ESCAPE FROM ALCATRAZ

Our Shipping Reporter-out for a walk-photographing the clouds and seascapes,  was taken aback when he spotted this woman off  Magnetic Island  seemingly  escaping  the  lockdown  in  what looked like  a  foot-propelled  craft , the  paddle rarely used . Nearby  is  a  block  of   apartments   long  known  as  Alcatraz by locals .   
The  waterfront roundsman provided these arty views of the island which is in  an increasing  state of  lockdown, the number of ferry  runs  reduced . In normal times  the  island  would  be  gearing  up  for  a  very  busy Easter.  
 
In the many other  interesting  island  views  he  offered was  the following one looking  towards  Townsville  which  is under  a long  line  of clouds.
