Bored? Cold? Wish you were on some tropical beach?

[1feral1]

The next best thing is www.coastwatch.com.au

Live beach cams here in Australia. It will make you feel warmer at least, or depress you maybe, ha!

Enjoy.

Wes

She's rotting at dockside in Bridgewater, NS.  The original plan was to have her serve as a museum, but the organizers have run into money problems (amongst others), and she's apparently in very bad shape now.  So much so that land owners in the area are complaining about the unsightly appearance with the rust and all that.

There's a nice set of pictures of what she looked like when she first arrived at Bridgewater at http://www.pbase.com/kiml/fraser.  I'll see if I can dig up a more recent picture and post it.  It's a real shame - I served six months aboard her in the early 1990's.

Ah Wes, the weather may be cold in Canada, but the sheilas remain ever so hot!  Especially on this night of NYE!! (did I get the Aussie terminology right?)

 

[1feral1]

You did!

Happy hunting.

Try some Aussie foreplay - 'Brace yourself Sheila!'


Cheers,

Wow... that's my old mans ship!  ;D

As for the other places they are still kicking around. I always visit those forts on the weekends off. Nice trails there.

Thanks Wes, now I have to ask my doctor for an increase on my prozac. I'm depressed

Damn Auzies, they have all the fun.

I do hope a big, big iceberg from antartica floats past Australia and freezes your britches!

I dont know about you Wes but i'm struggling in this weather. I spent today with a couple of mates, sitting in a pool, drinking beer, watching the cricket and avoiding the heat on another 40degree day. Leave is tough.
And like you my suntan is starting to leave me, one strip at a time. Another tough day tomorrow, more sun (40degree's of it), more beer (slab&a half of it) and more pool. I've really got to slow down. This hard work will kill me.

Scoop snow for me chaps! Remember to stay sun-smart and apply lots of sunscreen. Either that or just wear another Artic jacket and keep out that cold. Goodluck!

 

[armyvern]

I'm still waiting for the Aussies to buy me a round trip ticket to come down there and partake of wobby-pops with them.

Oi Oi Oi


Brrrrrrrrrrr.

 

[Rodahn]

Ah, but out here on the wet coast (oops I mean west coast) there are those that are having to mow their lawns..... I must admit that the down side of being here is that we don't tan, we rust.......

OK!......Now I know you guys are lying to us and feeding us a line.  I understand you are having a cold snap right now, with temps ranging in the mid 20's.  ;D
