Wait until you try to sneak some beans or beef bouillon cubes past an Australian customs agent. He searched places in our boat that I didn’t even know we had!

That’s good to know! I met an Aussie in Panama who was trying to get home in time for the Sydney olympic games, to charter his rebuilt 60’ wood ketch. He had (and showed me) a few Russian rifles he’d picked up in Oman or Yemen for his Red Sea passage. He said he was going to pitch them overboard last thing before his arrival home. He told me they cost $25 each.

(BTW, I saw him a few years after that on CNN, pulling balloonist/yachtsman Steve Fosset from his balloon’s capsule on the Great Barrier Reef, where he had a charter party when Fosset came down early.)
