You could have picked a better AUSSIE beer to display Paddy lol

Heath

Lol. Yeah but Boags is not internationally known Heath.


Yeah = yes. I thought this might help non English language country people to be able to speak as bad as we do. This is meant in fun so please no one take offence. Ya can't take the Aussie out of an Aussie the same as you can't take Uncle Sam out of an American or the Maple syrup out of a Canadian. :australia: <----- Best I could do I am afraid

PS. Nice DF 33 you are building Heath.

Randy's health is getting better and he has started to get the boat ready for painting.
Take it easy Randy and look after your health.

Things are happening in California. Looking good Randy. I see 2 riggers in amongst all those parts.

Two different sponson types too.....looking good. So, will it be an Aussie theme paint scheme to celebrate Australia Day??

Yup Scott. red, white and blue. Southern Cross in the blue and a red lion from the Tasmanian flag on the nose. I think you are looking at two riggers there. I think the oval one might be going to Melbourne.

[Scott T]

Sounds good, looking forward to more progress!

Randy's spray booth is getting crowded. Randy the thing I hope most about these pictures is that they are showing us your health is much better.



This will be a red Lion in a blue circle that goes on the nose of the main hull. Thank God it is not a red sheep because I can imagine Douggies comments if is was.
Basically the boat will represent the Tasmanian flag and it's name will be "Southern Cross". The day it arrives will probably be the start of my next divorce.

Correct. I do not think she will believe the old "it was a gift from my mate Andy" story this time.

Paddy, the paint scheme looks great except for A LION...not a TASMANIAN DEVIL?

The Lion is in a lot of ENGLISH chararactures...The shame of it all!!!!

Andy, phone for the guys with the white coats.

Douggie, send that lion of your to the dentist... it has a serious "underbite" problem.

Douggie I agree with Taz Devil but this is our flag....

That is one sick looking Lion but as you said it is not an English animal so it is probably what the English thought a Lion looked like. I guess back then the English thought they were King of the Jungle. They were not doing too bad until the Americans invited them to the Tea Party in Boston It reminds me of that song about how they loaded up their squirrel guns and fired once more and the British began running down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico.
With that I am off to the lake to kill some ducks with my Xs 2. I have orders from Andy to go set another Tasmanian record. Because I am the only FE boater here it is not hard.

Hi Paddy, how are ya...

[Xzessperated]

Hi Paddy, how are ya...

Hi Jan,
Doing just fine here. Getting excited as Randy is starting to paint the new rigger.
I need to retire and go boating everyday but I need the bucks.
Off to the lake Jan. Take care and talk with you soon.

Ah, now I understand. In the flag rendition the lion seems to be pointing his finger at the Union Jack...very subtle. For Europeans it may seem as two fingers. Damn, you Aussies know how to say we love the motherland in your flags. Canada has a maple leaf...interpretations please
