A Small Boating Expedition

Went out on my dad’s boat weekend just gone. There wasn’t any real point to the trip; just to get out and get some fresh air, spend some time with some quality people, and give the boat a bit of a run. Although the morning got off to a slow start for some; with Bruce getting up at some crazy hour around 7AM to make it to my place on time for us to leave in an early fashion that never eventuated, we had some breakfast at the local Coffe Club, then headed back home to collect Brett, after which we collected some supplies for lunch, whereupon I was utterly confused by the ancient ATM facilities and the purchase requests of some people…

That was a long sentence!

We had a good run across Deception Bay and into Pumicestone passage; it was a little choppy on the way over, with a moderate breeze churning up the water. Dad’s boat handled it beautifully…

This is an old photo, but it illustrates my point

Whence we reached Pumicestone passage, we motored along a short while to the jetty at Bribie Island, whereupon dad dropped us off for a few minutes so we could buy some ice cream!

On the way back, Bruce had a go at captaining the bridge, and well enjoyed himself:

It was an excellent day!
