Well what a surprise the weather came good on Saturday and with winds of only 10 knots lots of sun and 28 degrees it was a great day for sailing.
We took a couple of would be sail kids aged 7 and
10 girl and boy and did they have fun. We sailed around and let them pull on ropes and hold the tiller and then stopped off to do a little fishing. We must have stopped at the correct time as the flathead went wild. only small ones but gave the kids a lot of fun when they caught about 16 of them, However threw all but 2 back a lesson in not keeping undersize fish.
What a great day but boy did we find out the weather was hot after we landed 31 degrees i believe.Well must get on to some maintenance now as I have a holoe in the front of the drop down keel caused by the rollers jamming on the trailer so it is underneath the boat putting fibreglass in the hole in an upwards directiion. Hmmm should be great fun (NOT).
Next job is to paint the boat a nice dark blue with a red stripe. and that will be in january
For the guy from WA who watches email me some time on cliveinus@yahoo.com as it will be good to talk to another Binks 25 owner
