Rottnest trip

Description of the photos:
  1. Yours truly in front of the yacht I travelled on and a cargo ship in the background.
  2. Ship's captain Peter, also a budding singer-songwriter.
  3. The beach near where we landed.
  4. A rather ferocious looking Quokka.
  5. Peter's yacht, Miss Gemma.
  6. A cargo ship.
  7. The coast again.
I went with a few people from work, including Peter for whom I directly work. He owns a yacht and sailed us to the island. We arrived in Thomson Bay in the north east shore. We stayed in old army barracks, where I photographed the quokka. I didn't see much of the island, maybe next time. But I survived my first sailing trip, despite seasickness and my inability to row and swim. (I was stuffed after foolishly swimming from the shore to the boat). But whatever doesn't kill you can only make you stronger, no?
