Although an experienced scuba-diver, and an afficionado of marine archaeology, my friend, Diane, was hesitant about taking the one hour jaunt on "The Enterprize" on Port Phillip Bay, out of Portarlington. The weather was brewing, and this close to the heads, the waters have a treacherous reputation.
The decision made, we boarded and headed for the dead-centre of the deck to mitigate the bluster and swell as nuch as possible.I walk with a stick, and wobble precariously at times, so did not move around for the duration. I did, however, move from the vertical to the horizontal, ie, I lay down on the cabin roof, which afforded some remarkable views of the rigging. |

Wonderful Shots!
Gosh looking back you took some amazing images during your hour afloat on the high seas Julie, I admire your friend for overcoming her trepidations, not sure if I could have :) Love the tall mast ships, you were on to a winner the moment you hit the deck :)
Whoah, makes me dizzy, well done on a striking set of photos Julie.
Great theme day post
Dizzying, and a terrific take on the theme!
Great journey, Julie, feeling a bit topsy turvy right now ... :-) Probably what you wanted to achieve for theme day!
These are all beautiful and fascinating images, Julie. Well done. I think this is a difficult theme.
It is a dizzying view but you got some remarkable photos.
That must have been scary if it got rough. Great example of upside down.
Gosh - that makes me giddy Julie.
Nice work. Your dizzying images fit the theme wonderfully.
I really like all the lines of the rigging against that beautiful sky.
Great contribution. I really like the wooden ships and am glad you and friend decided to board. Great idea of shooting the rigging..

Been following your series on FB, these are fab Julie! I loooooove tall ships so I can only adore these!
These are great shots, perfect for the theme!
Wonderful and not easy to photograph either.
You are braver than I would have been. You were rewarded with some great shots.
Lovely captures for the theme!
These are great shots! Being a little unsteady myself at times I applaud them even more enthusiastically imagining what it took to get them. Bravo!
Neat angle! What a fantastic blue sky!
Such a different and interesting perspective...things look so different this way!
A very good choice for this theme day and a wonderful ship. Now I going backwards to the other posts...
I'm glad to hear that you were lying down when you took these. Looking up like that would certainly have made me a bit dizzy. These are great shots!
You amaze me what you achieve despite your wobbles. And inspiration.
