I am waiting for the sailor to arrive. Looking out across the channel, across the turquoise blue waters of the Whitsunday Islands in hope that soon I will see the familiar sight of the mast of our boat gliding through the blue sky. I see him standing, big, strong hands on the helm, a smile on his face, his cap slightly crooked covering his dark piercing eyes, watching, looking, steering his course........
I arrived two days ago to relax and clear my mind, put my head into race mode. I have been watching the weather, watching the big southerly working it's way up the coast. I am anxious for the boat to arrive, to strip her down, tighten every shackle and pin, polish her hull and make her proud.
The sailor and I are very passionate about our sailing and this race regatta is very special to us, we met here, in 2004.

ReplyDeleteSounds wonderful! Hope the race went well. I've been to the whitsundays exactly once - but it's a trip that I treasure the memories of (it was my first real holiday alone with my hubby) Enjoy your time up there.
