 Supp Y'all, it's Gill's  birthday this saturday (she's 24) so happy birthday to her.  We're going to go to blue  mountains next weekend which i am really looking forward to. I  forgot to mention that last week we rented (well Alan and  Jean [flat mates] did and we crashed the party) a small boat, to  drive/sail around Sydney harbour. The weather was smashing when we  set off but by about 3pm it started to get cloudy and the seas  started to get a little rough. We made it all the way past the  Opera house (some really nice views of the city-harbour  bridge-opera house) which took us a good 2 1/2 hours despite the  lady in the rental office(shed) telling us we could drive the  length of the harbour in about an hour (yeah right !!!!.. not with  a 6hp engine). We stopped at an unknown beach to have food and a  much need pee (due to beers being had while sailing). We then made  the long trek back to the rental depot .. but not before, Alan  decided to play chicken with a buoy and not turning (hilarious  stuff obviously) and nearly getting run over by the biggest tanker  I have ever seen in my life (a police boat had to tell us which way  to go as I coudn't figure out which direction the thing was  going. We finally made it back at 5pm (4 hours sailing in all) just  before the rain started. All in all it was a really fun day and  well worth doing….. Sailing Sydney harbour….Thats one more  thing off my list of things to do in life (imaginary list therefore  no link). There are images but Redbrick still haven't  installed ImageMagick so  I can't upload any new photos yet grrrr!!!!!. On another note,  check out   Suse 9.0 Pro, this is the OS I will be exclusively using when I  get set up at home.
