I'm getting lazy.
Australia has some of the planet's most deadly
wildlife: Black snakes, great white sharks, stone fish, jelly fish,
etc., and a nasty spider called a Funnel Web. Here in Bermagui the Funnel Webs don't bite. They're just too damn lazy.
There are, of course, more benign types: kangaroos, wallabies, Rozellas,
etc.
Alan Ray was kind enough to wrangle up a few kangaroos for me. We
walked down into the paddock where Alan shouted, "All right you
kangaroos. Time to get up." Right on cue 2 Big Grays hoped out of the
bush, did their tourist posing act, then hopped right back to the bush.
They've been telling me that dolphins play in the surf
below the hill, but so far there have been no sightings. Alan assures
me that I should look for them in the sea, and not in the paddock.
Now making plans to visit with Danie and Mark Georgelin, who took me in when I jumped ship in Micronesia. They live some 5 bus-hours from Bermagui
in the Australian capital, Canberra. From there I hope to fly to
Hamilton Island in the Whitsundays for a week or so of even more
R&R. Looks like my sailing adventures will be reduced to hourly
expeditions on small catamarans. At least I won't have to stand the dog
watch.
I can't post pictures of Bermagui because I forgot to pack a cable or card reader for my camera. Details, details.
More details as they coalesce...

I'm loving your posts! Your trip sounds great even though it may not include as much sailing as you hoped. Kangaroos! So cool :-)
