I am chastized and wounded to the very quick. I was complaining about the failure of the English language to properly express the magnitude of the options that were presented. Sort of like I can fly first class from Chicago to London on a 747 but I can also fly first class to Gatwick on an Airbus. And now I am the grammer gadfly???
As for "loving the spot Scott", a Spot is a fish found in the Chesapeake Bay that are known for the croaking or drumming sound they produce by resonating their large swim bladder. I think Scott is more Missouri, ah what are they called, well not spots, and I would not comment on what he does with his bladder or your affection for him.

I think Scott is more Missouri,
Scott is more Hawaii and spot is what we think of as a dogs name (eleo) or what an englishman calls a small amount of or in hawaiian "iki nui"

On Edit, Scott IS IN Missouri, Scotts heart is in Hawaii.

Sorry Bubba haven't been watching this thread, where we will be going this year there will be heaps of crocs, thats why we tow a 12' aluminium dinghy.
They can still tip it over but it feels safer with the higher sides and besides when we are there in the winter they aren't nesting so are fairly quite but they still come over to keep an eye on you in case something is hanging over the edge.
There are plenty over 5m long and they are right up the creeks in the mangroves but not many in open water but you certainly don't camp on the beach.

Why do I think there is a Speilburg movie waiting in the wings? Or a Peter Pan sequel with a bunch of crocs going tick tock to a rap beat. Camping with Crocs - no thanks, our biting flys are more than enough. :) :) :)

We have the little biteys too in fact it's hard to find something that doesn't bite or sting and most look so harmless (except the crocs).
This boar thought he was safe out of the water.
