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.

"I ask the crew to please not call an Aussie a "Limey" as it somewhat upsets them,"

The way to ingratiate yourself to an Aussie when you first meet is to say:
"And what part of New Zealand are you from?"
