Quote of the day…
If you have a talent, use it in every which way possible. Don’t hoard it. Don’t dole it out like a miser. Spend it lavishly like a millionaire intent on going broke. Brendan Behan, quoted in the Illawarra Mercury Source: Wit & Wisdom, The Week 29 May 2009

Batman’s boat on Sydney harbour?
I kayaked from Rose Bay to Watsons Bay on Sunday. On the return journey we were approached by this beast… “WTF is that?” my friend and I announced. Batman’s boat it is not… it turns out this is the super boat used for Earthrace. In June 2008, the amazing Earthrace vessel set a new world [...]
