We all like to think we're the centre of the universe ... heck, we ARE the universe 😉, but science tells us to keep a perspective. I know not everyone's into stargazing & astronomy, but we can all be in awe of the scale. #GoodMorning, everyone.

I have moved further out along the arm at the marina. It’s now a cinch to dock, compared to the tight little nook I was in previously.

I must repaint that blue cove stripe. The gentle lady looks positively naked without it.

Third mast from the left, that’s my home berth now 😁
