I would be cool for a get together on the 17th Nov, could have a morning fish and gather for a lunchtime bbq. I could take a non boater out to wet a line, won't guarantee any fish coming over the side but could float on top of the water and dangle a line in the water.

I can still remember of the first day I got my driving licence way back in the dark ages 1964, My first legal registered car was a Austin A40, wow what memories, the mates and I still talk about those days. Just remember you have been granted a tempory permit to allow you to prove you can do the right thing, don't abuse the priviledge.Well done and your life will change now to allow much more freedom, ENJOY. -------------------- Frank

Its been good. Haha tell me about it, put heaps of fuel in it already, feels like it's the only thing i'm doing. Here's a few quick shots i took today after washing it, couldn't be happier with it. Hopefully the 17th is a go

Lets make it for lighting the bbq at 12 noon at the boat ramp Grays Point.
I will be getting there early around 8.30 9am and going for a bit of boat soaking before the event, if anyone wants a ride in my boat I will be leaving the ramp at 9am. This post has been edited by nimrod: Nov 9 2012, 05:44 PM -------------------- Frank

Poly, Paul if you and your young lady friend should want to call into my place first and come down with me you are most welcome to do so.
My house is not too far off the freeway and it would save you about an hours drive each way, and you are more than welcome to stay overnight at my place so you are not rushing and doing a lot of miles in one day. This post has been edited by nimrod: Nov 9 2012, 06:06 PM -------------------- Frank

Weather not looking the best, I have decided not to take the boat but I am still willing to drive down to the ramp to have a look around.
I'll be there at about 11.30 am so will see whoever turns up. If I'm there by myself, well it wouldn't be the first time. Will take the dog for a car ride and a walk along the beach. Still hope to see and have a chat to some of you blokes. I will be down Ulladulla next week end. The week end after that is V8's and as soon as the last flag drops I'll be heading down to Burrinjuck. Then it's getting too close to Christmas and we still have to have the meet at the boat club. See whoever is coming today.

Dan. Can't really understand the logic behind your parents thoughts.
Doesn't the fact that you have sat a test and passed and obtained the right to occupy the drivers seat without instruction mean that you are now capable of driving a motor vehicle, weather you drive that vehicle within 5 k's of your residense or venture further afield means little. Did you know that most accidents, fatal and non fatal actually accur within a 5 k radius of the licence holders place of residence ? so in fact by statistics, keeping your driving habits within that radius is actually statistically placing you at a greater persent risk than driving further afield. Or do your parents feel that you are not yet capable of handling a motor veichle unaided, in anything other than perfect close to home conditions, after the testing officer has placed that trust in your hands. Anyhow Dan it was your suggestion that we meet, so IF you are there I will see you then, if not well perhaps some other time. -------------------- Frank

Well, Frank and I were the only two who showed up. Spent an hour or so chatting and watching the manoeuverings of the experts. Saw some amazing things. One bloke drove down at 30kph, swung wide and slammed it into reverse, to race down the ramp at 20kph. One problem was the 4x4 post with a huge sign on it. Slammed the stern of the boat into it at speed and loosened the post in its footing. He pulled forward, checked the damage to the stern, dropped the motor fully down and proceeded to back down the ramp. I was waiting for the skeg to hit the concrete, but it was a very high tide - lucky for him.
Anyway, it is a shame that no-one else rocked up. This site is held together by only a half dozen of us, so it would be nice to at least catch up once or twice a year. I hope we can get a better turn up for lunch, drinks and a chat at the Christmas get together. |

KKW you forgot about the other launching we observer, the trailer which had 2 out of 4 tyres flat and appeared like the trailer was broken in the front frame.
Really has me thinking just where was that guy looking to hit that pole with such a thud, it is a good 4 feet from the side of the ramp. Yes 2 show up for a get together, perhaps it's a good thing that we have another meeting planned for the boat club, hope a few more show up for that one. Danny do you think your parents may loosen the leash a little for that meet ?. Don't mean to sound harsh with you mate, but you are old enough now to let go of the apron strings. -------------------- Frank
