ORCV Melbourne to Stanley (M2S)

Da plane. Da plane...

It's Fantasy Island, of course and Ricardo Mantalban (L) with Hervé Jean-Pierre Villechaize (R - and who had the line) are your actors....

So Boss. If you want to book the bus for the plane... Please let Tony know on 0428 563 228 or Sheryl on 0448 129 292. Da number for da plane is Rex's Call Centre on 13 17 13. Da Plane departs Saturday night @ 1640hrs and then Sunday times are 0830, 1320, 1640 and 1820hrs, so only five flights over that period.

Sheryl Robson also reminds us that Telstra's coverage of the area is best. My Optus does work on the hill and in front of Hursey's Seafood, but not too well elsewhere. Should have seen the position I had to get the computer's wireless BB in inside my room in the pub!!!

"Breakfast for the yachtes will start at 5am till 10am, Sunday and the local paper, The Advocate, should be there", so please support our pals from Stanley, if you're still there. I wonder if there will be that fantastic chowder they used to make, as they threw another bit of Tassie Oak on the fire....

As a complete and utterly useless aside, last time I caught Da Plane out of Wynyard, the race still went to Burnie and as I looked down at The Paddock from my window seat in the turbo prop, I remember thinking OMG, love a bit of kerosine canary action when it looks like that!!!
