INVESTIGATOR 563

I have been on holidays in W.A. for a while and internet was scratchy. Just thought as I'd missed a merry xmas message I'd wish the forum a happy new year. I would say apart from the general trend of bad news this year world wide it has been mostly $##% year for me personally and I'll be glad to see the @$$ end of it. Part of it being I've been sorting out family and health problems and have not got all the extra sailing in that I hoped for in my first year of full retirement. A situation I am hoping to remedy in 2017.

I note Mark has upgraded to a Sonata, good on you mate they are nice boat. A friend's daughter has as one and they love it.

I have a few pics relevant to the forum and sailing from WA that I will upload when I get around to it.

As I say every year ...the water is safer than the road. Take care.

Ozzie and crew.

Happy new year to you too ozzie, and to all here.

i have been out sailing,but have not been filming of late.
As you say 2016 was a crap year for me too. i hope 2017 will be better.

please get sailing guys life is too short not to enjoy it .

Happy New Year Ozzie, Atles and all
Looking at current events in the U.S. I could be looking for a liveaboard keeler and heading for the remotest part of the South Pacific to escape the nuclear fallout.
On that happy note.......

I believe some guy did that at the start of WW2, and ended up slap bang in the middle of the battle for the Coral Sea.

Aha
That would be just my luck.
Happy New Year Ian

Yes. Happy new year Ian , and once again thanks for keeping the the forum running .

I'm recommending retirement ...it gives you far more time to go sailing....or to see the doctor . So if you get there this year I'm sure we all would be more than happy to contribute to the cost of running the forum. Or even before you retire , just ask.

Cheers
