I spoke with him a few months back, something about sailing his yacht down the coast..........might have been a long holiday between gigs. Don't recall what was next.
Month on month off - plenty time to sail boat & enough money to buy new winches along the way.
It is known as semi-retirement. Work a while to ease the boredom, travel a bit, spend the money on winches (and wenches), work a while, repeat. For as long as there is a demand for that sort of thing and the body and brain can do it, why not?
Beats the hell out of the old folk's home.

GB, absolute gent!
The line pilots loved him, the management...hmmm, not so much.
As has been said, a dead straight shooter, and I'd work for him again in a heart beat.
Think he's left HL now, don't know where to, but if he sails by Cairns, i'll be insulted if he doesn't drop in for a beer! Alright Gordo!
