Designer Dave Gerr points out that aeration, or prop ventilation, does occur and limits vessel speed, but that no crashing or porpoising ever happens.

 

Ooops!!

Here's a couple I came across recently....

 

... and this one - just because it's priceless!!

 

Brilliant, just brilliant!

 

G'day stranger, how is the gorilla living in Melbourne?

I have a feeling that that boat goes nowhere fast (or slowly)

 

Rugging up for winter and squeezing the last few trips out of my fast fouling craft... Chose the wrong anti-foul this year! Bother!... got a hot tip for next season, lets hope it lasts better. Thoughts of winter breaks in the land of queens are developing

Hope all is well with you... off to watch TopGear now, love those mad POM's.

 

Not bad entertainment, looking forward to the Australian series... I wonder if they will see the hookers from Darwin who got around in pink Cadillac soft-tops... The Ute muster should crack 6000 utes this year... Pity the Cannonball run is no longer... (Darwin to Alice?)

Bloody weird weather of late, should be cold nites and balmy warm sunny days - last 2 weeks we have seen rain clouds following the coast (mainly 50 - 100 km offshore - with the occasional annoying cold drizzle coming ashore)

You thinking of making a "tree change"? - lots of the views and hilltop sites gone or multi-million value.

 

Damn southern hemisfere is going cold, i hate TV, hate being indoors, so guess what - goin fishin in a cold - get flu - and stay in bed for one day to start the cycle all over again

 

Winter is a coming in Manie, get yer woolies out mate!

 

Random silliness...











The small boat on deck is supposed to have held all the detonation gear that they wanted to retrieve.

 

the small boat was where they held all the "gear" and had a cool camera shot from there,,,but not as good as the shots from inside the carrier,,,,if its the same 1 im thinking of,,,they sunk it for a man made reef, and a diving spot fer tourists,,it almost flipped on them before it sat up right again,,,,took them like a month to de-rig it.,,,they had a show bout it on the discovery channel,,(damned cartoons weren't on) hehe
and that old guy next to the baritone is my dad,,,and mom said he died hehe

 

I would have liked to see that one live! Even the doco would be good...
