Newbie - Getting back into it

Hey all,

 Well it's been a loooong time since a soaked a line and with my Pop visiting from Tassie next week (who taught me most of what I know) it's time to dig the gear out and get back into it.

For those who might care, I used to work at Chivers and frequent FWA, and now work just round the corner from Ryan in a Riggers/Chandlery.

Always been into boating of all sorts but a bit more of a yachtie (que wind jockey jokes!) and with the business I now work for sailing has taken up most of my aquatic based activities.  Had read through FW a while ago and when I spoke to Honsu today he mentioned it which jigged my memory!

 

So after reading through the forums I'm planning to hit Hillarys.  I have 6 days off from Thursday this week so going to head up Thurs/Fri to scope the place out and then hoping there might be some good Taylor or Pinkies on Tuesday after the blow when I take my Pop out.

Any hints, suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!!!

 Oh and work wise I might have a bit to offer too!!  Don't want to tread on any toes so stuff that we specialize in that others around here might not do are S/S wire ballustrading, S/S tube, Epoxy and Polyester Resins, Plywood, Fibreglass Matting, Solar panels and were pretty good on advice when it comes to Fibreglass and Timber repair and building!!!

Not trying to hard sell or anything, just like to help out where I can!!!

 

Very willing to help out anyone who asks!!!!

 

Cheers,

 Rumblefish (AKA Ben)

Grew up in Tassie spending all my holidays cruising on the old mans 38ft converted Tassie Cray Boat!!

 

As I said, love all things boat like, well except jet skis!!!

 If I had the cash I'd have a Fury Centre Console with twin 175hp E-Tecs sitting in the backyard right now!!!!

Or a Northshore 650......or a nice big Cruisecraft.......... ;)
