gems from a golden age

Tinderbox, Tasmania.

 

I used to journey through these waters on a yacht when I was a teenager. We would travel around here (Bruny Island, the Channel, etc) for days or weeks at a time.

 

I remember very clearly sailing in a strong sea breeze close to here one particular day - the radio was playing and I remember hearing the song "No Promises" by Icehouse and the lyrics had the words "white waves on an ocean" which was exactly what I was looking at, so the song stuck with this moment in time (along with the lyrics "Gems from a golden age"). Life was simple and perfect in that moment. Of course this image is calm and tranquil, but there's something in this image that reminds me.
