Like Venice

 Frances wanted to go to go to Sovereign Harbour and watch the yachts come in through the lock gates so that's what we did. Sovereign Harbour is pretty. "Like Venice," I said, "If you got rid of all the crumbly buildings and replaced them with nice new ones." I was hoping to get a rise out of my companions but neither of them took the bait.

Talking about bait the thing that excited me most about the harbour was seeing the big fish swimming backwards and forwards by the walls of the walkway. I imagine the water is warmer there. Also that people drop crumbs. I don't know what kind of fish they are. Just big.  Long as my fore-arm. Grey, with a suggestion of irridescence along their backs. There's no fishing allowed so they're safe.
