Jim, I fear life on the hard is making you cynical.

I believe it's been salvaged Matt? I'm yet to see it but maybe this weekend.
Thank you for it & I'll definitely look you up for a sail one day!
Often wanted to do the Kangaroo Island hop! (hint!)

Yep, your "man" paid me a visit the other day.

The trip to K.I. is a ripper, particularly if you get the overnight katabatic. Scenery is nice if you do the day trip. But it's a minimum of 12 hours each way in our boat, though I blasted back on the last trip from Emu Bay in about 10. But that was a rough trip and I'd not like to repeat it. I was totally buggered when I got home.

I suppose hanging around K.I. and waiting for the right winds is not too much of a burden.
