The Arafura Sea lies west of the Pacific Ocean overlying the continental shelf betwen Australia and New Guinea. Who knew so many Seas out here?
The Pleepmeister endears himself to the crew and once again he is escorted from the kitchen. His picture is posted at all work stations on the ship- on the VIP List. Initially he was very pleased to be included on such a list. But then he was told it was the special VIP List- VERY IMPOSSIBLE PLEEP.
Pleep is also banned from taking the stair case.....he said he was just helping keep the rails nice and shiny.

THE HUNGRY AND THE THIRSTY
We attended Chateau Tanunda's Dinner with the Andersons and the Jones. Hosted by Mr. John Geber, owner of Chateau Tanunda in Australia's Baroosa Valley, a majestic Bavarian-style chateau and in its prime the largest winery in the Southern Hemisphere, built in 1888. While Chateau Tanuda won the World's Best Shiraz as well as the World's Best Red Wine with Grenache poor Mr. Geber didn't know what he was up against with our Dr. Wineology, Larry. Who knew a Reisling could taste delicious? The revolution in wine making in the 1970s firmly established dry wines made from international grape varieties on the Australian table. We learned Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc and more recently Viognier and Pinot Gris are all popular over here. Australia's benchmark red is Penfold's Grange, the creation of the late vintner Max Shubert. Due to his work SHIRAZ (one of Pleeps favorites) has established itself as Australia's premium red variety.AND A GOOD TIME WAS HAD BY ALL. CHEERS!
