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.
