CURRENT MISSION

To successfully Barbeque a dim-sim

ABOUT ME

Spontaneous, outdoorsy, music loving, sometimes tree-hugging, friendship valuing guy...that about sums it up.

Pretty much all the references here are from back in the day when I (and my awesome housemate at the time, Steve, lived in a kick-ass apartment in Melbourne...things aren't quite the same anymore).

Just so you know...I live on an old yacht (Claudia). She's 35ft long, so not tiny, but there are things you should be realistic about if you want to stay (which you are, of course, welcome to).
It is pretty sweet but just as a heads up:
- I live on a mooring which means taking the dingy (the very short) distance to and from shore each time you want to come and go.
- Sometimes living on a boat is small, damp, a bit un-flattering...usually it is awesome.
- The space is limited, but we can sail my house anywhere cool and the sunsets from the deck are pretty ace.
- As lovely as she is, she isn't the sort of yacht you would see Hollywood star sauntering around on...just in case you had that illusion.

PHILOSOPHY

Do fun shit.
