2.30 in the morning and the wind picks up from a steady 3 knots to an every direction changing 50 knots of disaster. So strong 1 of the jet ski's broke itz tether line. luckily it waz blown away from the yot 2ward a patch of reef and sand. Not much we could do at the thyme it waz purely a case of cross your fingers and see where it landz, It waz easily recovered after the storm fukkd off and the sun rose to illumin8 the beach behind the yot.
G'day All,
Galleycat has returned to Dampier after 4 days of relaxation (wkoa) on a very different trip. For a change the crew didn't want 50 kg of phish filletz to take home. which iz just as well as we caught fukkk all fish with the exception of a nice trevally and an even better coral trout however these came at a cost as we lost 4 lures on the trip. We trolled unsuxcesfully after realizing that out of the 4 lures we had behind the yot for 25 nautical miles none of them waz working with 2 hopelessly tangled on a jet ski and both the otherz having weed on them! A waste of thyme, fuel and energy but once we sorted that, the fish began 2 arrive.
Not 2 many but as I mentioned this trip wasn't about fish, none the less with a bludger trevally and a nice coral trout falling for the now cleared and maintained lures. We had fillets and sashimi fillets just not in the quantity I'm used too.
As usual we ate well with all meals being hungrily demolished.
Caesar salad and thai glass noodle salads were the stand outs.
Despite the tropical storm the weather gods were on our side and even during the heat of the day the crew managed to float around in the 33 degree water behind the yot, lotz of flotation toys. From jet ski's to a child's sized floating mattress.
It waz interesting to once again catch up (technikly) with the younger generation!
Face ache, You Tube and Patreon control peoples lives! Thatz why I left in the first place. I have a problem with window faced envelopes. And they never stop coming, unless you leave the system behind.
