Envious Shipping Reporter tired of paddling about in office coracle .
Our waterfront roundsman is demanding a drastic change in his mode of transport so he has been looking at desirable floating palaces . One is the above Ohana , its stern , below, lets the world know you are a discerning yachty , a man of means , despite tattered shorts , grubby in appearance, as is our Shipping Reporter .
If he cannot afford to buy or charter Ohana , he might stowaway aboard or elope with the equally attractive adjoining yacht ,Gracie, below , tied up at Magnetic Island .
