(or the old git's 'philosophical surfboard')

Terry

As Fiona seems to have collared the actual log writing duties, I have decided to publish some deeply held views that i have had time to ruminate on these past weeks since we sailed..  You will notice the non-nautical nature of most of these.

Some of you will recognise the format. 

I hope that you can contribute to the lists.  Drop me an email to join the debate.
