Leaving Melbourne………..

 

 

 

The terminal "welcome" sign

 

Balconies of the Europa

 

The city beyond the pier

 

Sail boarding

 

Port Melbourne Beach

 

Few sailboats

 

Beach front

 

Seaside restaurant

 

View from Station Pier

 

Seaview Pool

 

Many birds following us

 

West Gate Bridge, we think

 

Surfing with a kite

 

The Europa stayed

 

Away we go

 

Sandridge Beach

 

Melbourne Star Flyer in the distance

 

Downtown

 

A gannet

 

Can dive from heights of 148 feet…incredible

 

Air sacs around throats and necks cushion the impact

 

Terns can migrate 25,000 miles from the Artic to Antarctic

 

The city fades in the backround

 

Spirit of Tasmania ferry

 

One of many ships

 

A sailboat came very close

 

Taking chances

 

Crossed our wake

 

Neat sail boat, gutsy crew
