Where they are, no doubt, sucking back some of the dreadful local beers.

Yeah, I was really, really glad to hear they were safe. Having sailed that part of the world a bit, I thought they were stuffed.

Oh dear....

I’m probably in no position to point the finger.

Meanwhile, there seems to have been an outbreak of bicycle theft in South Australia. We lost two from the marina car park last week.

Maybe someone could give the guy a chart or 3...and a new "trusty rusty" push bike.

I see he got fined $1000-00 for an out of date Epirb and Flares,
And no Recreational Boat licence,

Hahahaha,
Tell that to the Victorian Cops when they stop you and you dont have them on Board and in date,
Maybe you can get an exemption being from SA,

2 x hand held Red Distress Flares
2 x Orange smoke signal flares,
Red Star Parachute Flare,
These are Compulsory in Vic, 2 Nmiles off shore,
Plus the Epirb and radio,

[GILow]

Pretty much the same rules here.

You do know I was being ironic.. right?

Was going through all the safety equipment of my recently purchased yacht last year and found this little “flare” complete with 10 cartridges.

Could’nt get a straight answer from anyone whether they were legal in Oz, So ended up handing them in the the local cop shop. Comment from the lady who gave me the receipt “the boys will have great fun shooting these off out the back!”

Hate to break it to you guys but Google tells me:

Well, get ready—as we continue to see on the runway and streets, flares are officially back and will continue to hold strong through 2020.That’s right, designers from Celine to Paco Rabanne reintroduced fresh flared jeans in their S/S 20 collections as the next It denim pick for the forward set. And fun fact, celebrities like Gigi Hadid, Margot Robbie, and Harry Styles have already been following suit in ’70s-inspired flares.

Just when you thought 2020 couldn’t get any worse.
