Hammo and Airlie are good value - very much worth it. Lucky you have an Aussie on board to act as translator and cultural liaison. Link to post Share on other sites

Careful how many Australians you accumulate. With a critical mass they form colonies and take over the joint. The best way to get the speed record is to jump on the PC and momentarily adjust the B&G preferences so the log reads 20kts faster. Link to post Share on other sites
