So get a call last Thursday "what you doing for the weekend? '. That lead to a nut drenching walk to a tender on Friday night off a beach. That lead to many beers while steaming north for a night at anchor. A couple more beers and rums, and a great feed of venison sausages.
Sat morning and bacon & eggs, coffee, and were under way. A couple of spots tried, and the bin got filled. And burnt to crap, sun cream should be used....

Big feed of snapper for dinner (panko in air frier - a first for me. Bit of seaweed mixed with crumb. Very very nice, and has been repeated since). A early night.....
Sunday, cruising home, stopped for a few fish. Got a 61cm snap, in real good condition and fought like a rat King. Great fun.
A few kawhai caught throughout as well.

Fantastic weekend. Much bullshit discussed and covid chat was banned - and we didn't fail on this

Geez I don't know, you high rollers and ya gin palaces

That's one hell of a snapper

Boss ring on Monday and reckons that we need a meeting today..... My boat this time (the weekend was on a mates 70ft 2600hp boat....)

Bit of a run out, about a hour, and sliders are deployed. Birds working, flat as, and in a patch away from other boats that seem to want to tangle each other together. You could just about jump from boat to boat.

A few solid 40 cm snaps on board.
Just drifting around and getting a stead stream of fish.
Do the "we're just about at limit, so another 5 mins and we're off" call. Then manage a 57cm snap in the closing 2 mins.

A quick run back in (mirror flat and a nearly a full tank of dinosaurs, so gave it the jandle to clean the motor out ����

A few houses are having fish tonight for dinner!
Even the heads and frames

Lol, not mine!!
32knots in mine is 50l per hour, his is close to 500.....

Bloody nice boat though and A significant bit out of my league though....

Got the txt…keen for this arvo…promised me a dive!

So got picked up as the rain eased off and the breeze dropped…the skipper was in fine form full of yarns and laughter!

Got on the water with an inch or two to spare on a dropping tide, got the skipper on board with dry boots. Idled our way down the estuary and then faced the bar …it looked untidy but workable , eased our way out into a niggly swell ..it will be better on our dive spot I promised…

Well the vis was but the swell remained ,dropped on a favourite rock, onto some shorts round and round ,hang on ,look ,hang on again, found one old favourite produces again, he saw me and was in a crack and made a run for his cave ….got him before he got there. Into the sack .

Scratched around , back into the boat , down on a cave we’ve caught in before, skipper dropped me straight on it ..cheers VC got down, snuck in like the sneaky bloke I am and……the cupboard was empty.

Scratched around holes cracks ,Moki , takeable cod everything but a couple of crays.

Back into the boat ,tide and time was against us bang another rock and back in the dark or get in with the last of the tide in day light in a still messy sea….home James .

Got to the bar eased our way in ..cracked a beer enjoyed a cruise up the channel, loaded the boat and away home, shared a yarn. Hit the showers grabbed a feed lying in bed.

Need to do a shit ton more diving, loved every second of it today ..cheers VC another amazing evening of experience and laughter.

Conditions were pretty average but the best we were gonna get on an evening in the next few days at least.
Anyway mission accomplished good times with good people cheers Joe we make a good team.

That there bright bit in the sky is called a suck hole....it's not the scientific name just the actual name.
