And *that* is real cruising... :-)

Isn't it interesting that we never hear anything about Wilbur's boat
or his latest voyage. Saves on maintenance and other operating costs
I guess.

I guess it was a *real* cruise. His girlfriend got sick in Kuching and
he had to fly her back to Thailand; he got to Singapore and the output
flange on his gearbox broke so he had to get a new one made and when
he finally got to Australia they wanted to charge him A$ 1500 for a
termite inspection on his fero-cement boat.
