Well it is the first day of the hook up and the sun is shining and out our back door there is hardly a breeze.
Out comes the computer to check the forcast which to our surprise it is sort of looking ok at this stage but hate to think what it will be like later on in the day.
Owen, Curt and Ian are all holding there heads as they indulged in a little to much of the Pure Blonde's last night and I am sure that if it had have been the real deal they would be pretty proud of themselves being in the condition they are. Poor Owen he is just not a big drinker and I would have to say this is the worst I have ever seen him but rain or shine this is the Hook up and they are going fishing.
It has come to the time for around the table discussion on where they will put in, will it be Gladstone and out to Rat Island and if not to lumpy go out to one of the wrecks or put in at Boyne and go out the front. This conversation is going around and around and neither of the other two know what he is talking about (Brisbane/Gold Coast) I don't believe Owen does either. This is going to be a long discussion just to many choices.
The boat is packed and they are still debating which way to head, all in the car and off they go, ............ nope brakes on Owen jumps out of the car and is now looking for my zapper thing for sea sickness, this is not looking good. I am sure they are not going to have to make up burly this trip, I think they will have it on tap and on demand. Hooray finally fish for tea.
