Pigs, Griffins, Farms, Coast, Segues and Boats....

5th Jan: Siena One Village Owner's Committee (VOC) has a roast pig to
celebrate the beginning of our refurbishment project. It's part of Chinese
Feng Shui, needed at the beginning of every project in this part of the world

Alison Dack, the VOC Chair, cuts the pig.  Alison was first Chair in 2002,
then it was me (05-10), and now it's Alison again.  The pork was yummm.

7th Jan at Banyandah, looking wonderful (all)

9th Jan: lovely gum (and beautiful people) on the cliff walk,
behind Annette's Parade, Mossy Point

10th Jan: PF showing top skills on the Segue ride, near Commonwealth Park

13th Jan: The Tilley Friday Crowd: David Edmunds on left, Padge on right
and Mark Thomas 2nd behind Padge. Others TBA.

17th Jan: back at the Royal Hong Kong Yacht Club to check out Xena,
come across Gilvin and his brother (we'd tried unsuccessfully to have Gilvin
as Xena's boat manager).  This is 115-year old Vandistad-designed ketch, Rona.

Gilvin on the stern of Rona. I'm just about to head out
for a sail on her, today.
