Be sure to take some photos, unfortunatley I always seem to be away at work when the sinking action is on.
Sign me up for the next FAD operation if you ever need a hand at short notice. I would be happy to wear an old hessian sack slaving away in the hull, eating roach and rat carcasses to see another FAD arrive in our awesome Harbour.
My family my even donate me to the wreck in the name of attracting predators.
Keep up the great work Team FAD.

Gents,
Any news on this scuttling? I've just stumbled accros this post and seen the photos. I am absolutley amazed!! The lengths you guys go to to establish a decent fish habitat is commendable.
I fly into Darwin tomorrow night from Sydney for a week, if the scuttling was going to take place I'd love to take a look.
cheers,
John O

THE DATE OF THE SINKING IS NOW ON THE 26TH OF JULY AT APPROX 1000 AT POSITION 12 18.394 130 48.893 (100 METRES FROM THE RICK MILL REEF).
However, the hull will be placed into position on the beach at 4-5pm on the 25th then floated off the beach on the 25th at around 2200. Some of the FFF heavies will babysit the hull overnight at anchor.
cheers

a real dissapointment that I will be down south and miss the scuttling.
oh well, heres hoping that hole I helped cut in the foredeck will become a jewie hidey hole....it is sure to be a line cutter with the uneven lines and slaggy finish.

it will be known as KK's line killer. might have to use braided steel cable!
but then you can do the same to me when you get wrapped around the BBQ on the front deck!
