G'day all, Is it just me or haz the world gone completely Bonkers!
Everyone I speak to is struggling with life issues so much so that I feel for them as my life seems to B on track for a change. The yot is well underway with preparations (wkoa) for our journey to the Kimberly's. The massive task of painting the rear deck area of the yot haz begun and I'm slowly getting on top of the maintenance with just the air x wind generator and 12 volt freezer waiting for repair.
I've finally managed to contact my good mate Kenny in Townsville with the record floodz they had he lost both his cars and all his work tools plus most of his machinery under the house.Sorry M8!
At the same thyme everyone I know is dealing with marriage or relationship bust ups. Many nights have been spent talking to friends on the phone and learning just how much everyone is struggling to make ends meet.
At last the big "wait" iz nearly over with Brad arriving on Thursday to celebrate hiz 50th Birthday with a trip to the Mary river and itz legionary Shady Camp Barramundi fishing. While the yot itself will only be moved to the mouth of The Mary several smaller boats will be fishing the 35 km stretch between the mouth itself and Shady Camp. Finga's crossed Brad gets his big barra and we can then concentrate our efforts on offshore fishing which I prefer over chasing barra in the muddy river systems. Crabs will also be on the menu with a massive push to catch a few big buck crabs.
Once our Mary trip is finished (not swedish) it'll be back to Darwin for a major re-fuel and supply run enabling us to leave Darwin behind and head towards the WA border and the famous Kimberly region(Evette). There iz still lotz of work 2B done on the yot B4 we leave as we need to complete a hull survey so our insurance can be renewed. While the yot is parked on Fannie bay beach Brad and I will take the opportunity to clean the props, rudders and hullz of barnicles and oysters which have grown of the hulls during my wait for the end of the cyclone season.
Itz 3am all aboard are asleep after weex of planning Bradz 50th trip iz underway!
