Much appreciated
Yes thanks boys. I had seen the speed limit between Quarry Point and the Causeway. I can only assume from what you all say that upriver from that is no speed limit.
Keep cool and enjoy the fireworks those that are going. Give me a hoy if you see us on the water.

That was my understanding as well, rossco21. Is it worth a fish on the way, or do you guys just soak up the atmosphere? I guess there would be plenty of families on the water mixed in with the dickheads as well I suppose.
Have a great night everyone, Ill be up in Dampier eating Red Emperor wings!
