Yesterday was Australia Day and one of our harbor residents, Peter Barker , who hails from the Land-Down-Under celebrated by "dressing" his sailboat, Bowtie Lady, with brightly colored banners & making huge signs that said "G-day!" Both signs and boat were then strategically placed at the seawall to be viewed by the marina webcam and hence, Peter's friends & family back in Australia. He even decorated the pump-out boat with one of his messages to home. Peter is a great guy to talk to with his aussie accent and quaint phrasings such as "Good on ya" when you've completed a task or his polite "G'day, Madam" as he greets you in passing. His colorful display brightened the day and put a smile on everyone's face.
Happy Australia Day!
And speaking of Australian's...
If you haven't checked out the blog of 16-year old Australian, Jessica Watson, who plans to be the youngest person to solo-handedly sail around the world then you should! G'day.

This 'younger' lady just started out. Looks like she is about 6 months younger than Jessica!
