username change
gidday all-decided a little while back to change my username "smash" to my own first name and initial. Picked that username in a hurry when registering over a year back. Not even sure why as I try not to smash things, cos it costs money!
Anyhow as I enjoy this forum quite alot (and get a bit out of it) I decided a bit more transparency was in order and hence the change.
Probably have ta watch the old p's and q's somewhat now but still there are a fair few others on here using their given names and its always seemed a little unfair to be disagreeing/debating with someone using their real name while posting under a "non-de-plume".
So-in a few days time (after I get back from the islands again :-) I'll delete this text, smash will commit cyber-suicide and there will be a new FW member!

Gun Island
the guano jetty at the Southern Group, Abrolhos.
This is where the Zeewijk shipwreck carpenters built another ship from the wreckage and took all the survivors back to Batavia.

havent heard that
but it may be one of the 2 Zeewijk sailors who were caught "friggin in the riggin" and marooned on one of the other islands to die of thirst!
Read "The Wreck on the Half Moon Reef", great story but even better is "Marooned", about the Vergulde Draeck (Gilt Dragon) and Abraham Leeman.

I had to look twice because the setup including reels is very familiar.
