no photos
thats because they never took ME
i usually have the camera in hand ????
gee lee
here i am getting the trailer modified so as to tow the cat up the beach ... i might have to do a rethink,, what kind of trouble would i have been in with the cat at the blow...you said you un hitched at least 20 times .. the cat would be still there
bugga .. fishing at tempest was to say the least "hopeless"??
6 trips now and the average cost per fish to date around $110 each
firetruck if you still want the rod and reel ....

Gees lee !
Bet you'd be able to back up on a tow ball with your eyes closed! [smiley=drunk.gif]
Seems like everyone had their fair share of dramas though.

Take me one time Lee and I will show you the easy way to do it - through the bar!

Havn't had a good look at the Fishermans chanel yet smithy,
but with those westerlies she was pretty flat on the way in on sunday.
and could see a boat coming through that way.
If you could send us a couple of waypoints for both sides of the chanel that'd be great.
