Pa Pa Hello There My Bear Well what an adventure you are having. I have to say you Mum & I are very proud of you & are bragging to anybody who will listen. I'm glad things are sorting themselves out on the ship. It's always a pain at first to get the personalities & routines in order but after that it will be breeze. You Mum is giving me a very hard time about not writing & I thought to myself, well I'm 'My Daughter's Father'…… ha ha…… Like you I let Ma do all the writing… A bit slack I know Things at home are going along swimmingly. I'm just about finished with the Trinidad fellas… It's their last day today so then it's back to the office and a bundle of paperwork to look forward too….. NOT….. This Saturday I'm off to the Rugby with Tony Dennis to watch Wallabies vs Springboks… I think we'll get our backside kicked but it will be good to get to a game as I've missed the last couple of Tests in Perth, being away so much in previous years… Mum & I are trying to organize a quick trip to Bali for Mum's birthday. We'll leave on a Thursday & be back on the Monday. I'm just trying to juggle all the sea trials & deliveries. It's really super busy at work… Not mention I'm trying to get to Exmouth in mid Oct for the Billfish Bonanza Fishing comp with Andy Campbell.. I'm still chasing that Bloody Sailfish… Mark my words; I'll get one of the little blighters…. Eventually….. Please don't worry about writing to me as I read your Mum's mail….. I know how hard it is to write to everybody when you're away & with such limited time to yourself…. In the end it can turn into a real pain so please look after your Mum & Sister & your scaly mates… OK…. I've been doing well at Basketball. I'm not sure if you know but I play twice a week. I'm having a great time…. At the minute I'm averaging about 8-10 points a game…. Yes the old boy still has it…. However the fouls & trash talk have also increased….. Two weeks in a row I've got 5 fouls…. What a dirty player your father is…. Bad Daddy…….n I'm even telling the young whingers to 'Harden up Princess'…. It is soooo much fun…. Anyway must run Love you more Pa xoxoxoox
