Wooohoooo, we're on! thought I'd reserve this space for a report - finally!!!!
The Fraser crew from 2007 is getting together for an onslaught!!! Yep, Foxy, Birdy, Swano and another mate Brad from the Norval trip with me, we're heading to M'bah shortly to head probably to the Cal wide area - we'll see what the swell is like out past Pt Cartwright and make the call then.
Excited???? Yew Bet! Just hope to boat hasn't forgotten how to find and catch fish!!!! Man it seems so long - poor thing - I'm sure it was starting to think nobody loved it - longest time out of the water since Dave built it!
I spent yesterday tidying a few things up with bit of trailer maintenence - repaired a couple of flat tyres - can you believe it? Don't things go off when they aren't being used...lubed up the shackle bolt. I had drained the fuel tank a few weeks ago and cleaned it out cause she'd been sitting so long so I went and fueled up with a tank of fresh fuel - 240 litres later - I'm glad we got in before the price hike...primed the motor, kicked it in the guts, fired up no problems - ahhh jon Eadie's service a few weeks back has her in fine knick! What? no tell tale - its been that long out of the water a critter had made it's home in the tell-tale pipe! Cleared the pipe. I even vaccumed it out!!! Cleaned and polished the clears and screens. Lovingly repacked all the things on board, life Jackets, safety gear, maintenece box and tools, set up the rods, got them - I remember I've forgotten the landing net - I'll take care of that in a moment. sEt up the GPS, had to wait a good 5 minutes for it to locate the satalites, they have moved so far since the last time it was fired up, got the sounder in - can't wait to see the structre and show on it. Any fIsh that wanders under the beam is in T-R-O-U-B-L-E!!!!!!
Woo-hooo, hopefully we'll have something to write about tonight!
Picking the crew up @ 3.00am from Caboolture
Dont't forget the landing net!!!
Cheers
Rhys
