New dinghy-and big thanks also

Finally got down to collect the new chariot, and struck a few problems with the trailer (common theme!).

 

BIG ups to Charlie at Cockburn Boat Storage for the loan of some tools I didnt have with me and also for being exceptionally easy and friendly to deal with!

Also to Paul G for the offer of help which in the end we managed to sort ourselves

And especially my good mate Harry for providing a driveway, equipment, bed and a handy drinks fridge til we got it properly sorted and I hit the road to Gero tonite.

 

Justin at Portsea handled the freight, the whole deal was a little out of left field as I generally do stuff ass about from everyone else!

But we got it here, its at its new home and now Im attacking the paperwork (keep the beaurocrats happy) then onto tidying the boat up.

After that the trailer will be next-formulating a plan for that!

Now-when can we fish at the islands again

 

Plenty of lightening around Jurien!

 

More to come later

Its quite "enthusiastic" shall we say with those eggbeaters.

Hey Rob, that's a flash looking rig.....what are its vitals??

We could have squeezed that baby in my new boat shed!!

Good luck with it and I hope it serves you and your family well and keeps you all safe while you're on the water.

Cruisecraft 685, banana bender built for export to Europe/CE in 05/06. Twin DF115 suzuki.

Needs some repairs such as lighting, Lowrance transducer, a bait board, anchor winch and probably replace the trailer.

Not many of them here in WA but there are a few.
