Nostalgia pics
Sitting around bored this morning so thought I'd throw up a couple of old pics, hope you enjoy.
This was my first ever Dhuie, was invited out on a boat by some mates who were doing work for the general manager of Wesfarmers at the time. Just after that shot I spewed my guts up the hardest I ever have. The deisel fumes on that boat were atrocious
This shot was taken at our old Leman shack. The Dhuies were all handline caught back then, ended up with 5 that day and one unstoppable one that spat the hooks
This was at a mates place in Broome. We nailed it trolling for Threadies that day and man do they taste good
And finally here is my old babe, my Pacemaker Calais. She was a beautiful,dry boat and never gave me any trouble, we dived and fished off her for a few years mainly out from Leman.
I reckon they had one of the best ever hull designs going at the time. Hope you enjoyed.
Love the West!

I am, as I've said, merely competent. But in an age of incompetence, that makes me extraordinary.
