queensland Blakesleys social report

[tugger]

Well the wind held off on friday and made for a top day over on nth stardie i got there with my deckie Kev on high tide at 10am to find Jeremy already there. We unpacked the boat and next thing i could see Mick and Rob in both their boats pulling up then we sorted out where to set up camp taking into account the forecast wind.

By the end of the day we had 18 suspects making camp for the night with more to show up on saturday for the big feed planned. Ted brought over 3 kegs of beer so we set up blakesleys bar

The boats were lined up on the beach like we owned the place and we did as no one else came over there for the weekend except for the afo crew

Then the sun started to set and the creatures came out to play

There were a few casualities with a long night

Gary showed us some wrestling

The bar was very popular even towards the end of the night

The night was full of laughs and you never wanted to leave i got very wasted but someone had the lead by example and i had many followers in the end most of us called stumps at 3am.

The next day the crab pots were checked and some silly buggers went fishing then a few more boats rolled up bringing the Wanderers crew to 25 suspects and 12 boats. With lunch time had the beach was set for some cricket with drinks in hand there were plenty more laughs with yanks that don't no how to bowl and poms thinking they are playing in a ashes test. Splat ould only peg not bowl

With the time to get dinner ready we had 11 chooks 7 on rotisseri 4 in camp ovens and 10 garlic breads 2 whole pumkins and about a dozens potatoes it was a feast.

11 mudcrabs were the entree then the main course was served a big thanks again to Mick and Eddie for preparing dinner it was awesome the time and effort didn't go unnoticed you guys are champions

The sun set on saturday and it was time for more creatures of the night to come out to play

Gary had some more wrestling to show us but Rob's missus showed him a trick or 2 body slammin him 2 times i didn't stop laughing for a good 10 minutes this is where he has gained his new nick name "SPLAT"

Some more boats on the beach

Sunday came around all to quickly and after some brunch cooked on the bbq it was time to say till next time which by the way is in 6 weeks in the same spot so don't miss the next one it should be epic. Post up anymore photos here if you got em lads

[haines490slc]

Thanks everyone for a good weekend, we must have burned a ton of wood and I recon you would have seen the fire from viccy point late Saturday night, some very very ordinary conditions on the way home with 30 kt winds and 1.5m swells. Got some good crab to make up for the lack of fishing.

That swell on the way back to the ramp was something else, I lost my two favorite combos out of the launchers! Surely the next wanderers will have perfect weather

[mottly crew]

[e-fish-n-sea]

[neal82]

It was an awesome weekend. Great to meet some more people and put faces to names.

Cant wait for the next one

[Keen-as-fisho]

Looks like a cracka weekend and a bloody good feed to top it off

[MoparKevUk]

What a cracking weekend! Thanks all round for the ride, offers of rides, fun, food, Pav fisho tips, the top advice of "No Kevvy, you are too pussy to play The Amazing Mick Fillet's Amazing Mud Crab Roulette, you have had too much Keg Beer on top of yer Beam&Coke" and the general social atmosphere........A fish is a bonus, eh?

Great to meet new faces, see some old faces, and generally run amok for a few days. Australia Rocks, and the Wanderers are Legendary! Photos later, but no mental ones unfortunately

[sehrguht]

Was a great weekend next time im packing lighter though it was an interesting drive over to the camp with a lot of firewood weighing me down.

A couple pictures, most of my other ones are similar to what has already been posted.

Callum trying to suck up to a certain moderator...

Rough as out there, hadn't been out in the bay when it was this rough before.

[neal82]

[Eug]

looks plenty of shenanigans were had!

[tugger]

I missed Davo fighting the sink but did see him balancing on his head near the fire and the boys gave him a new nick name there as well "TRIPOD"

[pancakes_and_haggis]

Yeh was a great weekend, good to catch up with a everyone for a good yarn round a seriously hot campfire.

Thanks has to go to Ted for being such a great skipper and showing us that the walrus vessel can handle some seriously ordinary conditions!!

Was also great to get out for a fish with lance, perhaps next time he won't have his whiting rig on all weekend none the less I think he outfished us all 5-1.

Thanks also to mick and Eddie for what was an awesome feed,, I'm still alive and so you'll have to double the dose next time Eddie :silly:

Look forward to some friendlier conditions next time

Callum
