Anyhow, after a successful day at sea we returned to where the waves were breaking for what we expected to be a relatively easy landing by comparison to our entrance. As we moved towards shore, we all braced for action. We’d come in behind a wave and Dad would jump out, steady the ship and take us safely to shore. Well, this is where that Bitter comes in. Because the bloke was seriously disoriented he jumped directly into a deep hole and disappeared from view with only his tracksuit top and terry towelling hat floating to the surface.

We didn’t know whether to laugh or cry but, to be quite honest, we didn’t have either option, because another wave was about to crash on us and we were a rudderless ship without our captain heading directly for shore.

Luckily, the beach was now full of Japanese tourists – who are never short of a good chat or a camera – and were clicking away with their cameras. We felt like mongs, Dad looked like a clown and the puzzled Japanese tourists were confused to say the least at what they determined to be standard Australian boating practice. It was a humbling experience. And only fitting that the tourists got the last laugh. I’ve been sympathetic of tourists and a respectful traveller ever since.
