Corio Ships

 Rain has come in again after almost 30° yesterday.  Had the pleasure of going to the dentist again. I am still being warned to brush softly, use soft brushes, limit the strokes and mind the gums otherwise all the patchup jobs are holding.  There were big ships around yesterday. Most of the time they are cargo or bulk vessels but we had large passenger boats as well.  I can only read the Regent Line on the Chimney Stack but the bow name is there momentarily but a bit shaky so I could not read it.

Bombs Away

Nothing gets buy without being observed here. It might be a boat way out there or someone walking passed but you will be seen.  We have noticed some construction activity. Tugs tugging and barges barging. It turns out the navy jetty across the way is being upgraded and reopened for business after a $193 million dollar upgrade. It was closed in 2008 and all ordnance action moved to the top end.  We got the neighbours  here a while back and they had a photo of navy ships docked alongside there in 2005.  I would like to see that for myself. The upgrade will take another two years but after that they will be swabbing the decks over there me hearties.
