Gut

[GUT]

Hi all, I've had a few messages about being AWOL.

And I really do appreciate it.

The truth is I'm on holidays.

Currently circumnavigating Australia on the Diamond Princess, party due to the generosity of some family nd friends, partly due to some people who owed me money for a long time finally paying up, party due to blowing some savings.

Now at sea Internet is either expensive as all get out or slooooooow or non existent, (today we are in Port at Perth).

Having a wonderful time, except with all the food there might be 2 or 3 GUTs by the time the month is out.

Should be back on deck around End of November.

I had a brief visit to the Good old hospital just before we left but all went fairly well.

I will try and drop by when I have Internet.

Thanks for everyones concern it actually means a lot.

I for one am extremely jealous. Have a good time.

Sounds fantastic.

I'd originally read that as "on a Diamond Princess"... which is the best kind of person to ride out at sea but a boat is probably safer.

Ooooh. Sounds fascinating. Australia is so far away as to be a totally different experience, albeit they have you guys's accents. Copycats ^..^

Enjoy and think of us poor slobs once in a while

Have you gone by the "Great Barrier Reef" yet or is that at the end of the trip?

[Rosella]

Nothing nicer than a sea cruise for relaxation. Good for you, Gut.

[Ginger]

Have fun!

[Pcdunn]

Good to hear from you, Gut. Enjoy your cruise!

That was 1st stop, we're going anti clockwise, up east cost, over to Darwin up to Bali, down West Coast Perth/Fremantle today, across the bottom around South Island of NZ back to Sydney.

It's hard, but some body has to do it.

How right you are.

I took four books to read, I've got brought about 2 chapters.

Alas, poor baby....

What Gut forgot to tell the rest of you is that he joined this cruise as a galley slave.



- Row lively there, Gut, you mangey old sea dog, or I'll have you keel-hauled again!

Rather be a Galley Slave than on land.

G'day Jeff

I take the view that they

Build the ship
Staff the ship
Put on food

And drink

The leaf I can do is sail ea and drink.
