    "I recommend supporting Australian owned boutique cruise company True North. 36 pax about the right amount." My younger bro has done a couple of trips with True North and it is expensive but as far as he's concerned, well worth it.
    If I had his bank balance I'd go with them as well.
    We've done a cruise with one of the bigger ships up through Asia and it was quite enjoyable. But, the food handling in the café was shocking. Grub cooked in ovens then put out to cool before being put back into the serving warmers ....... just right for the breeding of all sorts of stuff.
    And I caught a stomach bug which saw me lose 5kg over 2 weeks...... maybe I should go again. :O

    And weren't they stunners too , why would you want to go on your own when you can go with a scantly clad female.
    Was it Judy Green or Belinda Green , the 1 who was usually hanging off his yacht in the knitted bikini.

    Only reason I watched his adventures on TV.

    I’d rather take my chances aboard the Titanic - in its current location - over one of these infested floating ****boxes.

    A few flights and longer stays at some similar destinations is far better than floating in a metal cage waiting for gastro, flu or a SARS virus.

    Carry on, you seem to know all about it. My interest is piqued.
    If you don't like trucks, stop buying stuff.

    To toss a black fish in, while look out Port or starboard or life bouy sentry i did at times see amazing lights which I assumed in my dreams were floating luxury hotels. They were mostly sheep carrieres which if even 100km downwind fixed my confusion or dreams when 17ish
    Honestly I would love to sail a small boat all over the world but do ponder the big mysteries of booze and food now known as floating petri dishes.

    Suspect the Coivid19 vaccine if ever will restart the huge floating candles. I might even try one myself

    Saw a piece on tv today, the prawning fleet have left Karumba for the Banana season. Come back for 6 weeks after the banana season, for the Tiger season. All systems go , they expect a bumper season. The fishery starts at Cape York, and ends at Cape Londonderry, W.A. and only 12% of the fishery is fished. The Banana season coincides with the southern toothfish season. What had to be done to get them to sea during this COVID-19 is impressive.

    I’m pretty sure the dinosaurs died out when they stopped gathering food and started having meetings to discuss gathering food

    A bookshop is one of the only pieces of evidence we have that people are still thinking
