Did you lie on your application to Med School too? Oh that's right, you're not a psychiatrist or even a psychologist, are you? Yet, you keep on trying to analyze everybody. Why do you think that is? Are all the little men in your flashbacks following you, and wearing socks on their hands? You should seek that professional help that you try to give. You got it right. He's a nutcase alright.

Took 4 years of pick and shovel. Now it is being converted into a yacht marina. Riggers were putting together a huge carbon fibre mast with carbon fibre rigging. I didn't know that they used it for rigging as well. Said that the mast was imported from good old New Zealand as they were better than those in Oz. The mast alone was AUD$750,000 - a bit out of my league. Rather beautiful place. Point of land was planned to be converted to high cost housing with magnificent views of the harbour but public protest prevailed. It is right opposite Cockatoo Island, an old ship building island with more dry docks. Now a reserve on which you can camp and explore right in the centre of the city. A bit like Alcatraz I suppose, but closer and not as bitterly cold with fog and biting breezes. Sunday we rode our bikes around the acres of the old military armoury depot alongside Paramatta River. Very interesting, right next door to the huge Olympic Park where the Games were held in 2000. Has a miniature railway previously used for munitions conveyance and now for transporting people about. Noticed that most of the quite nice apartments in the Olympic village had not been sold. So much for the planners's version of recouping costs. Met a family of house truckers who parked each night during their stay in the city by the roadside in the Olympic Park without being molested by passing Police. Good to know that it can still be done in a city as big and as regulated as this. Not much hope for boats though. You can still only legally stay aboard for two nights per month. Peter |

Made a cup of "Chinese coffee" and sat in the cockpit drinking it and watching it rain - Heavy Monsoon Rain! Had another cup. Now wired on caffeine decided to drive to town for provisions. Got my "going to town shorts and tee shirt" on, took the big umbrella out and hoofed it up to the parking lot. The truck won't start. Sat in the truck and watched it rain. Walked back to the boat and watched it rain. The rain abated somewhat so decided to try the truck again. Still won't start. Rain increases. Walked back to the boat. This sequence continued until about 16:00 when I said "to Hell with it!" and changed back into my grotty boating shorts. Being low on provisions had two thin ham & cheese sandwiches for supper and so to bed Damn, but you guys have it good! Bruce-in-Bangkok (correct Address is bpaige125atgmaildotcom) |

Bruce-in-Bangkok (correct Address is bpaige125atgmaildotcom) Yes, but what a country to be doing it in Bruce. With all those beautiful women............... You have your priorities right - apart from the haram ham sandwich You could be in a boatyard in Sydney, playing horrendous yard fees and freezing in the rain and winter wind. Warm rain, no matter how constant, is so much nicer. Peter |

What is the harbourfee in Sydney for a 23-footer? Here in Denmark the highest fee I have ever paid, was 31,5 aus$ a night at a very popular harbour for week-end cruisers. http://maps.google.com/?ie=UTF8&ll=5... 377&t=h&z=16 -- Dette er en signatur.

I remember it created a storm in New Zealand and was either banned for a while or was nearly banned. Did you know that the State of Louisiana has banned Sir Walter Scott's classic novel "Ivanhoe" from Public School libraries? The grounds for doing so are very interesting. Peter. |

I shall find out. I don't think that they charge Habour Fees as an item for small boats. I can't recall paying one apart from mooring fees. I know that a rented mooring from the Waterways Authority for a 30 footer is about AUD $230 per annum. I think that last includes a periodic inspection. regards Peter |
