And to complete the pi...

Freo Today. 16 February 2025. Another beautiful day around Freo. The Derbarl Yerrigan sparkling in the sun. Days like this attract Adventurers, the odd lone Adventurer, and the occasional Misadventure.

The super natty Silver Nova is in Freo for the day!

It’s the Nova Way to travel. Silver Nova arrived in Fremantle this morning on her maiden visit. She didn’t explode like a Super Nova and fade away, just glided elegantly into Port showing off her unique asymmetrical design.

Coral Adventurer. In Freo just for the day!

As the first light of dawn broke this morning, Coral Adventurer was nowhere in sight. But I waited and eventually the small, cute, 120 guest-max cruise ship slipped through North and South Moles around 7 am.

Who is Joe, where is he, and why isn’t he doing something about this?

Freo Today. 15 February 2025. It doesn’t seem to matter how hard Bon Scott sings his heart out, or how often, Joe’s Fish Shack on Freo’s popular Fishing Boat Harbour just gets more and more derelict by the year. Which gets one wondering: Who is Joe, where is he, and why isn’t he doing someth...

Dominoes?

With Zelia bearing down on Port Hedland all the usual ships visiting or scheduled to visit Port Hedland have skedaddled! The red ones are tankers, the green ones cargo vessels.
