Top shelf Gary. Thanks for the sharing of some top shots. Was going to go up there as well, but thought about climbing Mt Coolum to stay away from the crowds, but from the News footage look to be 100's up there as well. Thanks again Gary really enjoyed them.

Interesting day , worth the wait & the hassle at the boatramp to see her go down .About 1/2 an hour to get in the water , and once back at the ramp , about 2 hours to get back on the trailer . 1/2 an hour of this was floating around on the water at the ramp , waiting for an opening on the beach , them the other 1 1/2 hours , in the jam up ever so slowly inching the car & trailer towards the ramp.

Boy there were some boats out there
I'm posting a couple of photos , not the best quality but may help in the overall view of the sinking .

A late geday to all the other Ausfish guys & gals who were out there with us , especialy the crew in the White Haines that I was talking to , anchored just behind us . ( sorry guys I didnt see your Ausfishers stickers untill we were leaving )

The first photo shows some of the spectator craft & the Ausfish White Haines on the left hand side .

One of the firework type flashes that were only for show that went off just before the real explosions .

Geday Gary ( Spaniard_King ) ,
Catch up with you next time .
For those who werent there ,the photo doesnt actually show how many boats were on the water . You had to have eyes in the back of your head , just to see that no one was going the either drift or run into you
