'The Barnacle'

                                                                            2009

I went on the ferry from Woy Woy, not for any particular reason but to see what was there.i find water vocations fascinating, each vessel, marker and clump of mangroves had its own intriguing personality. In particular there was this old fishing trawler. Covered in flaking faded paint with a myriad of ropes, pulleys and ladders adorning it's decks, it was the old man of the bay. It's life written all over it's face and was still as steadfast and reliable as the crustaceans fixed to its hull. it was The Barnacle.
