Swains Trailer Boat Trash Trip

[Horse]

We can just sit off the stern of Buggys boat and that should take the sting out of the seas. Its that "dreaded" NQ chop. Lucky we don't have a cat hey Kerry (Mister). I've already bought my beer, salted and cryovaced 10kg of Mullet fillets, vacced down 3kg of snags and spent two days trying to fit two tons of gear into one tackle bag. After all that effort we have to give it our best shot.

Wouldnt it be easier to just get bugman to tow you out there? Would save on fuel....

Yeah but I'd need his boat to be the fuel supply boat for mine. She's thirsty enough as it is !!!!
It will be interesting to see how the cat performs in the dreaded Nth Qld chop !

Or put us up on a pair of davits out the back. Bretts right about plenty of protection out there. Its just the run to and from that's hard going. I might have to sneak a beanbag onboard so I can sleep through it

well I'm with Neil, just bought my BEER & WINE for the trip, have the boat ready to roll, so as Neil has posted lets give it ''our best shot''
Cheers

It's all well and good being worried about a short period chip, but at 0.5m they are ripples!!!
