very very happy, page-10

Good guess Stone Pony!

Have been camping in West near the site of the Zuytdorp wreck. (1712).

Enjoying some abalone, crayfish and tender young wild goat - with a few oysters off the reef.
With a couple of bottles of Margaret River wine - of course.

Just too rough to spear fish unfortunatelly.

Great to get back to civilisation and get news that Anvil is performing to expectations.
Even better!
(Celebratory dinner tonight!)

Also that Ex Governor Bush is doing his thing to ensure everything goes well.

Now is that a good thing?
Or other? -------------

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President George W. Bush on Tuesday ordered that assets be frozen of dissident general Laurent Nkunda and six others considered by the White House to be destabilizing forces in the Democratic Republic of Congo.

Bush issued an executive order immediately blocking any assets under U.S. jurisdiction of seven individuals accused of impeding disarmament activities, violating international laws on the targeting of children, or violating the U.N. arms embargo.

The move came two days after a presidential election in the central African country, which is home to the United Nations' largest peacekeeping force. The vote, praised by foreign observers as largely peaceful and transparent, was meant to bring an end to decades of conflict and pillage that have left the mineral-rich country destitute.

Nkunda, a Tutsi accused of war crimes allegedly committed in 2004, leads a rebellion from Congo's eastern hills and is reinventing himself as a protector of all Congolese excluded by the central government.

Also targeted by the executive order was Hutu rebel leader Ignace Murwanashyaka, president of Forces Democratiques pour la Liberation du Rwanda (FDLR). The FDLR is accused of taking part in Rwanda's 1994 genocide.

The U.N. last year extended the arms embargo on Congo and introduced a travel ban and assets freeze on those violating the embargo.

Others named in the executive order were: Khawa Panga Mandro, former president of the Party for Unity and Safeguarding of the Integrity of Congo (PUSIC); Viktor Anatolijevitch Bout, owner of the Great Lakes Business Company and Business Air Services; Sanjivan Singh Ruprah, a businessman; Dimitri Igorevich Popov, general manager of the Great Lakes Business Company; and Douglas Mpano, manager of the Great Lakes Business Company.
