Airlie

19 Aug. Airlie. Met couple from one of five 'Eureka'-flying boats in harbour. They got sticker. I tried to get them to get flag. The five would be spectacular. Current count 5 Eureka, three current Aussie, one bulldogs, one sharks, one Northern Territory and one unidentifiable. Glorious day on the rocks of the marina. Dreaming. Inflatable comes out of sailing club. They wave. I wave. I point to flag and salute. Merwoman salutes. I give thumbs up. She gives three fingers facing (scouts salute). They laugh. A tern catches a fish. Shakes, swallows. Then flying low washes beak. Very civilized!!!
