couple of things.
Hit the water yesterday and went to rotto to check the pots. Got a few crays so this was good.
Went for a cruise around tommos, and saw the police boat (the big one) doing convoys of boats out towards parker point??
Then saw a fisheries boat doing another convoy?? all leaving from tommos bay, maybe 15-18 boats at a time.
Anyone know what that was all about??
Spotter plane was up and about yesterday and today, doing laps of rotto.
Today saw 2 flares go off in tomo's bay?? whats the penalty for setting off a false flare?? anyone know?
Today was a great day on the water, got our abs, got some crays, got in for a dip.
Managed to hit a nice KG with the straight hook which was a bonus!!

Training
I'm pretty sure it was for people who have boats but weren't to sure of themselves heading out to rotto, like a convoy training type deal.

it was to do with the annual
it was to do with the annual Rotto convoy for boats 5m +. Pay a hundred dollars to register, go over in a convoy and all the way you learn radio skills, flares boating etc. The flares may have been a demo which they do to show people how to use them. Apparently they stay overnight at Rotto, have a quiz or bingo night them head home the following day.
The Kimberley....perfect one day and more perfect the next!!!

They did one the week before
They did one the week before as well, had a convoy of about 10 -15 boats come into parkers do a u-turn and head off to the next bay, they had 3 volunteer boats, front middle and back looking after them. Its a really good idea for those people that are unfamiliar with getting into reefy bays, some yacht clubs also organize a yearly thing like this.

Just got back from a dive
Just got back from a dive over there, forget diving in less than 10m it was berried female after berried female after berried female - 5 in a row. I gave up and looked for whites then.
A little deeper is better ATM.
