If off topic is ok your little piece reminds me of something. Years ago I used to race dirt bikes. Any body that did was poor because of that. But one practice day down in Nowra a young bloke turned up with the newest n best of everything. Got talking to him n he mentioned about his boat. I'm thinking typical rich kid. He used to go out n catch tuna n sell direct to Japanese restaurants. Tuna r big fuckn' fish =big dollars. All illegal of course.
