last saturday we had fine intentions of getting up early and going fishing before the wind got up, as it turned out we slept in due to a big night with friends over for dinner the day before.
we arrived at the boat ramp just as the wind blew up to about 15kts! then the boat had a flat battery so I had to get the one out of the troopy and change it over, having fixed that problem then i started the motor and discovered the steering was seized! a quick bit of bush mechanics had that issue sorted and we were off!
no joy with the fishing though, far too windy and the fish were all sleeping in too, kai and his mate mouse voted for a visit to the granite islands so we motored across to the granites and pulled up on the beach, we were joined by john & his dad who had slightly more luck than us having bagged a tuna.
then darryl and nicole & their kids rocked up in their boat so the kids were dispatched to play while we drank beer, ate mudcrabs, portugese chook and a platter of anti pasto.
with that the day was rescued and everyone was happy!
