7 deer seen 4 stags up close but nothing worth shooting . Biggest we seen was an 8 . Stags where only moaning . Hard to tell but probably have been a bit late . Only manage one day on the tops as weather was foggy and rainy but still as . Rest of time was bush hunting

Cool. Must have been a big carry to get your boat up there Would make a robust bivvy mind you

Jet Boat Base would probably do it for you.

Ill sort it if your up this way

It's a small job of putting another foot on the length and a simple hard top , see you on Friday cam ha ha ! And the hole

Throw a couple of tubes of "Selleys Knead It, Epoxy Putty" in the boat, just in case for next time

Its one of those "as long as you got it, you won't ever need it" things. Geez Munsey I thought i was hard on my boat. Looks like you shoulda brought jet boat.

It's going to be put in with my boat safety gear

Mikee to be totally honest , it was not poor navigation, it was not poor mooring ! . I'm kicking myself . Didn't pull boat up far enough lake edge and didn't pay attention too a rock about a meter away . Weather changed for the worse , waves moved the boat onto the rock and boat sunk ! . Was lucky I had a winch in the boat to pull her out . It was put in there in the first place to pull it up the beach to avoid this type of incident . Too much haste not enough thought

As long as only feeling's got bent then its called experience (also character building). Boats can be fixed. To be fair I would not sleep if my boat was moored somewhere. Up the bay we anchor Bow out and have a stern anchor(s) but still don't sleep good
