Boat is a Haines Signature (1995) towed by a 2006 Holden Rodeo CrewCab

It´s all about money for the Australian Government (import and export) that´s why they dont do anything. I makes me so sick to my stomach.

I should go too and try to catch finally some squid.....

Thats right but sadly too many just dont give a F*$%..... Cheers Glen

I reckon most people start as a deckhand (GPH certificate) to gain the required hours sea time. But you still would have to find a deckhand job.... Cheers Glen

I don't think the school would be a problem but for most us the required (and proven) hours sea time. Glen

Sorry can´t help you but why shouldn´t it be allowed to talk about the tournament ? Cheers Glen

This rule is no longer effective !!! Any boat operating more than 2 nautical miles from the shore has to have an EPIR irrespective their lenghth. Cheers Glen

Hey Muz PM sent

I would take ya mate but I´m down here in Syndey...let me know when you´re down here next time. Cheers Glen

Found this on the Maritime Costal Boating Map (9-10) Broken Bay to Garie Beach. Seems to apply for the Costal Maps only so its most likely that you can get fined if you venture outside with one of the Maritime Boating Maps. I`ll buy the AUS Chart 197 - Approaches to Port Jackson Port Hacking, just to be safe. Cheers Glen

Yes, it is poisonous. lack Spinefoot (Siganus spinnus Linnaeus) Local Common Names : Happy Moments or Black Trevally This species is included because the numerous spines on this fish are capable of inflicting painful stings; these endure for up to some hours and lend the ironic name of "Happy Moments". Special care is needed in handling this fish because the first spine of the dorsal fin lies close to the back, and is directed forward. Although a minor pri_ck results in some discomfort, the venom injected by a deep puncture leads to immediate and intense pain. The intensity of the pain may be out of all proportion to the size of the wound, which should be immersed in hot water as soon as possible and medical help obtained as soon as possible. The fish grows to 350mm (14 inches) and is usually brown or olive in colour with a small mouth but is never the less hooked quite easily. If caught it is more preferable to cut the fish off rather than risk bringing the fish into the boat or on to land risking being stung. The species is common on reefs, and in coastal waters, estuaries and rivers in the region.

Thanks for the quick response Gary. I`m in the market for a rocket launcher and shop a bit around to gather some info and ideas on design/price. The minister of finanace woud have to give her ok too. Cheers Glen

A big too and enjoy the day day guys... Cheers Glen
