It was easy as shit. me and old mate went down to the marina and just sat there smoking and staring at fish becuase the gate was locked. then this bloke came over and enquired as to what e were doing, I told him what the go was, and we talked for a bit. it turned out we grew up in the the same small as town and. he said he'd take us out if we just got our own food, learnt how to sail while we were onboard and cooked. so we dumpstered heaps of food, stole some more, bought some goon, and of we toddled. we ended up being grotty yachties for like 2 weeks and going to all these mean as island and snorkeling, and he constantly got me blazed and tuaght me how to sail.
good on ya Simon!!

second experiance. trying from darwin (Aus) to indoneasia, found a bloke named haggis who said we could ride if we fixed his boat. spent nearly 2 months fixing his riging and puting up a brand new boom and all (learnt shitloads).
then 2 weeks before we were going to leave a cyclone sunk the freshly sea worthied boat.

Judge cancels Hawaii to Washington garbage shipments until lawsuit ends

Tuesday, August 31, 2010, 12:01 PM

A federal judge in Washington has issued a preliminary injunction barring shipments of garbage from Honolulu to a landfill near the Columbia River in Washington, making it increasingly unlikely that Hawaiian garbage will be shipped to the mainland.

On Monday, U.S. District Court Judge Edward Shea issued the injunction barring the U.S. Department of Agriculture from permitting the shipments until a lawsuit filed in July by the Yakama Nation and environmental groups is resolved.

A Seattle contractor, Hawaiian Waste Systems, had won USDA approval to ship up to 150,000 tons a year of baled and plastic-wrapped Honolulu garbage up the Columbia Gorge to the Roosevelt Regional Landfill in Klickitat County. The USDA withdrew approval in mid-August, saying it needed to conduct further study.

But Shea wrote that the Yakama, Friends of the Columbia Gorge and other groups are "likely" to win their argument that the USDA failed to adequately analyze the environmental impacts of the shipments. Those impacts include the potential introduction of invasive insects and plants to the Northwest.

"(T)here are serious questions relating to whether the (USDA) sufficiently analyzed the impacts that the shipment of Hawaiian garbage will have on the affected Northwest area, including the ports, routes of train or truck travel, and the Roosevelt Landfill," Shea wrote.

Honolulu, strapped for landfill space, is expanding a trash burning plant and considering adding more landfills. But expansion could take years, and plaintiffs in the U.S. lawsuit say they want to stave off any renewed effort to ship trash. ]]> Other forms of travel cranberrydavid http://squattheplanet.com/getting-there/other-forms-travel/4812-trash-barge-hawaii.html Hot Air Baloon? http://squattheplanet.com/getting-there/other-forms-travel/9634-hot-air-baloon.html Sat, 28 Aug 2010 20:36:40 GMT If you look up online hot air balloonists in your area find a number to get a ride and instead ask the pilot if you can help them crew. Then you can help them set up the balloons and take them down and learn a little bit about them and then get into piloting. Hot air balloons are a bitch though. I've been working with them for about 7 years and it takes a lot of people to get them up and take them down. And the you have to be careful of so many things, like the weather, if it's too hot, or to windy, or not windy enough, or if the wind is heading the wrong direction. And landing is a pain too. You have to find a huge spot for them, I don't know if you've ever been close to one but they are HUGE. And you don’t want them snagging on trees or anything. So if you really want to think about investing in it I would recommend you start doing some crewing. ]]> Other forms of travel misstinavicious http://squattheplanet.com/getting-there/other-forms-travel/9634-hot-air-baloon.html longboards http://squattheplanet.com/getting-there/other-forms-travel/7935-longboards.html Fri, 20 Aug 2010 04:03:35 GMT I love my longboard, it's probably one of my favorite things to do. I did just start so I'm not that good at stopping but apparently as everyone says its funny as hell to watch me fall especially while bombing those hills. Being able to go so far with hardly any pushing is so nice too, especially on the flats.

Call it walking, hiking, tramping, trekking, or whatever, it's the most natural way for a human being to travel.

I prefer to go alone though. It seems like when you have a partner they're either slower or faster or have a blister,and you never hit your stride. But when you're alone your body soon finds its natural rhythm and speed, you fall into a trance, and the miles just fall away.

Mountain roads suck though. I don't care what the maps say, it seems you always end up with short line-of-sight and no shoulder, jumping over guardrails with a 500 foot drop below to avoid getting hit, and not even any place wide enough for a car to pull over if you stick out your thumb.... ]]> Other forms of travel cranberrydavid http://squattheplanet.com/getting-there/other-forms-travel/9954-finding-side-roads-safe-will-get-you-there.html How many tolls can one avoid? http://squattheplanet.com/getting-there/other-forms-travel/9642-how-many-tolls-can-one-avoid.html Wed, 21 Jul 2010 19:28:45 GMT was it an in-state toll? here;s the shield dealie: Toll Free Protector Licence Plate Shield for Cars and Trucks - Photo Radar at Radar Busters (http://www.radarbusters.com/photo-radar/license-plate-shields/tollfreeprotectorforcarstrucks.cfm) was it an in-state toll?
