If you get as far south as Tasmania, I'm still here. May not be in
another 12 months tho.

Hey Peter, a blast from the past! *Yes, as long as we're in the under
part of downunder we'll undoubtably want to check out Tasmania. *Gotta
see a Tasmanian Devil in his native habitat! *Probably won't have the
boat with us, but will try to look you up for sure. *Any good winerys
in Taz?

Lots of boutique wineries that specialise in the cool climate
varietals. One is right across the road from my place.

As for wildlife, you could look on my front lawn any evening and see
wallabies, pademelons, bandicoots and a few other creatures. Grey
kangaroos are around too. Taz devils are getting scarce in the wild
but there's a park down the Arthur Peninsula with plenty, and the Port
Arthur ruins are a must-see.

Best time of year, climate-wise, is probably Feb thru April. December
& Jan can be hot & sunny or windy & rainy but by Feb it's usually
warm, calm and dry.

My hotmail address gets to me eventually, when I remember to check it.
If you do bring the boat there's good anchorage out the front of my
place and I have a mooring there for a 42' Gazelle, tho it's in fairly
shallow water. Colvin designs don't draw much.

Thanks, Peter, for the kind offer. Maybe we'll enter Arabella in the
Sydney-Hobart and sail down! Do they have a "Furniture Class"? We
could get the trophy for slowest elapsed time no doubt.
One way or another, we will get down that way, I'm sure. We're
planning to spend at least 6 months to a year checking out Australia
and hopefully selling the boat in the meanwhile. Can't afford the
commuter-cruiser lifestyle anymore.

S'matter Mike? Did the old lady abscond with the contents of your bank
account like she did her former boyfriend's? If not now, sooner or later,
just don't make her mad. Remember you are now and forever her slave or else.
Keep this in mind as she gets bigger, older, lazier and crabbier. So she's
making you sell your boat and give up cruising? It figures. I tried to warn
you about that woman but you wouldn't listen. I tried to tell you she was
trouble but she managed to pull the wool over your eyes.

Yeah sure Wilneal, we all know you really just wanted her to join you
in your purple-upholstered passion pit of a v-berth!

Oh come now! If you're talking about the v-berth in Captain Neal's, world
famous, blue water, Coronado 27, surely you jest. There is no way in Hell
Ladysailor could fit in that small space. Besides, the Good Captain would
only want her to stay in the galley where old women belong provided she's a
good cook and dishwasher. For the v-berth the upper age limit is 30 years
old and the height limit is 5'2" and the weight limit is 110 pounds.seems
like I remember him telling me something along those lines.

Right-o Willie, keep up the good work and remember, reality is what
you think it is!
