No

No sorry

Yes

Hi Aussie, I have them charged now and the isolator turned off. I will keep an eye on things over the next couple of weeks. If it happens again I will certainly look into it further. cheers Greg O

No, no, no and no. Now you’re just naming every beach on the way north Hamish. Lol

Well, it is north of Townsville but I think we need to be a bit more specific! Lol

Nope

Nope

Hi bicter, There’s only the one motor but I wouldn’t like to try to pull start it. It’s a 200hp 4.6L V8. cheers Greg O

Hi Ray, Yes, the isolator was turned to both. There are certain electronic pieces in the boat which are always lit up, albeit small blue LEDs, such as the USB charging ports in the glovebox. cheers Greg

No. Both too far south

Let me know if people are sick of trying to guess this one

No

No

Thanks mate. I’ll check it out sometime.

Yes. As I said. Chaos. I obviously never got out of the river but I imagine the normal boat parking areas like Mud and Harry Atkinson must have been teeming with boats.

No. No. No and No.

No. A bit far north

No. And no.

No and no. Sorry

No. I must admit few people have probably actually been to this place because it is at the end of an obscure dirt road, unused by most people.

No. Sorry

Actually are there places like that at the bottom of Moreton? Would love to visit them if so.

No. A long way north

Actually sitting at a very busy boat ramp for an hour or so really gives you time to notice things. There’s the newbies who take ten tries to try to reverse the trailer down then there’s the one guy, who I kid you not, reversed down quicker than I normally drive forwards! A real pro. At least 20k’s an hour backing a trailer.! Then there were the emergency service vehicles that pulled up and checked things out while we were waiting. First a police car, then a few minutes later Port Security and then, even a large fire and rescue truck. Who knows what they were doing there? It was also interesting watching the different launching techniques. The single occupant ones were the best to watch. Some reversed down, pushed the boat backwards still attached to the winch ( always a dodgy idea in my book - especially given the removable winch handle spinning at a thousand miles an hour while they do so.), jumping on the front of half cabins and pulling themselves up by the bowrail, quickly starting the motor and beaching it next to the ramp, all the while being abused by some other idiot like the one I encountered for blocking the ramp with their car and trailer, stopping them from IMMEDIATELY launching their boat. Lol It went on and on. cheers Greg O
