The perfect place for a picnic? Picnic Bay of course! Just another one of Magnetic Island's pristine beaches with dazzling views over the turquoise waters of Cleveland Bay.
People are often surprised when you say you live on a boat. It was always Warwick's dream that one day he would live on a boat, last year the stars aligned and his dream came true. Who said you had to live in a house? I compare our boat to a small, floating apartment but with some added perks.
Meet Deckie, Pat’s furry best friend. Deckie lives on board Kathleen II with Pat, she makes a great deckhand and companion but I think she is the captain of the ship more than the deckie. Deckie is much loved by the Breakwater Marina community and is often found strutting her stuff on F pier checking out the comings and goings.
Sometimes, (a lot of the time) it feels like we live to work! What kind of a life is that? I want a jobby! What’s a jobby you ask? A job that’s your hobby! As the old saying goes “do something you love and you’ll never work a day in your life.”- Confucius

We woke at 4am this morning to a powerful crack, followed by rumbling thunder! Lightning was lighting up the sky at the marina. A petrified dog and scared child scrambled into our bed (I do miss our super-king bed at times like these!) Sleep wasn't coming anytime soon, so we got up and watched natures powerful show.
