Note the Coles chiller bag was the choice for handing over the money safely. 🤣

After a 2 month deployment the ship would have all sorts of currencies. Would take hours to tally up the final bill. 🙄

The most I’ve seen was USD$1.5 mil laid out on the CEO’s boardroom table. Another foreign navy payment a few years back. That’s a lot of loot.

That’s AU$145K from memory.

Not the most of all time but the most recent. Foreign navies pay for husbanding services in cash, well used to. I flew back from Samoa in 2007 with $250US. Declared in AKL and BNE and customs had no idea what to do. They took photos and waved me through.

Mmm, Dark MoFo feast in June is pretty epic. Hobart based. Gotta go to Stanely if heading NW. My favourite town in Tassie.

Just an incredible story all round Garth. Terrible on so many levels. Being stuck in water as well all that time. Thoughts for all.

Yeah sorry, what ferry’s are they mate? 👀
