Paintings from my 'Plastiki' diary

  All these works were painted on Monday 26th July 2010 on the media boat the "Coast", in watercolour in a  21 x 26cm diary.
It was a lovely winter's day- sunny, clear and calm. However I had been battling the flu for over a month, and a day out on a boat just inside the Heads with the crisp ocean breeze in my hair was almost the last nail in my coffin! I was quite seriously ill and am still recovering, but I wouldn't have missed the experience for anything!
On Wednesday night I donated one of my oil paintings of the view through the Heads from Georges Heights, proceeds going to S.I.M.S.- the Sydney Institute of Marine Sciences. The occasion was a fascinating interview by Robin Williams questioning David de Rothschild about his epic Plasiki adventure.
As well as the canvas I donated, I displayed this painting diary about sailing to greet the Plastiki.
In November, I displayed it again with other paintings at the annual S.I.M.S. Open day at their headquarters at Chowder Bay, Mosman.
