For anyone who has wondered what Willis Island is like, here’s Majestic Princess there this morning.

 

We were on that cruise.

Not a webcam, but a new travelling companion in Hobart - Solstice on a cool morning. We are on Majestic currently.

I preferred Mary Anne as she could cook.

Nice, , those piles of timber look like awfully big match sticks.

No skipper & Gilligan or Ginger is she still alive ?

We were on a 48 foot ketch, and we called into Willis after an amateur radio operation out on Mellish reef, I had been violently sea sick and was so glad to get on land, we stayed for about 3 days and the weather crew looked after us very well, their freezer had just broken down and the steaks and ice cream were defrosting, our stay was prearranged , I took some beer and roll your own tobacco for one of the techs there, he drank the  beer and smoked all the tobacco before we left, before we got there he had been going around the Island picking up all his old butts to make a smoke.   There were four weather crew, we joined in some of their activities such as launching the balloons, interesting stay for us, they reduced the stay for the crew down to 6 months, used to be 12 months but the blokes were going tropo.

 The Professor could have been handy, although I could never understand that he could make a radio out of a coconut, & do other wonderful things, but couldn't patch the hole in the boat?? 🙂

 

Sounds like an interesting stopover for you & yes, 12 months would be a long time on Willis. I think I recall they said the supply boat comes out once a month??

You're quite correct about Ginger after having contributed to the retirement funds of at least a dozen plastic surgeons thereby setting them up for life. Mary-Anne, on the other hand, has aged most gracefully.
