I first had a chance to go to Lord Howe Island as a member
of a yacht crew in a Gosford to Lord Howe Island Race. It was very exciting
racing offshore with a destination being a place I had always wanted to visit.

The morning we were due to first spot the island had
everyone straining to spot it, and after it was spotted it seemed to take
forever to close up to it. I have now raced to the Island 3 times, and I love the
island.

We flew to the island to celebrate our 20th wedding
anniversary  and spent just 4 days due to
my wife's work commitments.

However through short it was a memorable holiday. The island
trader visits the Island weekly, bringing everything a modern community
requires, food, building materials, drinks, you name it, and then it takes away
the islands refuse, for disposal back on the mainland.

I based this painting on a photo I took one morning when the
Island trader was unloading.

the view is towards the south, looking across the lagoon
towards Mt Lidgbird and Mount Gower.
