    Christmas Eve Cruise

    It wasn’t all perfect weather. The last 4 days, the wind was strong enough to blow a dog off it’s chain.

    Where 228’s Come From.

    That’s the law. As to why, maybe the authorities in the US have better eyesight than our guys.

    Christmas Eve Cruise

    Took advantage of a beautiful Christmas Eve glass-out to take a cruise out to Lady Musgrave Island Lagoon (Southern Great Barrier Reef) for lunch and a snorkel. Then up to Fitzroy Lagoon and back to 1770 where we are spending Christmas.

    Tools for cleaning the boat?

    You could try a cheap foam canon. Foam it up let it sit. When most of the foam is gone repeat a couple of more times. That may soften it enough to wipe off.

    Chase to Seafarer bow pulpit and railing

    Pretty sure you will need to cut the existing rail. Does the pulpit bow rail have extensions on the ends to slot into the existing bow rail?

    Running the engine at home

    My 2006 F250 won’t pump water with muffs. I cut the top off poly 44gal drum and put a drain at bottom. Works great.

    Transom Mount Bait Station

    Not my boat in the Captain's video, but that is where I saw it first, then contacted Short Marine. The build a few. Mine was being built at the same time as another. Had to take out the livebait tank (which is easy) to mount the bait station only to find there is a horizontal fiberglass lip...

    Transom Mount Bait Station

    Yes, Short Marine. I’ve been working for a US company for the past 4 years and I get a yearly bonus, which I have never received before. Not a big thing in Aust. So I decided it is my “By the Boat Bling Bonus” and lashed out and bought the Bait Station. They shipped it to me and I installed it...

    Bow Pulpit is Finally Here.

    I ordered the bow pulpit for my 228 back in June was supposed to come with a boat shipment arriving mid August but with boat manufacturing delays it arrived this week. It doesn’t have mounting holes pre-drilled but there are dimples showing where the bolts go which is good. They supplied 3 tubes...
