Just a clean and we'll be ready for the season

This last weekend was doing a clear out of the boat. I thought if I started them young my kids would grow into the habit. 4 odd years later and still apparently not. A couple of bin bags of some ripe smelling mouldy kiddy clobber from their cabin and a few zillion toys.

Where did I go wrong?

I'm not allowed to post pictures of my boat anymore. Ian gets the miffs. :lol:

Maybe he'll cheer up if I post some of my beatup and abused cuddy instead?

No, the fishing was excellent. So good in fact I got myself stranded on the shoal. Quite the feeling being a mile out to sea and being able to climb out and fish the channels :lol: When I started out I had 30 foot of water under me. At 10 foot I thought it a good idea to head back, but never made it. Just shy of the channel by less than 30 yards. What a bust. It was a cold night too :oops:
