family day in the bay

[nofrills]

howdy all

how goods this weather .so far out of my 4 weeks holidays the only wind ive copped was at 1770 .but thats ok cause i needed some quality drinking time 8).
i took the wife and kids out in the bay on monday and the had an absolute ball.except the wife who did some serious hurling over the side lol lol .she did however have the good sense to hide the camera before doing so.What would make her think i am so insensetive 8).

any way it was a top day and its funny the things we take for granted that facinate kids.like the size of the ships , the stinky bird poo on the channell markers,and the fish schools choping the surface.We went to tangalooma and when we arrived my 7 year old asked me how come you cant wash the ship wrecks ? when i asked what he meant he pointed to the sign saying 6 knots ''NO WASH''.
we even managed a couple of schoolies on the way over so they were pretty impressed to be taking dinner home.
heres a few pics

How far north did you go to find the macks? I went as far north as mud (was in search of the mackeral supposedly off saint helena) but only saw one school a couple of k's north of Peel island

Timmy aka ''Ding'' with his first ever fish.

seeing as the boat was dirty allready,i thought it would be silly not to duck back out yesterday morning and managed a schoolie and a nice spaniard.so the kids are all happy cause now the get to eat again
