Two stand out for me:

1) A brown snake swimming strong 2 km off shore!

2) Getting buzzed by three fighter jets at low altitude - the first flattened me and the trailing two must have seen it as they waved their wings as they went over - probably laughing hard!

Wow, they must have been low for the jet wash to do that!!

Flying fish !!!!

In the southern ocean sailing back to Perth from Melbourne I saw 2 water spouts about 20km off our bow. That was pretty cool, but as we went along a pod of +300 dolphins was exiting the immediate area. the Pod stretched over about 500m roughly given there wasn't much to judge distance by out there.

Moored my yacht off Garden Island. Had a nice party on the beach and came back to the boat, climbed the ladder at the back to find a big python coiled around the hand rail! Nearly had a hart attack b4 realizing was a python! was pitch dark!

today, a door

strippers on a houseboat

Funny you say that...my brother & I were fishing in the Murray River 2 years ago from a tinny and I spotted a topless 'lady' walking around the deck on a houseboat only about 50 metres from us (fairly common sight). Later, when we were about to head back to camp, she called another couple of guys in their tinny over & kept inviting them on board. From a closer perspective she was a bit 'very-ordinary' and looked like she'd had a big sesh (as in months) on harsh drugs.

My brother & I decided to stay a bit longer to watch the show unfold. The other 2 guys were related (uncle/nephew), single guys and were camping not far from us, one about 30 & the other about 60. The 30 y/o kept saying "no thanks", but we could clearly hear the 60 y/o saying "c'mon, it'll be alright" (he was keen)...and she was persistent & kept doing some wierd 'sexual' motions & flashing them her 'nether regions'.

After about 5 mins of negotiations, we saw this old dodgy (drawn-out) looking guy wander out from inside the houseboat, bong in hand, beer gut and just wearing a thong. The 2 guys started their motor straight away & took off whilst the banshee stared screaming after them "F*N P**FTERS" "A**HOLES" etc.

I nearly fell out of the boat laughing, and back at camp...the 2 guys copped it for the next few days although the older guy still reckons it was an "opportunity missed".

It wasn't floating, but today at the lake in Canberra, where we launch in an easterly, there was a pair of Lace top stockings and a pair of black panties in the grass.

Disturbingly ... When I got back in to pack up the panties had gone !

had a few :

dugong came up right in front of me, I nearly **** in my boardshorts thinking it was a shark

was going full speed when I hit a turtle that had just surfaced, at first felt bad for the animal thinking I might have injured it, then cursed it when I saw my fin was gone and had to swim 1km to shore

wind had dropped so I was slowly sailing back towards the beach, spotted a large turtle, then a fin and then a shark ripping a fin off it.... kept my feet real close to the mast and started blowing in the sail...

through the years saw a few funny boards with footstraps, fins on each end and a handle in the middle, drifting along, couldn't be bothered, they looked too small.....
