... to those that get up early. Well, around 9am or so, anyway.
Helen whisked us away to Manly Docks yesterday to hop aboard a SeaCat sailing boat for a day on the water. We packed coolers of beer, sausages, steak and prawns and our 'swimmers' and towels and took advantage of all that Sydney Harbour has to offer at this time of year. We pulled up at a nice, secluded bay and spent some time swimming, jumping from the boat and pier and enjoying the barbecue.
One the way back we chilled out at the front of the boat with Michelle keeping her eye out for the big waves that were likely to douse us in the cold water. We were in fits of giggles after Chuck was virtually submerged under the water as the front of the boat crashed back down into the water.
And finally, as we were pulling back into the dock in Manly again at the end of the day, we spotted a 4 foot wide Stingray swimming beneath the boat. I promptly leapt off the back of the boat, grabbed onto it's wings and rode it's back clear across the harbour and back before wrestling it into submission and claiming it as my own catch for the day.
OK, so that may not be 100% true but what is is that Nick brought his friend Kate from Putney along for the day also. More pictures of the day out can be found on the flikr site.

Nick's friend or "friend?!"
I have just spotted the 'friend' thing too - funny! (I'm sooo bored at work I have had to resort to reading Craig's old blogs!) I think after 11 months you could even go so far as to say 'girlfriend' :-)
