my oldest boy in the sound today 18/10/10
my oldest boy,
fresh from getting his skippers ticket has taken my dingy and my 4wd for the first time down to launch of the beach at cockburn sound, just to have a bit of fun with the rays, turned out to be an eventful day for him and his mate..
gave him my hand held gps with a couple of spots marked in close so the could get some skippy/hearing for me for bait.
when launching the fisheries have come over asking about a dolphin with some net wrapped around his tail, they found the dolphin and whatched while being rescued.
then they have seen a baby whale jumping around a bit out in the channel, no sign of mum though.
later on, while out having some fun with a couple of rays they got a bycatch of a 51cm pinky(pussy holding it with a rag) and then the shovel nose.
i must of trained him right as everything was released to swim away healthy.
even the 4wd/dingy come back ok.
very proud of the the oldest, starting to get out there by himself and do his own thing, looks like the dingy is going to get used a bit more from now on.
but he has got f/all chance of taking the big boat out by himself.....for a long long long time.
cheers ron
