G'day All, And thatz all 200 plus people (wow) that R now reading the Blog! The mix of Face ache and Blog seemz 2B working well. With many subscribers linking to the blog which isn't as thyme consuming as a "you tube" channel. many have tried and failed becoming slaves to You tube and especially Patreon.
While you tube loox gr8 it's a lot of work to keep producing content.
After much work in 40 degree dayz we have managed a hybrid mix of the old railing plus lots of new welded sleevez to bring the safety railz back to a pre damage state. but with 40 degree dayz itz thyme 4 a bit of "sanity" and do the job in the cool of the evening.
Itz now thyme to put a crew together to visit the Montebello's over the Xmas, New year break! I'm thinking 2 or 3 towed boats and a crew of 4 or 5 to enjoy the best of the islands with both the mothership and the smaller vessels. Many days of fishing the shallows for trophy phish!
Problem No 3 solved !
That fact aside the Yot is still suffering with a busted Port Motor (No cooling) despite a new impeller and a new sea strainer being fitted. It now seemz the culpret iz the Exhaust mixer elbow, with lots of cooling water leaving the engine but not much going through the exhaust header So I may of finally found the problem! Problem no 2 solved and we now have a working cooling system. And that means a functioning port motor.
The full moon iz cre8ing massive 5 meter tides and unfortunately I slept Too long and the tide came in (a long way ) and my ropes cut clean through the rear Stb hand rail doing much damage on the way. long story short I kneed a new hand rail to make the Yot once again safe.

Job done but only temporary. We will need to weld the rails early in the new year once the work pressure iz off the Ali welding guy up here.
So itz thyme 2 head out into the islands for a few dayz and a trip back to Karratha to pick up a few ebay packages B4 xmas.
Problem No 3 solved !
With a group of m8z coming aboard for a trip to the Montee's towing 2 jet ski's. leaving after Xmas and coming back after New Years. Lots of enthusiasm with a group of 6 coming, I hope we can all Gel.
I can't pull a trick at the moment!
Now itz the turn of the generator to go on strike. The motor runs fine but no electricity iz being made. This meanz no Air conditioning which is not pleasant with daythyme temps hitting 40 and nights not much better at 30 degrees. Of course itz impossible to get an electrician between Xmas and New Year. Luckily the jetty haz power so I can run the still for a top up of Fellixxer!
