....Sigh.... the Suez Canal. A parting of a great Sand dune, whereby on the Egyptian Side, Palatial Mansions adorn the Canal border with azure swimming pools. Bought by Government Officials whilst the majority of its civilians along the Nile enjoy home comforts that Jesus was familiar with 2000 odd years ago. And here on the Eastern Side - coil after coil of razor barbed wire. Add a bit of wind, the canal back fills with flour grain sand to reduce its depth. Add a bunch of casual, lazy Port Officials (who only board the Vessels at set Meal Times) and failing to regularly dredge said canal. Plus! add an Ambitious (but probably a non-Suez Max Container ship) into the mix then it's only asking for a disaster. As witnessed.

Looking 400 years ahead whats really required is a 12 lane Super Highway from China through to Turkey and onto Europe. A futuristic Silk-Road so to speak. I don't know about you, but I cant seem to get enough of the Chinese and Japanese Goods. Or quick enough! Someone just say Yo-Sushi? Yay! Yo-Zuri!

It's the same with some big name tackle shops in the USA reporting supply chain issues. And then theres issues with manufacture, and logistics. Many lures are out of stock in various sizes. And then your looking on eBay - but being held to ransom by some of the prices. Things will return back to normal. Fingers crossed.
