Comments

OK so now the ocean is more than chilly. Still no 'bergs in sight though. And apparently the Melbourne Cup has been run and won, but we're under some sort of embargo and won't find out which horse/jockey combination won until dinner this evening. The Aurora Punters Club had $1, $5 and $10 sweeps running, which were well subscribed. Last night our CHINARE travelling companion gave us a talk/video presentation on their Basler aircraft, which included some lovely air-to-air footage. Field training enters its last day. CPR was recycled once again at 1300. All going well out here.
Regards, Doug & Andrew
