Next Boat Rally - 10th Feb

[Chris Ryan]

Guys,

Sorry for my quietness of late. I have been interstate for work and now off to Sydney as I have a very ill 98yr old grandmother that I must visit. I won't be back around now until Thursday but please ask Lucky_Phill for anything you may need, he is my right hand man in this.

Thanks
Chris

That's not good at all Chris. Hope all works out for your grandmother. You know I worry about the fact that you have taken on so much too Chris with the new baby. work, and all of this for the boat rally. Your health is your greatest asset and if you burn out you can't go back from there. Take it from an expert. SLOW DOWN!

Well I think this is going to be our biggest enemy on Sunday. Fine fishing weather finally. Hey Phill if there is any way possible to plaster the site in the general section, saltwater, boating, etc etc with the message to forgo fishing just this once and put in an appearance at the rally perhaps we can target those members who don't look in this section of the forum? Check out Seabreeze.

Poodroo,

Seabreeze is now suggesting Sunday will not be to flash out on the water!

Hopefully there will be a good turnout at the rally!


Cheers

FYI, BAT, Moreton Bay Marine Park extends to the north wall of the Seaway, so YES, you are already affected.

Phill

Thank's for that peice of info!
That's the ocean side right?. At the moment.


Cheer's BAT

[Lucky_Phill]

Nope.... that is both the inside and outside. It starts at the seaway nth wall and makes it's way across the channels to Paradise Point and then encompasses all water north of there.

I am still looking for 2 marshalls to attend the Pinkenba Ramp on Sunday.

Even if you are landbased, could you help out at the ramp and then drive to Newstead park for the event and then return to the ramp afterwards and assist again.

Hi Chris,

Considering the potential number of boats that will be there on Saturday and the necessary distance required between anchored boats, it may be difficult to hear the address in the boats. Is it possible to broadcast the address on a UHF channel so that we can all tune in and be able to hear everything said? The rally before Christmas was difficult to hear at times more due to the traffic noise but there will still be other noise around on Sunday.

PS What ever happened about the prize draw for those who manned polling booths on election day?

Hi people,

In relation to the Rally on Sunday.


After the rally has finished and you have returned to the ramp and are ready to make your way home, you are invited to attend a post-mortem at the following location.

Paringa Rd, Murarrie. Once entering the street continue along until you take a Right hand bend that goes over a creek and rail line. A further 150mtrs on the Right Hand Side of the road there is plenty of parking for cars with boats.

The post-mortem will be held to discuss the days events with soft drinks and Goldies to be provided, so take advantage of this to find out how we stand in relation to our next moves and we would also like to hear your views, opinions and ideas.

Below is a map of where we’ll be. IN RED


See you there.

Phill

[PinHead]

might have to stop in there Phill..and see what the consensus is.

stuart29.

The PA system that will be in place will allow speakers to be heard across the river. It is L O U D...... Further a VHF channel ( and 27meg ) , not UHF , are adsvised on this thread to assist with people anchoring, moving etc.

It is very possible to tie up to other boats there as the current will be heading out and the use of fenders ( life jackets is what I use ) placed between boats stops any damage/ rubbing.

OH. and the rally is on SUNDAY,, stuart.......

see you there.

Phill
