Maturity is not when we start speaking BIG things,it is when we start understanding small things
yeah they would be laughing at that. They should confiscate their boat for 3 months for a first offence.
I wonder what happened to the prawns??
I intend on living for-ever....so far so good
Sounds like a admin style error otherwise I think they would have gone for a lot more $. That said it is the responsibility of teh master to have copies on board and to check them so ( well used to be) not sure what the excuse or reason would be and I wonder if he ha shad to rebuy a lic ??
Perhaps someone in the area can add some details as teh news report is pretty low on detail.
