Don't Pay The Ferryman ...

[Jim Cate]

G'Day Boatman,

So, how long will you be in Tassie? We hope to be there within a fortnight or so, and would keep an eye out for you if you are still in the area... love to have a yarn and a glass with you.

Meanwhile enjoy the Huon Valley, the wooden boat folks and especially the good folks at the Port Cygnet Sailing Club... about our favorite spot in Australia, Port Cygnet!

Cheers,

Jim

Hi Jim... I head for Melbourne tomorrow evening then Portugal early Sunday for Christmas with a return ticket in case I need to come back for more of this pointless stupid litigation thats wasting everyones time and money... just hope we can get to a mutual agreement soon... but time is on my side now and I'm solvent again after arranging for the disposal of some of my 'toys' back home. Gonna miss the 4.5 RIB and my car but its just a dust catcher lately and I've the Suzi 125 Trail as back-up so alls good.
I will take this opportunity to say... once again...
THANKS TO ALL FOR THE AWESOME SUPPORT BOTH MORAL AND FINANCIAL....:fl owers: you guys n gals have been magic...
NO FURTHER DONATIONS REQUIRED... I'M ON MY FEET AGAIN... SO HANG ON TO YOUR CASH...

Phil

Great news, Phil. Have a good sail and flight home.

[nagrom snoyl]

there are good ships , there are wood ships, there are ships that sail the sea , but the best ships are friendships and may they always be...........my faith in humanity is slowly comming back after reading this tread from start to finish

Where will you be in Melbourne,

[Khagan1227]

Good to hear you are back on your feet Phil!

Have a good flight back and an even better Christmas.

[Capt Phil]

Grand News, Phil... glad things have worked out for you and you are headed for familiar territory. Think of the yarns you have added to your collection! Safe travels... cheers, Phil

Bon Voyage Phil, Merry Christmas, glad you made Tas safely.

I spoke to Boatman last night with offers of food, beer, etc. Unfortunately, his schedule and ours did not correlate (he's gonna be in Hobart precisely when we are on the boat sailing all day, heh), so we won't have the pleasure of his company and he misses the dubious pleasure of our company. We tried though.

But much appreciated non the less Pat... Thank you...

As to where will I be in Melbourne... the airport from 1900hrs of the 1st till 0230hrs of the 2nd Dec.. fancy a beer mate...
Being on my feet again is definitely a damn sight better than being on my a*se... been a long time since thats happened...

Maaaate, Boatie is one sailor I would give up a day's sailing for. The water will still be there Sunday...... unless of course, you are winning some race series - that might be different
