   Boating...

Comment | Permalink

Time: 12:40 PM Friday 16 July I want to get my post in early so it will be up for as long as possible. Anyway, you get to hear about the fishing I did yesterday. My dad owns this 23 footer, so we went and got it from the storage place, where I learned how to set up a trailer, and what you need to do for it. That was the first thing I learnt yesterday. Then, we had to do a complicated maneuvre to get the trailer out of the carpark place. Once we got to the Launching ramp, I learnt how to...dismount a boat from a trailer, and exactly how difficult it is to maintain control of it. I had to stand on the jetty, with a rope attatched to either end of the boat, and try to stop it from bashing the jetty when it slid off the trailer. And you see, to get it off, the trailer is reversed down the ramp, and braked hard, and the boat slides off. Fast, too. >_< But anyway, that was new. Sadly, we didn't leave until about 12:30PM, and the wind was getting up. We were out for about half an hour [I mean, out fishing] but it isn't much fun just staying still... because the swell rocks the boat. I started to feel sick, so we turned around and drove back. Well, actually, I got to drive back, and around, for about an hour. We took her out left of the harbour, and went for a bit of a run, and then we went into the marina/harbour thing and dad made me drive up and down all the jetties looking for his old boat. It was a bit hairy, especially because I needed to turn this 23 foot boat around at the end of each 'aisle'. But, the driving was fun and good experience. And then, we came home. We were going to go out again today, but I didn't really want to, and I also wasn't feeling up to scratch this morning. So we stayed home. Thats all I did yesterday. Oh, and in response to the OB thread "Can you speak Japanese?" I'll get rid of my spamminess here; No. Mood: Still alright, heh. Song: Big In Japan by Guano Apes.
