I'm still techincally on a PC ban, so here's a quick update. Went to my uncle's for a fishing trip on his boat... Photos below and an excert from the captain's log.
Hi from Captain Bob,
I bet you are sick of hearing from me but I ned to keep you informed.
The day started badly with terrible rainy weather but Captain Bob used his meterological skills to asses the conditions and decided to go ahead with the planned voyage. Nephew Cameron and his wife Vanessa looked forward to an exciting day with Venessa out to catch her first fish ever. A big responsibility for Captain Bob. We had a perfect start except for the outboard on the little boat. Captain Cameron (in training )
took the boat to the hole in perfect conditions. Hardly any body about and we anchored on the spot. Bites were hard to come by and Vanessa missed a good fish. some little snapper were caught but all was not well. Out came the secret weapons, the tins of Sardines in jelly and over they went. Vanessa was focused and rewarded with a nice Cod(her first fish ever)She only caught it because we brought out food. Things were quiet with turtles everywhere after the Sardines in Jelly.
More food and more fish would come. Sure enough Cameron brought in a big flathead of all things. we tried drifting but no more bites so we headed home as the sky blackened.
A smooth trip home and Cameron use the Satellite Navigation on his phone to pinpoint the hole and measure our speed and distance travelled. The Raven was cruising at 10km/hr and the hole was 7.3km from Redland Bay.
On arrival back home we took a picture of Cameron and Vanessa holding their fish but Vanessa screamed and dropped hers when it moved.
A great day and how much longer can the Raven keep going before it plays its next trip.
Signing off from another great voyage-Captain Bob.
