Saturday evening at the Darwin Sailing Club

Saturday evening was a pleasant evening at the Darwin Sailing Club with Jayshree and Peter, as well as an American couple, the Rooneys.

The Rooney family, Beth and Joe and five children, are around the world sailors, on a 51 ft steel yacht "Leprechaun". They were telling us about their voyage so far. They are about two years into a 4 year around the world cruise. It was a good evening as Jayshree and Peter have also spent a lot of years in the Pacific and were sharing stories.

Saturday morning trip to Fogg Dam

Saturday morning I drove out to Fogg Dam. The water has all but receeded, but there were still hundreds of birds, especially magpie geese, ducks, egrets, and ibis.
