sucks

Mon, 2012-03-19 17:22

would be a terrible position to be in,strong wind outside at the moment. hope they are found alive and well. just the thought of being the diver in the water or the buddy on surface looking for your mate gives you a very sick feeling inside, wouldn't want to wish it on anyone. Best of luck for them

I'd have been stressing about not making it in before nightfall! (or at all)

When asked by a non-fisherman 'how many fishing rods do you really need?' the correct answer is either:

n+1 (where n is the number of fishing rods you currently own); or

n-1 (where n is the number of fishing rods which would cause your significant other to dump you.

Whitfords got the call to assist with the searcg about 3.30pm. Given the conditions in the afternoon I was wondering why they where out diving at that time. Was blowing about 25knots most of the afternoon.
