    Boscoe we have all sorts of problems hanging upside down but we manage.
    We have to wear seat belts in our boats so that we don't fall out.
    And we have to plug all the vents in the fuel tanks so the fuel doesn't dribble out.
    Battery holders need to be very secure or they just fall out.
    Space downunder is so full of stuff that has fallen off down!
    Don't have problems with pants falling down, they fall up. Peeing is quite challenging!

      Maybe that is why your speech is so different. Gravity affecting your vocal chords differently and all. And maybe the coriolis effect has something to do with it. Doesn't the water going down your toilet bowl turn the wrong way?

      Only peeing challenge (other than going to much due to my years) I have experienced is if and when facing into a stiff head wind. Learned not to do that.

      Over and out from here up over to you down under.

          Barrier reef is fabulous. You can do the Capt Cook voyage.
          Whitsundays are fabulous (70 something islands).
          I've been around them a bit and want to do a bare boat charter there someday.
          More adventurous you can sail around Australia.
          I know someone who travelled ($7m motor launch) from Melbourne to Darwin and back, spent $20,000 on diesel.
          Tough conditions at times(see Sydney To Hobart yacht race).
          The only joke I make about our yachties is they tend to use their outboards to often. Was on a waterway anchored the other day when a floatilla of sailboats were using only their motors. They had a wind behind them that could push them equally at the same speed but they chose not to use their sails. Go figure there were no other boats for miles anywhere.
