Tasmania Police Patrol Vessel, Vigilant.
Bludging at anchor in Waubs Bay, Bicheno, Tasmania.
Designed and built by Ray Kemp, the Vigilant was launched in 1971 and has operated as an auxiliary patrol craft since then. She's 52' at the waterline and constructed from the superior boat-building timber, Huon Pine, which species is endemic to Tasmania.
A nice evening to be down by the water - apart from filling the boots up a little...

Mueck’s human images are almost too real, but gradually the fairy-tale atmosphere turns wrong. The amazement becomes sharper. A sense of danger creeps in underneath, a feeling that becomes manifest in a recently completed group of statues of three enormous black dogs.
It is unclear whether you should be afraid of those dogs, or whether they fear you. Dogs are fun but also dangerous. There is angst in the air and that easily turns into aggression. Mueck wants to warn us – pay attention! – although he does not say why, but the title ‘En Garde’ unmistakably calls for vigilance.
These dogs work together as a pack and scan the environment together. That way they are bigger and stronger than you. It is a turning point in the exhibition. ‘Almost real’ is not the trick. Mueck does not have to fool us with deceptively realistic skin. He can direct our emotions even more directly in a bare form.
A relaxed but still vigilant Sethi in the garden this morning. The temperatures dropped quite considerably on Sunday and were still quite cool on Monday morning. I think Tofu enjoyed it, it's nice to be able to breathe again. :)

This fella is a regular in the yard. By the time I could get to the door and not take a shot through the rain soaked window, his mate had flown but he remained at his post. He seemed to share my patient, yet reluctant position. It is what it is. But there will be a point.
