All Boat Business today
Took the boat out for a pot check and quick dive today after the wind was playing nicely. Started heading out to find my GPS was on the blink and driving blind. The pot got a miss but the sounder was working so found some ground, dropped down and kept working on the underwater hours.
Then the drama when i got home - after going over the basics myself without success, who the heck is going to look at my boat with next to no notice this time of year.... OH SHIT! Early next week is looking SO good too!!!!
Called ABB and they told me to bring it down and we'll see what we can do. Spoke to the boys at the desk after dragging the boat down and got the cold shoulder of - "sorry mate, really busy! Check with service but not likley as EVERYONE'S boat is urgent"... yeah - great!
Saw Andrew who's in charge of the service Dept and not only did he make time for me there and then without blinking, but got his Garmin tech onto the job. Hour later, the Stabi is sitting at home waiting for 48 hours time when this wind is goneeeeee......
Key message here - VERY IMPRESSED! Well done ABB!

yeah - it was a desperate run
yeah - it was a desperate run too. Woke up late, looked outside, swore at myself for sleeping in, chucked the gear in and had to be back before 11.30..... but it's always worth it!

yeah - me again. On the way
yeah - me again. On the way to or back from ABB. No BBQ but fisheries thought it was too. They were gonna nail me for no fire extinguisher! It's actually the bait board/kill tank/live bait tank. Pimped ride this fella. Great for the squid when you head out deep

I would never put Fishwrecked stickers on
My boat.I have a hard enough time staying one step ahead of people as it is.
It is becoming a pain in the ass being the skipper now You have to think about all the normal stuff like the sounder and the drift ect as well as keeping an eye out for certain boats that make a sport out of pinging you.A few of them are not who you would expect either.
So tell me have you got your info from years on the water or hours on the internet?

Good to hear ABB looked after
Good to hear ABB looked after you. My old man is booking his boat in there (hopefully this week) to get the motor sorted out. Hopefully the service is just as good for him. I'm sure it will be though.
I fish for the future - Cause I can't bloody catch anything!
