Have recently moved down to Melbourne's more reasonable climate from the steam bath that is Brisvegas, with boat and Hobie in tow, I quickly found the politics surrounding the insanely busy boat ramps in the Melbourne area just tiresome, so have now sold the boat and decided to return to the much more fun and infinitely less stressful kayak. I've spent the last few weeks preparing the old Quest to be reintroduced to water (she hasn't been used since I purchased the boat) Things like rewiring and installing a new sounder, replacing all the control lines for the rudder, fitting outriggers (i'm not a small person if I end up in the water I need all the help I can get to get back in), and also removing all the things that I should never have put on there (and filling in the associated holes
). I also spent a lot of time organising how to load the necessary fishing and safety gear without feeling overcrowded, I think i've got it sussed, but obviously when I finally get out on the water i'll realise that it's all completely wrong
I haven't decided where this first trip is going to be as yet, ant advice would be greatly appreciated, I had thought about the weed beds off Sorrento for Whiting (one of the few places I took the boat)
Anyway thanks for reading my ramble
