Hi, Kat!  There's no need for that.  I was just being facesh ... facetio...
faceech..  Damn it!  I was just being a smart-ass!  :-)

I don't know!   There was originally talk of a Cairns NEDFest, but it sort
of fizzled out.  But now that Hugh's here in Oz - and Ralf -  we're not
letting either of them leave without a look at the Great Barrier Reef, (it
is, after all, one of diving's icons!) and the Coral Sea.

A few of us were considering organising a live-aboard trip in the latter
part of the year.  Probably in the November period.  Although I have my own
ideas on preferred vessel, (TAKA II!!!<G>) we haven't yet got to the point
of deciding definitely on either a boat or the date.  It would, however, be
great to have you along, if you were in a position to make it to OZ.

What dates suit you?  (And bear in mind that the Coral spawning usually
takes place a few days either side of the full moon in that November
period!)  :-)
