Is the beach within the boundry of the comp?

[Davo_Dinkum]

that's nice .really nice looks well made and lots of effort into it.

things are not that tech about the weather for me .we go camping, fishing unless they say it a cyclone or floods i just go and make the most of it.

i got tarps and putting a rod holder in the middle of the tinny for a beach umbrella .will either be dryish or like a sail.
