staying right away from the show, too easy to spend money we dont have, never been to one so maybe next time we will be better off

I will be down there

Wed, 2009-10-07 22:56

I will be down there Saturday morning. Probably a good result that the extension on my mortgage hasn't come through in time. Could very easily pick up a LeisureCat with the spare $100k I don't really have.

 

As long as its better than the Perth one I will be happy. See you all in the drinking tent, I will be the one with a beer in my hand.............

The best food was sit-down

Sat, 2009-10-10 17:49

The best food was sit-down in the clubhouse; $13.50 for a beef burger.



I was super impressed with the ride on a RIB I went on, but then its only going to be a dive boat =0

I went down Friday, warm and sunny. Very nice day out. Two boats caught my eye, the Ocean Whaler and the 5.5m Surtees. So tempted to go for the whaler.
