Hi from Australia

[Janelletb1]

Hi, I'm Janelle and I'm getting back into sailing after a break, other than some racing and local cruising. I sailed Greek Peloponnes to Italy in 2010 and hope to get back

[Icarus]

Hi, I am Eric...good to see you getting back in to sailing..good luck

[GordMay]

Greetings and welcome aboard the CF, Janelle.

[HappyMdRSailor]

You caught me off guard.... I had no idea Australians used the salutation "Hi" .... Of course G'day has been overused to death....

Welcome to CF Janelle.... Enjoy and ask... (and help too...) I think You'll find a lot of enjoyment here!

Well, G'Day all y'all (for happy sailor)

And back on track, welcome to CF Janelle, from an almost Aussie cruiser. You will find a lot of good sorts here, some of which know a lot and some of which know it all. You choose...

Cheers,

Jim

Nice turn of phrase, Jim. And welcome 'home'.
Janelle, welcome aboard, and adopt Jim as your sailing pop. What he doesn't know isn't worth knowing.

Well G'day then!I could say I'm as dry as a dead dingo and flat out like like a lizard drinking, but that would probably be annoying to my fellow Aussies who would've heard that already And I really am dry as a dead dingo here in hot Brisbane! Time to crack a tinnie...

And I was just fixin' to mention a y'all here and there would be 'preciated... One of the new "words" I learned moving to the South was preciatechya (preeshee-ate-chuh) = thank you!

Aloha and welcome aboard!

Good to have you here.

I think she means similar to a non-native living in paradise with a bum foot who likes to imbibe on a regular basis....

hi
not quite with the flat out like a lizard drinking....
thanks for your warm welcome! I have now posted in "Crew Available" if anyone is looking

[Mirage Gecko]

Ever watched a lizard drink..usually lays flat close to ground and water.
However the saying means being busy or you could say as busier than a one armed paper boy on a windy day.
