tdw has a spectacular aura abouttdw has a spectacular aura about
Abandoned Cat

Mystery of Kaz II's missing crew - National - smh.com.au


"They got on board and said the engine was running, the computers were running, there was a laptop set up on the table which was running, the radio was working, the GPS was working and there was food and utensils set on the table ready to eat, but no sign of the crew"

Shades of the Marie Celeste ? or a good advertisement for clipping on that tether when you go up on deck. It certainly seems as if the poor bugger has gone for an unplanned dip.

G'Day BF.

It just goes to prove that multihulls are inherently dangerous and should be banned completely.

(Now did that hook a Sailing Dog or no ? ) hee hee.

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.
