The wind continued light and, for the most part, consistent from the east sou' east overnight, the seas were flat so we, namely John, RC and I, all enjoyed a very pleasant sail and arrived off Kingscote just after sunrise. A final tack in the fading air had us closing the quiet summer resort town, and at 10.40 we started the engine and motored the last two miles to the small pontoon berth in a flat calm.

Once satisfied that the image he was perceiving was not in fact an optical illusion he stood looking at me as if to say, “What have you done to the world?”. But being a cat he has of course adjusted quickly to the new situation and is now snoozing in the companionway.

All is well.

RC, “What have you done?”
