Diving with The BigFella

June 23, 2006 - Really excited

Well after much begging, promising to do more housework, cajoling and, to put it bluntly, a lot of brown nosing....I finally convinced Little Darlin to let me buy a boat!!!! Yes the Big Fella is sorted!

 

My brother (a keen fisherman) and my father (always wanting to help the boys out) have gone thirds with LD and I in a boat. It's a 5.5 metre Ramco tinny with a 70 horse Evinrude pushing her through the water.

 

We bought it second hand so it only cost us $5k each.

 

I am so excited and promise to post some pics once we get it back from the shop.

 

Unfortunately my bro and I blew the engine up the other week but it came with a one month warrantly so we are getting new pistons and a head gasket fitted for nothing.

 

Hopefully this will see me doing some more diving in this no-shore diving city of Auckland.

 

Kakete for now

Hey Azza,
good to see you back here and blogging. I was getting a bit concerned when I overtook you with blog entries...nice reading about the Poor Knights and looking forward to diving it myself, hopefully in the not-too-distant future! Have been in NZ for 2 whole weeks now and survived the nasty weather we had last week. Already visited out LDS to get the word on local diving, but given I have a cold, my gear is still in transit and it's so cold OUT of the water I don't think I'll be diving anytime soon - better to ease myself into (or save up for a drysuit?!). anyway, look forward to hearing how your boat's going! Cheers!
