Re: A very lucky man
Hi All, Yes it does get pretty rough out past the headlands, also the wind, particularly from the East funnels through the valleys.

A very lucky man
Hi All, I work down at Wilsons promontory national park, and just on knock off tonight we got a call to get the Parks boat out to rescue a kayakker who had gone missing off Norman bay. Apparently he and a friend were going to kayak over to Oberon bay to meet up with other friends who were hiking ove...

Re: Bought Something new wanna share it? Post it here
Just picked up CrazyChenski`s revo that he had for sale today. My missus wanted a yak to use every now and then, and wanted "one of those pedal ones". Guess I will have to use it regularly so it is kept in good working order for when she requires its use.

Re: The first time I went fishing was......
The earliest I remember is, like Digger, in a putt-putt my dad and his mates from work hired. I remember a few trips, some from Frankston, some from Mordialloc. We always used to get flatties and couta, enough for a decent feed anyway. Went from Mordialloc with some mates from my work many years lat...
