Wrong day for a maiden sea voyage
After waiting 5 months for boat to be delivered I'm itching to blood the decks. Two weekends and weathers been crap the whole time. After reading the forecasts on the net I interpreted a gap in it this morning and talked the missus into it last night.
Got up at 5am got the boat ready, and launched from Ocean Reef at 7am. Missus no impressed and it was the worst looking 10-15knot winds and 1.2 m seas I have seen. Had to come back before she is put off fishing/boating permanently!!
Weather seem to only clear up on week days! It is like a cruel form of torture.... Picky is from last week's run down the river.
Fisheries were down there this morning doing there checks which is good. Councils also cleaning up a heap of smash bottles some fwits mush have smash on the road in last night.

I was going to go for that
I was going to go for that weather window thismorning also but wife convinced me to go to Freo markets instead. Took a drive down south mole and that 8-10knot window was nowhere to be seen

Last Friday was good but I
Last Friday was good but I put it in the river to make sure it wouldn't sink first. Maybe should have had a crack on Sunday... Pretty happy with boat just need to catch the fish now and make sure I don't turn the missus off by taking here out in shite conditions with the center console.
Right move with the markets Swompa

Had to laugh. I could just
Had to laugh. I could just imagine my missus out this morning. I've had my new boat for 6 plus months now and the missus still hasn't stepped on board yet. I don't know if that's a bad thing though!

The boat looks a ripper
Wise decision I think not to push the boundaries in awful weather.

Nice choice, I water tested mine in similar conditions, loves it haha! Blood wont be far away. Is that the 615? What Suzi u got on it?
I am, as I've said, merely competent. But in an age of incompetence, that makes me extraordinary.
