Delivery Basic Instinct

First impression .

Up well before sparrow fart to arrive at the Ryct for a lift to the airport by Mick picking up Bruv on the way to catch the Quantas 6.05 flight to Melbourne at the start of the delivery voyage of Rod Chamlerlains new Ab vessel.

I have been seconded along with Biggs,Bruv ,Mick Hocking and Cheroz and of course Captain Rod to fly to Perth and drive to Jurian Bay to take delivery of Basic Instinct.

After an uneventful flight we piled into a people mover and headed to a tool shop to stock up with the required gear for his new vessel,across the road to pick up a large esky and a BBQ amongst other things.The Good Guys for an electric Kettle.

She has been used on WA west coast for cray fishing and as such was only been fitted out as a day boat,we needed a bit extra gear for the delivery trip.

We arrived after the yard was closed but could get a fine view of her through the fence.

Rod called up the people he had arranged a holiday house for the night and we tootled around to settle in.As you can imagine the troops were getting a bit thirsty by then so we departed for the pub.

Had a really good meal and a round there.

Back to the digs about 9 their time.All happy to turn in after a quite productive day.

Much discussion on what do people do living in the settlements on the way up,an unsolved problem at this juncture.

They of course fish,service the oil and gas,deliver services and have holiday homes,a few Sheep farmers but II think we are missing something,one small town has two Hadware stores.

Well enough for today,we will try to arrange to get the boat into the water tomorrow,fuelled up and away if all goes to plan.
