A quick check-in revealed the group to be doing well, as well as ever,
anyway, with many familiar folks still here. Glad to see it so! The
only one missing is the funny guy with the yellow boat- what was his
name?
Anyway, we're serving advance notice to the Antipodes that if all goes
according to plan, like that ever happens, we'll be there come November
1 or so. Looking forward to seeing what it's like to be upside down
all the time. We'll depart Mexico around late March and cruise the
coconut milk run.
The first beer will be on me!

The funny guy with the yellow boat is still here only wearing a dress
and sailing a boat with an orange name....

Now why doesn't that surprise me? So if your boat is moored by Doug's
Tug, does that mean you will always get a tow if your engine dies and
there's no wind?

As long as they have beer, yes.

With fuel prices the way they are, I'd hold out for Heineken at least!
Maybe Champagne?

We don't burn much fuel. Besides, we really like Chopper,
he's not the beer-snob type.

Duh, I hope you know your not allowed to land in the Antipodes. And it's
awful cold. It's home to penguins. Nothing to see there for humans. New Zealand
is supposed to be nice though. The Bay of Islands is good cruising.

Cheers,

heh....or if we go aground?

I had always heard Oz and NZ refered to by that word, but, duh, guess
we were both wrong, Ellen, honey. Are you the current reincarnation of
Neal? Looks like Thailand is my personal Antipode.

correction, on closer look, there is no land antipodal to my current
location, just Indian Ocean. Might as well go to New Zealand I guess,
then Oz
