A Tasmanian experience

[Chivs]

Well its back to boats for me Hookster and no more shananagans! Just to let others know I am still chipping away at Torea and have recently purchased a new HEART for her, very happy

[hookster]

Good to catch up with you the other night, and as always the "We'll only have a quiet one eh Hooks" turned out to be completely the opposite naturally. Good to see you haven't gone soft ya old f@#%! Nice donk too by the way

Ahoy there Brian, how's the factory going? Next time after the Narranderra trip would love to come up and have a look at your set up. RE progress on Torea, nothing really worthy of photos, seems I am doing what everyone else is, stripping and sanding etc. Doing a bit of repair work to the transom and adding strength to pull up the bottom boards back into the hull.
Are you still up for the Yarra Cruise, we get off the ferry 7 am ish Thursday 27 October and will head straight to 'Warmies' and should be in the water by 8 am, weather permitting. Hope to get out some time after lunch or so to beat the afternoon traffic and will head to the Hooksters at Yarrawonga for a overnighter.

Cheers from Chris.

Ah, don't you mean an all-nighter ?
Hope to see you at the ferry.

Now Allan you should know after last Narrandera I am going to behave until I get there and save myself up for some serious socialising!

Re the criptic see you at the ferry message, does that mean you will be in sunny Tasmania and returning on the same ferry or you miss me that much you will be waiting for me to arrive in Melbourne on the Thursday?

Miss you too Allan, hope Greg is not the jealous type

Well Chris, don't want to let you down too hard but, it's probably more about the boat than you sorry. The last cruise was great even if the temp was a bit Tassie like, don't know if I'll bring a boat or be waving a thumb but looking forward to a trip up the river again.

Well you know the boat and there is plenty of room, at this stage its only my dad (Laurie), Bruce and me so you and any other club members, probably room for another four in comfort and byo life jacket.

Cheers and look forward to catching up with everyone.

hey chivs

we have moved out of the factory we went into. we now have a shop with a descet shed attached which is allot better. a place to play with boats and a shop to sell the stuff that pays for the boats. the only problem is now we are that busy i havnt had time to do allot on me boat.

time will be tight for nerrandera but i will be there and hopefully i can get time to cruise the yarra aswell.

i look forward to seeing tomboy up close and having a good look this time

drop in anytime for a can or ten and ill crank up the bbq
