Not really. It's actually pretty beautiful and the people

myth. Anyway, we're stuck here for a bit looking for pipefittings
for a new exhaust riser, and a couple bazillion other projects,
mostly small butrequiring city-type resources. Papeete is a city,
all right. Got new logs and pics up on the site, for those
interested.
Fumbling along living the dream,

Sounds terrible, my heart bleeds for you :-)

How much water does your boat draw, enquiring minds want to know.
I'm back on the boat looking trail, happens every year when the
frosts start and I think of warmer parts. Next year is looking good
to be somewhere else...
When you get to Oz, drop me a line.

Arabella draws just 5.5 feet, or roughly 1.676 meters. Skeg hung
rudder, a good Aussie Autostream 3 blade adjustable-pitch
selffeathering prop,,,uh yeah, about 5.5 feet.
Was heading for New Zealand but If I get too far west I just may
cometo Oz this year, Otherwise next for sure.
The boat just might be for sale ;0)

FWIW, with the Aus-USA Free Trade Agreement, boats made in the USA and
sold in Aus don't attract import duty any more. GST of 10% still
appliestho.

I've been looking at a local boat that draws a bit over 6', decided
it's too much for my planned requirement. Plenty boats around tho.

Tasmania is a nice place but well off the usual cruising boat run.
Lots of good places to see on the east coast & where I live south of
Hobart. Cool in winter, tho.
