    Sounds like a bloody good little adventure.
    For a man is a slave to whatever has mastered him. Keep an open mind, just dont let your brains fall out.

    I'm home!
    That was an awesome little adventure, we had a great sail today, took about 10 hours and even trolled a couple of fish on the way.
    Thanks Eddie and Matt for coming down to help load up, too easy aye. Sorry I couldn't have made it a bit more exciting for you....still have the unloading to do though, but it will have to wait till I have time.

    Damn, look at that boat. I was picturing two hulls with a safety net in between. The bike tied to a plank. I stand corrected. Must have been a terrific voyage. And that Dommie looks immaculate.

    Its a good boat to carry motorcycles on and an awesome way to get across the straight, and that Dommie... its just like a new bike (well to me anyway) rides real nice too!
