They normally retrieve ALL in one day but they had a few issues. One FAD was snagged and burnt up over 2 hours on trying to unsnag but the chain snapped. This issue and another one also i think ment PGFC has left the two most northern FADS out there until later this week/end of the week with better weather!
So if you missed out before then here's a lucky break (pardon the pun)....a few extra days!
The winter storms cransy realy play havock on the FADS and they can/do lose em. The funding/club cant afford the loses so they bring them in before the storms. I agree its too early and one more month would be ideal but when they've tried that it went pear-shaped so early it is!

I've heard tomorrow
I've heard tomorrow unfortunately
I'd be surprised if they could get them all in on one day though? Hopefully thats the case as it looks like sun/mon might be pretty damn good weather.

Damn. Bit surprised they can pull them in that quick.
Ok, who wants to put in to save one of the FADs. I think we need to raise $5k....plus a FW sticker, lol

Ryan, I am up North now
But why do they pull them in. Surely the winter storms arent that destructive!!?
Just asking.
Might love it up here in Karratha but Mandurah is still home and so is Perth.
