Bella Luna

Life aboard a catamaran – while trying to build a very small house with no money.

251/366 •...petals at @theportholecafe this afternoon ❤️...•
250/366 •...went for a row after dinner - it was a very low tide. It was all fun and games until the sandflies decided it was time to party on EVERY BIT OF EXPOSED SKIN...•
249/366 •...my shackmate and co-conspirator, tapping rocks while singing the @lisahmitchell song ‘Coin Laundry’ on the way through the eucalyptus trees...•
248/366 •...dots on a rock 🙌🏼...•
247/366 •...I brought Z to the shack and, after a singularly cutthroat game of Scrabble we went to the beach in order to capture some shots to send TD on his birthday today...•
246/366 •...sea...•
245/366 •...back to the sand - her hat matches up with the sign showing that seabirds nest in the vicinity...maybe oyster-catchers...•
244/366 •...it is possible I did too much yesterday, although it didn’t feel like it at the time. Today I’ve had a sore throat and the urge to nap and then nap some more. It took significant effort to throw myself into the very cold sea, but I did - and it felt good...•
243/366 •...the beach here was reminding me irresistibly of Wineglass Bay, until we walked around to the next cove...•
242/366 •...DB has been so happy having some one-on-one hang out time...•
241/366 •...a big day today; long, sun soaked... I collected a trailer load of mulch to try and give the seedlings a better chance of surviving the heat, and covered the garden beds and around the fruit trees... spent a few hours at @billyhillorganics and then DB and I made an escape and ended up here, with the sound of the waves smoothing our way to sleep. Thank you to the stars and back @artwinecircus xx •
240/366 •...DB. Cuddle time with orphaned baby wallaby. She was asked to name her - she chose Layla...•
239/366 •...good morning moon...•
238/366 •...you think roosters have image problems? If peacocks weren’t the most weirdarse beautiful thing composed by nature, they would be made into soup with frightening regularity. It’s not a ‘cock-a-doodle-doo’ - more of dystopian wail, one you might hear just before all the lights in the submarine begin to flicker...•
237/366 •...am obsessing over the colours and demeanour of Mr Fancypants...•
236/366 •...two blissful nights at the vineyard - it’s me, the Smalls, two dogs (!), one cat, two rats, several chickens, a peahen, and this guy - Mr Fancypants...•
235/366 •...grey skies - does anyone know what this vine is?...•
234/366 •...bug...•
233/366 •...roses...•
232/366 •...yesterday on our walk, crunching bark and twigs underfoot...•

Goodbye Manny

Frugality / Tiny Living Musings
by beth on Tuesday, October 18, 2016

Many years ago I bought my car on ebay for $1100 from a guy called Manfred in Kilsyth. He was a very nice man and had looked after the car beautifully. He gifted us $50 for the baby that I was very obviously going to be soon having. We named the car in his honour; …

Hanging out in Hastings

Musings
by beth on Thursday, October 6, 2016

Since leaving the boatyard on 27th September 2016, we have largely spent our time tied up at Hastings Pier – much to M‘s chagrin. We’ve done a trip back to Cowes, which included our first night at anchor… [we were held all night by MY KNOT! I have been put in charge of the anchor …

Rhyll. Our first night at sea.

Cruising
by beth on Wednesday, September 28, 2016

Our first night out on the water was spent pulled up to the pier at Rhyll. It’s one of the places M and I love and have sailed to quite a few times. It was a different dead pulling up alongside the pier in Bella Luna for the first time though! M handled it super …

Out of the boatyard, into the sea.

Cruising
by beth on Tuesday, September 27, 2016

In addition to the rules of ‘Don’t Fall Off The Boat’, ‘Wear Your Lifejacket’ and ‘Put Nothing In The Toilet That Does Not Come Out Of A Human Orifice (Except Toilet Paper)’ there is one other – simpler, but of equal importance: ‘No Deadlines.’ I tired, over the past five years, of telling people we …
