Let me explain. After not getting out on the water for around six months or so due to work commitments and other less pleasant events I decided to hit the Narrows today see if I could snag a jewie. I know what you're going to say "the tides too big blah blah....anyway I was desperate to get out. Prepared everything last night up early at 0400 off at 0430
.The road is quite good some corrugations but not too bad. Managed to keep to a steady 70kmh.....could have pushed it up to 80 but not having driven the road for such a long time took it easy
.Anyway get to the ramp and first thing I saw was a group of eight drunken
bogans 
wearing high vis wear...shirts I recognised as belonging to some of Inpex's contractors 
. A few were too drunk to wake up themselves as I pulled in..their mates had to wake them up as they were sleeping on the road in front of the boat ramp.Backing the boat down the ramp to a chorus of
drunken comments I thought "let's get the hell out of here". 
.Well getting out to unhook the boat I noticed NO WINCH handle...the damn thing somehow snapped off (must have developed a crack) on the corrugated road. Well this development spurred a volley of smart arse laughter
and comments "leave it with us well look after it for you while you look for your winch handle". Yeah right..Anyway I decided seeing how I was on my pat Malone and was expecting to come back later tonight I had better just turn around and go home as retrieving on yr own at night with a current running with no winch handle is no mean task.
Anyway time for another winch....the another assault on those jewies....
or any
