So who is 007

[007]

I’ve been lurking here for a while. I have learned a lot of good stuff about Sea Ray boats of all sizes and had some good laughs at some of the things posted on this site. I would probably have never posted, but for the unbelievable attitude of that wingless fellow!

I am an Antipodean living in Hong Kong. My 210 was made in the US to my spec and shipped out here. It is dry stacked at a private marina about 5 minutes walk from my apartment with a bunch of 240 and 260 sundecks, a couple of Crownlines, the same number of Cobalts and - the odd man out - an X10.

Another reason I keep lurking here, apart from the lessons and laughs, is that my dad lives in VA so I know a lot of the East Coast areas being discussed. Dad has had a Bayliner, a couple of blow boats, a Sea Ray and now has a 34 Mainship that he bought to do the Great Loop as a retirement project.

I will go back to lurking - keep up the good work.

Imagine my excitement, learning we've got a Antipodean in our midst.

There is always a need for subjects from the southern hemisphere to conduct experiments on the Coriolis force effect, so imagine my disappointment from learning you are an Antipodean to those living in South America.

But all is not lost, please engage your contacts in Australia and New Zealand to conduct this test and report.

Thank you.

Welcome 007. It's easier just to ignore the trolls. How much are you paying for fuel these days in HK?

Welcome to the board 007. Enjoy the club. The problem trolls will get bored when people ignore them long enough. Again welcome to the club!!!

The problem trolls will get bored when people ignore them long enough.

That's as contrasted to the "good" trolls.

Welcome 007,

Where do you normally boat? Many years ago (1981?) I had the opportunity to do some sailing at the HK Yacht Club. I remember that it was located on the harbor side of HK Island. All that sticks with me is that we had a he@# of a time trying to not be run down by containerships.

007, Please post pctures as we'd all love to see one of the ports most of us will never make it to.

Welcome 007. Ignore the typist behind the "Wingless"

I agree, that would be very interesting.

Welcome 007 - I'm new here, too, but I second John's suggestion. Some photos of a place that I'll probably never see in person would be a nice diversion.
