Sail with the Wild Dingo for $$$$$

[shamus]

I've bought this boat which is in Sydney, but has to sail to Hobart. So how about we appoint the Wild DIngo Captain (with an advisory committee consisting of ME(I'm just the bloody owner RIGHT!!!!!) and Mike Field (this is not a normal arrangement.... think up a title for him) Tony Hunt to be in charge of weather reporting and Skuthorp , I dunno what are we gunnado with him. Phil Young will record the details, in his usual literary style/. What I'm thinking is there must be several ofyou Amercan dudes overloaded with money who will pay heaps to sail with Captain Wild Dingo and offset my costs.Unfortunatetely the Aussies have filled up the berths till there's only one left, so BID UP.Hell we may even be able to franchise this operation if we can get the appropriate photographs and such and the correct corporate profile.

Can I help?
I have done that leg at 37,000 feet about 10 years ago.

Just keep OZ on the right, right!

[shamus]

You're straight on the (unofficial ) committee Jim. We'll value you're opinion from 1 metre even though we've got no use from the high altitude stuff. I am concerned that our Captain has not logged on.

Heck...When I saw the post/topic... I thought it was gonna be a paid vacation...Bummer!

put that idea on ebay right now, for the chance to meet the Wild Dingo i'd bid a buck three eighty

Sydney to Hobart. Well, I was just recently (like, a couple of hours ago) encouraged to think about taking a sabbatical for a month or three and What I'm thinking is maybe I'll fly down to OZ and help you upside down folk sail said boat to Hobart. Only catch is we have to leave on Boxing day. Lot's of company on the trip and all you see!
And some of you know me well enough to know I'd do it! ;)

[paladin]

I dunno...as a former trimaran sailor....sailing upside down with a Dingo could getcha wet......

[Con LanAdo]

That's Capt. Dingo - P, but ya probably right just the same.

[shamus]

I've read that post again Shane, and I can't see where I was gonna pay you- but I spose we could come to some arrangement if a big enough cheque comes in from ebay. I might need some publicity materials- photographs and such to get this off the ground. A captain's hat and a parrot would be about right I expect.

[Con LanAdo]

don't forget the orgin grinder & the monkey. Will WD's (what does he call'm) kid's be able to come along too. There goes any profit if they all do.

[Wild Dingo]

OOohhh thats right now thats it take the bloody $$$$ of the table flamin ruddy tasweegians! {consider this post full of insanely wild mutterings about all things tasweegian} okay Im over it now ;)

Sigh... I gets a tad worked up and wired from time to time but it only lasts a second or too so Im over it :cool: ... okay no worries I guess I can pay me own way alrighty then whens it happen? when we goin?

Oi! I just noticed what David said!!... Yer stayin a whole year?? I mean Boxing day is the day after Christmas day mate and were plannin this little caper for...

I dun know, Sailing with the Wild Dingo, the other Aussies, and the Tazmanians. might be a bit like sailing with Bill Tillman. Blowing a gale, we're barely off an iron-bound lee shore, mast is gone by the board, rudder popped off at the gudgeons, hell, no mind, now where's that bottle of black rum? Ah, there she is. We're OK now. NO FEAR. Wake me when she strikes lads.

[skuthorp]

Shamus, you beauty! What have you bought? I volunteer for foremast hand, up there i'd get at least some forewarning of what Shane was piloting us into.
Glad we've got the cook sorted though, priorities, priorities!
:D :cool: smile.gif

[David Tabor (sailordave)]

Dingo, Lad.... Surely YOU would have realized when I said we couldn't leave SYDNEY until BOXING DAY..... I meant as part of the Sydney-Hobart Race!!!! As in, like, I thought I *might* have the opportunity to do S-H in '05 and now it looks as though the boat may not be there, but it got me thinking and you see, I thinks I needs to go walkabout for 4-6 weeks next winter.... What better place than downunda?
SWMBO actually even said that would be okay.

[Mike Field]

Be patient with him, Dave -- this is our Dingo, remember? (If you'd written it in Smilies all would have been well. :D smile.gif :cool: redface.gif ;) :eek: :mad: :rolleyes: )

You know why your missus reckons a trip to Oz would be okay, don't you? She wants to come too....

[shamus]

Sorry guys, been away pulling engine out of boat for reconditioning, as I reckon The old dingo will need an engine to get us there. Should be all fixed up in the next week or so.
