long day on the ocean

long day on the ocean

we started our day meeting at 230

convoying with mates adam an tom to try some ground between esprance an black point :)

we blew a tyre out about an hour an a half into our mission an our spare having minimal air 

in it letting us only creep until we arrived in the next town which conviniently had the air hose 

an compressor left on. we got to the ramp put our boats in an got prepared for a wet 18mile ride 

in strong easterlies. 1/2 way to the spot my motor decided to pack up on one cylinder leaving us 

running on only 2 an crawling the rest of the way there.

we ended up with a pretty decent bag for our efforts 2 queenies 6 nannies an a nice dhu
