Back from Darwin

[dai sensei]

Just back from a weekend away down at the Perrons west of Darwin with 19 blokes from work on 2 boats. We paid to get there, work paid for the fishing :2tsup: , bonding session sort of. Arrived very late Thursday night so I had some time Friday to catch up with old friends, I lived there for 10 years, but sorry no time for forumites :- One of the guys got carried away chasing tail and missed the boat :doh: .

Not as many fish as in the past, seemed to do a lot more boating than fishing, but still had a ball and caught heaps. I caught the most, but unfortunately not the biggest. We all shared the catch, bringing it all home, so nothing waisted.

Only got one piccy of me with a fish, and it wasn't even my biggest :((

what size boat were you guys on?

Here's the one I was on, with 12 other guys and 3 crew. We all slept on the deck, shoulder to shoulder. The other boat was smaller, but only had 5 guys and 2 crew.
