Best wishes Ross. I wonder how they will enjoy your bush verse down at the yacht club. You'll be able to swap nautical anecdotes with Stephen Whiteside. :lol:

Thanks Neville, believe it or not I actually have done a bit of sailing....well I have ridden on a sail boat...yatch a few times, I did go in the Adelaide to Lincoln yacht race once and a few night races at Port Lincoln, my mate in Lincoln has a trailer sailor which I have spent considerable time on at every oppotunity, I doubt Stephen and my anecdotes would be comparable though.... :roll:

Thanks Ron....I'll make every effort... ;)

....actually....no! Funny how tourists come from miles around to see things like the Henley on Todd, while I have lived in Alice Springs itself fo 19 years and never been to one!... :)

Onya Rossco!

Enjoy the water, the fishing, the seafood, the gentler climate and retirement (though if you get a bit toey for some work I'm sure there's a few blackfella camps needing a sparky down there on the Eyre Peninsula ;) )

I've also heard that Port Lincoln has the most millionaires per capita in Australia. :shock:

If so . . . what has you moving there done to that stat? :)

Cheers, Marty

ps. Gotta agree with you on that Qld whiting. SA has better beer too, though it's 95% Qld rain

G'day Marty, reckon I might help level the playing field in the millionaire stakes!.. ;)
As for the beer, I make my own out of the famous SA family owned companies brew kits....who by the way use water from a bore on the premises to make their beer I am led to believe....I think they might treat it a bit though!

I am about to embark on a 500Km trip out into the Gibson desert for the week, one trip more out of the way....but no beer for a week!... :)

Goodonya Ross. You could do worse than live by the sea. Hope you keep posting - your poems are always worth a look.

Regards Jeff
