20/12/2006: "Fathom 2 ...... Miss Sea Hornet 1971"

The fathom home-office was a rented house on a cliff, with a northerly aspect overlooking Curl Curl beach. Every window had an ocean view. The windows had salt on them during heavy seas.

It was a fantastic experience for several years with the ocean at the doorstep. We had a good lifestyle - it wouldn't last forever, there were other things to do. Travel and adventure. Often the front awn would be 18 inches high by the time we returned from Coralita trips. The landlord lived next door and was never impressed but I paid the rent for months in advance so he was happy.



Sandra Greentree (pictured) shared the house with her future husband, John C Fairfax. We were all good friends with a common love of the underwater world. Sandra modeled free of charge for Sea Hornet in all ten issues. This picture was taken on the jetty at Bundeena, Royal National Park, Sydney, one of our favorite weekend boating destinations.
