Geeez . . . . . Still nearly a month out from the trip and I'm alreay slobbering like a kid in a lollie shop. Good to go this time GC.

All clear on the work front and thumbs up from the Minister for Fun and Finance. Reels are going in for a service this week and who knows . . . . . . . . might be a good excuse to get that Shimano Twinpower 6000 for the new jigging outfit!

Had to bail outta the last 2 trips, so have some catching up to do this time!!

Dunno about you blokes . . . but as far as I'm concerned . . . . . . . .Let the countdown begin!!!

Lots of people "want" to go there but most will pull out due to the distance... same on most bigger trips.....all keen until they have a good look at what is needed.

5-6 boats would be fine.... 10-15 would be too many IMHO

i would have to agree with 2rods. if the convoy gets to big it will draw way to much attention to you all

and considering that we dont all have our permits displayed on our windshields and certian people are doing us favours that are not totally above board

, i think we need to be a little carefull

Dodgy looks to have found a way to get the fuel over there AGAIN

We are looking at the following as far as I know:

gold can 1 x 205ltr (I have a 220ltr drums that GC can use )
Codfather 1 x 205ltr
Shonky1 1 x 205ltr
Big Darren 1 x 205ltr

So that is the 1 pallet full... word is you can get a 205ltr drum on perkins barge for around $50... so if other want to do that its up to them..... however you will need to get someone to sign for it at Garden point..... as we are fast using up our favours/goodwill with our contacts oer there.

Might get a fuel card just to be on the safe side

I am not counting on the tag alongs anymore, I am starting to hear all the excusses. If they turn up they turn up.

Yep like I said earlier they will "drop off like daggs on a sheeps butt" there are always people who are super keen.... then reality sets in

6 boats is plenty...anymore would be a pain in the
