It is quite good , to the point of wind tunnel type pics of sails and turbulence.
it was my total expiriance before I raised a sail.
(not that I know what I am doing now )
yet gave great insight to how and why .
not that I know any better, but I believe it's worth a look for the novice ,
and the adept.
only my opinoon.

Id say you would easily get a well paid government job as you can read and appear to be doing well and have so far lived a good life and made great decisions
Where as there would be thousands of public servants that other than take our money have made a mess of things

Yes it is ,
the cooktown library was very happy to accept it ,

He'd never get a Government job HGO2, he appears to have some common sense and a realistic view of the world around him, those two attributes would disqualify him for any government job to begin with.

A while back I did lots of temp work and every job meant a different super company . Why on earth could they not said get a card for every worker so they can just give it to the company they work for so the workers super money go directly to that company
Or some thing that makes this happen. even now its still a pain .
So one Super company that I have not use for many years has been taking insurance out every year $1500 reducing my super amount year by year
There half wits and are not interested in decent user friendly result other than there mates in the super game.
I can recall many years ago when I took out a private policy the seller took the first three years of my money put towards my super as a payment Pirates
Ill get off my box now

Welcome to the club HG!

I was in constant contact with Find My Super (or whatever they are called) for a fair while. depressing to see how the system just gobbles up funds unless you are alert!

It's like this .
one dollar that goes into super now is worth one dollar .
but after however many years till they let you get your money ,
if they don't change a law and make your money theirs.
its not going to be worth one dollar any more.
inflation!
and somebody you don't know who don't give a rats about you is in control
of your future.
take a look at what happened during the gfc!
we all counting on making it to be able to spend it.
they raise the pension age so they hope we die before we get paid !

Just shut your eyes and take what your given!
masses like asses , they take what you've got and you get what you're given!
but hey I didn't even do year ten , so probably just don't understand?

True that it could be worse.
just really hate obvious double standards.
why was the last forty grand pay rise for whoever else justified?
bastards are traitors.
selling out our children's future.
some of the most well paid parasites on the planet.

But now I M giving the impression of an opinion?.
i do try for the most part to just live,
and let the world pass me by.
i as one man May insite thought but everyones actions are thierr own .
and we all must own our actions .
or their meanings are lost.

I was at low island and had one circle my boat about four times !
and down south of Palm island I had three follow me for a time .
its happened before , I think it's the size and shape of the boat.
hope they don't get all exited and amarous.
