Very evocative pic of "llaüt" Nueva Catalina



Sent from David in Mallorca, she is 5.0 metres LOA and built in 1940 in Palma, Mallorca. He says: "In the picture, is sailing along the Alcudia Bay, in the north of the island. You can see the original rigging, traditional in the fishing boats of the island. We use cotton sails."

Thanks David. His blog can be found at: http://llauts.blogspot.com

Port Phillip between the wars

My mother and her two brothers, Port Phillip. The two boys were killed in the next war.
