    Re: Antipodean Boats Connection

    This is a message for those in Adelaide. A group of us are meeting on Thursday evening for dinner and you're welcome to come. 5:00pm outside the Sailmaster tavern, North Haven, on the marina side. Ted Hoppe from the US is visiting and we'll be having dinner with him after we've had a quick look at the boats at the NH marina.

    Please message me if you'll be coming, unless I already have your confirmation.

          Isn't that cheating?

                        Phil, I've started to cycle to work again after not doing so for months (only 16k round trip). I think cycling needs at least 2 times a week for some sort of proficiency. Did the Grand Slam series in 2006, 200k on the last ride, can't believe I did it now. Managed to avoid lycra so far. See you tomorrow evening.

                        Cheers

                          Having taken due note of the driving skills and attitudes of the local lads I have ceased riding my bike to town ....

                            I'm trying to get out every day-depends on weather though.

                              Seems I've joined Marine Rescue at an interesting time. All the VMR units recently came under the control of MRNSW. So all the training and qualifications change and now come under the one organization. Looks like I'm doing a fire fighting course later this month and I think it's going to be a bit more than a knapsack and a rakehoe.
                              Without freedom of speech, we wouldn't know who the idiots are.

                                Gary you will be doing fire fighting as in house fires , not bush fires.
                                I did the course and refreshers 3 times , its a bit of fun.
                                Hopefully your training facility has a better safety record than Fiskeville though.
