Hey guys,
Will keep this one brief for now as I'm over Jumpy's place and he's cleaning up and I'm a bit worried he might sweep me up and chuck me out with the trash  All I can say so far is Wow. Everyone has been doing so much for me already since I arrived on this side of the pond, between Jack, Haji and Jumpy taking me out and setting me up and now the amazing work Frank has put in on the car, with honerable mention for Jason of course  Frank, I can't thank you enough mate. Lending me all the gear and spending bloody five days in a row getting everything sorted, it's just amazing and it'll make my trip that much better knowing we put that time into making the bits and pieces and fitting it on. Well mostly you, I just pottered about and played with the dog most of the time Jumpy took me to see a mate of his who runs Sea Sea Marine here in Sydney and I got a nice 2 stroke 6hp outboard from him. Its a newish one ('05/'06) and it's just been pulled apart and put together with new parts so starts and runs like a beaut. With that I'm now all sorted and it's up to me to rearrange all the crap in the car and of course to get into some decent fish! BTW Sumo I did give your mate Bill a ring but he didn't have any second hand ones atm and at the price I could pick up this yammy it was too good to pass up anyway. Once again, thank all you guys for helping me out and Frank, you're a legend mate. I was almost sad to leave but I really am keen to start moving. When I get myself sorted out and settled down a bit, I'll write up a new blog entry and it will have the pics of all the stuff we did to the car. -------------------- Flying Dutchman.. soon to be fishing my way around Oz.

The amazing thing about the internet is that all you need it to connect to it and when you do that you can speak to people.
So Martin you might be located in X location but once you are online you are a lot closer. |

hey guys,
Just a quick hello. I'm in Byron Bay at the moment, taking a bit of time off from camping to meet some people to travel with. It really is a small paradise here. Beautiful women everywhere, haha! There are some great guys in my room and we're bumming around a bit during the say, surfing and all that and then going out at night, good stuff. Some of them are quite keen to get out on the water in the old boat as well so I'm sure we'll give that a go pretty soon. The women and the beach are calling me some I'm off again. Have a good weekend! -------------------- Flying Dutchman.. soon to be fishing my way around Oz.

Looks like he is having a good time, playing up and doing what backpackers do.
Hope he doesn't get himself into any trouble. -------------------- Frank
