Day 18 in Fremantle

Lovely weather, 26' and the Fremantle Doctor blowing gently. We went ashore - keen for terra firma after three days at sea - and wandered around before meeting David's brother Richard and his wife Ilga for a fish lunch at Cicerelli's on the waterfront. They live in Subiaco and we haven't seen them for a year, so lots to catch up on including nephew Michael's engagement.

After lunch we strolled along the waterfront to look at the Dutch replica ship Duyfken from 1606 where Ilga knows one of the attendants. Then off to Cottesloe for afternoon tea at a cafe on the cliff overlooking a famous shark area and cake to celebrate Ilga's approaching birthday.

Not surprisingly we didn't want much dinner but had to front up because it was our first appearance at a permanent early sitting table, where the 6 incumbents welcomed us very nicely.
