0800 Tuesday 17Sep02 Tasman Sea
with a brisk wind at our back

At current speed and crew sobriety grasp of reality motivation our ETA is Saturday morning for the Furneaux Group, which is between Melbourne and Tasmania (click on the lower right of the last {bottom} map and then click the rectantagle between Melbourne and Launceston.)

LadyX has prepared a series of much too long very interesting lectures on the mores of Australia, especially concerning the extreme shyness and prudishness of the Australians, whom you should always address as Pommies, which they will greatly appreciate. For example, you should walk up to the largest person in a pub and say, "G'Day, Pommie. Would you mind moving your wussy jumbuck freckle our of the way?" It will be a real ripper.

"G'Day, Pommie. Would you mind moving your wussy jumbuck freckle our of the way?"

Thanks! I'll try that at first opportunity! Y'know, for some
odd reason I have difficulty interacting with furriners..
Quite bizzare, what with me being so charming and all...
That phrase should help!
