Where as yachts if something goes wrong, they sink and the passengers could be rescued via a lifeboat. Good read though.

The membership is around 50K, and does offer some discount on the facility. The Astro is new and yet to explore it's capabilities, Raewyn is there, I am overseas and yet to play with it, home in a few days and will play with it then Corey,

Can't really figure out what your lifetime membership cost but it looks like your paying around 175.00 a month for the slip on top of your membership? what's the weather like? are you able to get VOIP on your astro satellite? So many questions.... Looks Awesome! I have been looking into where you are and it looks amazing!

It reminds me of a quote by T.H. Lawrence ( of Arabia): " All men dream, but not equally. Those that dream by night in the dusky recesses of the mind awake by day to find it was but vanity. But the dreamers of the day are dangerous men for they may act their dreams to make them possible". You are dreamers of the day and you have always acted your dreams. It is what I most admire about you. Enjoy, you deserve it! And you better be careful issuing invitations -- Australia is not so far away that we couldn't take a short break and take you up on it! Ha! Thanks for keeping us in the loop. Take care. Don and Toni Man, you guys are living the dream — but then you have always been living the dream! It reminds me of a quote by T.H.
