FROM 2013 & 2014 Logs

One of the fixes – well, maybe two…

The standing rigging (all the wires that hold the mast up) is getting close to its use-by date so this morning I took the boat around to White Bay and we lifted the mast. The photos are self explanatory except for the flags on the bridge – on the left is the Aboriginal flag, flying with the Australian flag. Today, Australia’s Indigenous Peoples were officially recognised as Australia’s first inhabitants by an Act of Parliament. This paves the way for a referendum to include similar recognition in the Constitution. The tricky bit will be the wording for the Constitution. But it’s a great start. http://www.abc.net.au/news/2013-02-13/politicians-unite-on-indigenous-recognition-vote/4516238?WT.svl=news0 At last!
