Yet again, I have been drawn to the water and the dazzling orange hull of the Aurora Australis!
I had intended to post a photograph of the visiting US Navy amphibious assault ship, the USS Tarawa. Unfortunately, none of my shots met with my strict editorial standards (I am a hard taskmaster). Thus, you get to see the Aurora again, albeit this time with a little friend on the left.
Not all is lost though, with Greg at Hobart Daily successfully capturing the visitors very nicely here. I was also pleased to hear a report from notorious man-about-town (and sometime commentator on this blog), the mysterious ‘Coach’, that the pride of the US Navy were spotted in full force at the thrilling clash between the Hobart versus Clarence blockbuster at North Hobart Oval on Saturday. By all accounts the Budweiser was flowing, the Hobart merchandise was flying out the door and even the good old National Pie went down well with the sailors.
Perhaps the AFL need to exploit this newfound love of the game and get past thinking about an expansion team in Western Sydney, and set there sights on South Carolina instead?

"Had a chat to Phil about that this morning. He reckoned the sailors were buying 6 packs instead of individual beers. And one told him the ‘hotdog’ was the best he’d ever had as he ate a sav!! (And I thought selling savs no longer complied with health regulations.)"
It was always sausages or the dogs eye after that.
Cool color, nice reflection.
