MUCH FISHING, MUCH TILING IN W.A !!!


 G'day All,
                  Townsville haz been left far behind, and I've landed back in Perth. That hasn't stopped the cyclones from finding the Yot though. With Cyclone Ita giving the Yot a serious farewell to the season.
Lots of rain and winds around the 100km mark made life difficult for those left in the yard.
While I jetted back across the country I got the opportunity to view many of the reef systems from far above. On my return to Townsville many of these reef's will receive a visit from the Yot with a few now plotted using fotografs and google earth.
First order of business upon my return, FISHING!
Mick and I managed a couple of trips in the first week while Big Ash was holidaying in Borneo with the Family. He was only back in the country for 26 minutes B4 he rang to tell me we were going fishing the next morning.
With the winds expected to rise after lunch and a 4 meter swell running we shot out wide onto my snapper spot and with only four drops we had our limit aboard.
So it was thyme for a leisurely ride back to Cockburn sound  and notice the sun is setting over the ocean as itz supposed too, unlike over the other side of the country where things are a bit arse about.
Everyone has fresh fish for the Easter break an a few lucky individuals even got fresh crayfish as well.
The main porpise (little dolphin) for this visit is the tiling.
Just 1 week in, an many of the rooms are underway with the splashbacks in the kitchen area just needing 2B grouted.
The biggest job of all is the porcelain flooring and the alfresco dining area's, these will be a challenge but with a huge bathroom and equally large powder room I've got enuf area to hone my rusty skills on B4 the major area's are begun.
Big Ash will be here on Tuesday so I can take a break from Tiling to install 20 meters of limestone retaining wall and fencing. Just to keep me busy.
The retaining wall is now finished!
So it was thyme to take a day off and head out for anutha fishing trip.
Big ash, Mr Mick, and his mate Peter joined me. 
We had an awesum trip with Mulloway, Grey Banded cod and Sambo's joining our limit of Pink snapper to make the day complete!
However a stop-over in the shallows near Rottnest added a 120 whiting to the tally as well, So the trip was rather special.
It seems as though life in the burbs hasn't changed much with everyone expressing the same gripes on their lives and wishing they could have my life.
Go Figure!
Thatz it for  this entry as I've got many new fotoz and stories to add so I'll  bid U farewell and begin this weex update from here.
Ciao 4 now
