Mornington Harbour Association Wild times at our home harbour...

06/06/2026

The wild weather of the past week claimed numerous vessels on Port Phillip Bay. Luckily only damaging some mooring lines at Mornington. But down at Blairgowrie and Sorrento numerous vessels sank, washed ashore and were damaged. The tourist vessel Moonraker is shown here during salvage at Sorrento.

There’s something deeply inspiring about older sailors who still chase horizons instead of slowing down completely. They’ve figured out something important that a lot of people miss: adventure doesn’t expire at a certain age.

The sea doesn’t care how old you are. It only asks whether you’re still curious enough to untie the dock lines and go somewhere new. Some sailors spend decades learning tides, weather, repairs, navigation, and patience, and by the time they’re older, they carry a quiet confidence that only comes from years spent on the water.

Maybe that’s why so many people dream about sailing later in life. Not because it’s easy, but because it keeps you engaged with the world. It keeps you learning, adapting, fixing things, and chasing beautiful places instead of sitting still waiting for life to happen somewhere else.
