfs and piers like a woman possessed. What a day you would have had!!!Maxabellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15761220164069379437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3257012568697296973.post-87549547622173151902011-02-20T08:50:14.902+11:002011-02-20T08:50:14.902+11:00It was a good event, wasn't it?
