The phrase ‘all at sea’
Comes from a time past, where ship navigation was much less certain
No GPS or accurate weather forecasts
I learnt to sail in the pre GPS days
In days of dead reckoning, bearing compases, cocked hats, noon sights, star sights and sextant
And you best friend was a lighthouse
At the entrance to ports, like the Point Lonsdale Light at the entrance to Port Phillip
Or looming large over dangerous headlands
Like at Cape Liptrap
Or at Cape Schank
While at sea
Companions at sea are the sea birds, terns, shearwaters and gannets
And of course the playful dolphins
Then finding that safe harbour
Or the sheltered cove
Its good to be all at sea again.
Great pictures!!!
Thank you. Beautiful to be at sea again
