Things Australian

Just wanted to share a few pictures. One of the striking things about Australia is all the indigenous beasties they have. Like Plate Spiders. They're called that because they are the size of dinner plates...

Here's a picture of an Australian house cat. They're not that different from American house cats except the slightly longer aft legs:

















This Saltwater Crocodile was *extremely* well trained and mellow. They also feed him a lot before bringing him out for the photos. Also, I think liability laws are different here than in the States:




























This is a less well behaved "Saltie". He weighs more than 2,200 lbs. They don't let the kids near him:














A bit of civilization:

Landlubbers Down Under

Apologies for the quiet spell. Lots going on here, but not much blog fodder.

So now the big news: We've sold Océalys! And we're ready to open the next chapter in our lives. Of course, what that chapter holds is completely unknown at this point. We start with a totally clean slate.

For now, we will be exploring the possibilities here in Australia. We'll continue to post here, although the stories might be less nautical in nature. We will try to relay what it's like for a couple of Euro/Yanks down under in the Southern Hemisphere.

So, g'day for now, mates. The barbie's waiting. (Look for a future post on the whole Australians and barbecuing thing)
