Sorry, Bart. It's both a poetic and a macroscopic reference.

Very funny, ahaha.

Flying Tadpole II is semi-derelict at this stage, needs a
complete workover and I don't have time. Will probably sell
as is where is for $2000. Worth it for the sails alone.

assume your going through the same?

Yes, except the oil is washed up into the Triassic/JUrassic
sandstones by the Great Artesian Basin hot water (!) Most gas
stays in the Permian. Disgusting water quality, one of my
headaches. Holes crumble in the coal, that's the engineers'
problem...

Also, COoper Basin is very dispersed--small oil targets,
widely spread. I'm running my little leggies off doing the
environmental for most of thje smaller companies. And it's
mostly in a Park. Not to mention Ramsar treaty wetlands of
international importance. At least I see water and can go for
a canoe if there's time (not...) No sailable water though.
Must visti Burke & Wills graves instead of driving past all
the time...

Sorry to hear that Taddy.
Where is she now, would the Duck Flats guys be interested in
resurrecting her?

Home. I haven't asked yet. Epoxy went under polyurethane
paint so a lot of surface checking (cheaper ply, thin surface
plies...can fix with a very light glass/epoxy layer, but that
means more weight. OTOH, the original folding schooner was in
a far worse state, now a work of art.

I'm sorry to hear that; work is the curse of the sailing
class...
Hope you find a good home for her.

We have less challanging environmental problems. Our problem is that most
of the easy oil and gas is gone. There's far more left than has been
harvested over the last hundred years, but the required technology to get it
has just been developed. That, along with new 3-D sismographic software,
coupled with a hundred years of logging data, has reduced the risk greatly.

I can't see water (desert area) unless I go at least 300 miles from home.

This is desert too, either sandridge (Strzelecki Desert) or
stony desert (Sturt's Stony Desert) but running through the
middle is Cooper's Creek, fed by monsoonal rains in QUeensland
and normally ending up in vast floodouts in the middle of the
desert (every three-four years)

We have the Pecos River flowing through the basin. Only problem is, the
people between us and the Rocky Mountains use so much of the water that by
the time it reaches the basin the river has become a small stream.
