That would look good floating on the dam in the paddock.

Have a great trip Peter.

Thanks guys.... Thinking of live sheep, there is a bit of mutton done up as lamb in this part of the world .....

Quite amazing to see half a dozen +100k ton ships in the
same harbour at the same time

I seem to recall you made a similar "tongue in cheek" remark about a photo Chris took of a 737, referring to it as "light aviation"...

Hope the cruise goes well.

No - it's worse. On this one the livestock have to pay.

I hope you enjoy yourself Peter but the idea of being confined to a floating hotel with a bunch of strangers just doesn't do it for me. Crowds distress me.

Heard they only sail the Carribean as they are too unstable to sail in rougher waters

All the best on your trip enjoy the mutton

They dont have to worry about hurricanes, they can usually outrun them, else divert around them.

I did the "Pirates" thing 16 years ago, was supposed to go Jamaica, Grand Caymen, Cozumel, but a hurricane over Grand Caymen ment we diverted from Jamaica to Pueto Rico and The Bahamas.

Peter, you will have fun. Dont forget to get second helpings of the Lobster.

Have a great time Peter, I suppose you get a bit tired of flying, this will be much slower and relaxing, enjoy.

I'd hate to be an oarsman on that thing - the oars must be very long indeed.
