Hey Ivesy next time I'm up there I can pop over and help out with the computer stuff if you like. Sounds like a good excuse to catch up with a few beers!

Been out from Batt a couple of times, some Nannies drifting but no Emperor.
I think I'll be looking mainly south for new ground, maybe down towards Pellow and surrounding reefs.
My cus sends me pictures from Cooktown, they don't have to go far out and fill up on Nannies, Trout some Emperor and Macks. etc.

Hey moffy love those pics of that boat on the water if those scamps went a bit quicker I'd swap it for my Haines I reckon. So many pics through my old mans photo album of those great boats anchored up at hope island for the annual trip they used to cop some floggings the old 14fters coming back in a roaring SE ahhh gotta get back up there this year. What happened to it to rot out so bad? My uncle has just finished restoring his although his was only a minor job just sanded it up and repainted it definently a great dive vessel.
Hey bunny how's it going dad said your vessel is fully restored now too I think? I worked out how to post the pic finally haha like a monkey trying to decipher hyroglyphics I will have a go later at trying to post that wreck footage up. Yer if your ever up here drop round for a chat and have a look at my pride and joy which looks like its rotting on the inside too hmmm.
As simple as the floor not being kept sealed mate and it not getting a re-coat under floor as often as Barry did with his (Bunny's) - the bottom sheets were rotted out about 3/4 of the way through the 2 x 1/4 inch ply sheets where water sat and the sides were rotten along the line of the floor. 2 pieces of the 3 piece chines were very soft/gone in places - so i just kept cutting/digging/chiselling until i had sound wood to work with and have fixed it all up (hopefully....) - thought it would be a quick repair initially...........should be all good soon though.
plan on getting it back to Hope Island (with Bunny in his) one day.

Sounds like a big job mate, nice work. If you need a third boat for Hope Island I'm keen!
Should make a M&G of it
Just need to plan it to be calm enough to get there!!! this wind is crazy.
Absolutey! Hey, anyone using buoyweather? I use Seabreeze as a general (rough) tool then go straight to the BOM wind map, but if buoyweather is worthwhile I'll take a look.
Cheers.
And when I'm home from work, it's gonna be slim pickings trying to make a date lol :s
I use willy weather, looking at the tongue reef wind and when the arrows are green it's good enough for me. (15kts or less)
Friday looks like the go. I snuck down the Mulgrave this morning. Cold but managed a little barra and Tarpon
starting to gear up for those big black things Scuttlebutt?
Actually went out chasing the LITTLE black things today. Had 3 bites, hooked one, had him on for about 5 minutes before he jumped off. Probably about 30kg.
guys anyone get out over the weekend? We went out yesterday conditions were ok early inclose but out wide was blowing a solid 15-20knots was pretty rough going there. Got some nice fish thoughtaken spearing.
cheers
