Cobby, the pole pruning, orchidectimizing, paranhas are not extinct. It was one of those weird instances wherein something gets coded into their genetic structure to avoid....in any case, Fred no longer has to worry about them thinking he is bait.

It is safe, I repeat...It Is Safe To Go Back Into The Water!-)

Getting ship in shape for the run to Australia early next month, through Bass Straight to fine ole Melbourne. Crew will therefore brush up on Aussie lingo and mores, which is much different from the Kiwis.

And, this time there, I ask the crew to please not call an Aussie a "Limey" as it somewhat upsets them, as much as the time Cobby caused a British fellow to faint when he volunteered that Prince Charles may be suffering from inbreeding. We must maintain our couth.

Well, if the water is the least bit cold, I don't have to worry about those darn piranhas anyway!
