G'Day, Huw.  Thanks for that, mate.  It was driving me batty trying to
recall who wrote it and the full text.  Now that I see that it's nothing to
do with salvage I'll change the article to smuggling!  :-)

Give Kat our regards and tell her that we're looking forward to seeing her
in Oz before the year's out.  Also tell her that Ralf's keen to do a GBR
trip in late March and that - because I expect to be up in Cairns again by
then - she might want to join us.  (With Ralf's bouyancy skills and my
impeccable navigation, Kat may want to consider this carefully!)  :-)

I can't wait to read the report.  :-)
