Shambie!
I was down for 10 days the beginning of December. Things got hectic before we left, so I didn't get a chance to look for folks down there to hook up with. But, I also had no idea you guys were down there as well as up here! I'll definitely try to look you all up next time I'm down there.
My wife's folks live in Melbourne, so we visit there from time to time.
Hopefully your 18 is not completely like mine, as mine got hit during Frostbite making the starboard hull a write-off! Haven't finalized repair options yet...
