Fran can take care of herself I am sure. All I see is the complete respect for each other. They are working in extreme heat and the elements but they always remain cool.

    Once upon a time I caught a Spanish Mackerel 1200mm long north of Vanderlin Island; Gulf of Carpentaria, NT. I was trolling a dead mullet well behind the little tinny that I was towing behind my sleep aboard boat. It was fighting that hard, I had to let my Tinny drift away while I concentrated on the Mackerel. It took about 20 minutes to bring it to gaff. I was so proud. It hung over both sides of my engine box inside my boat. The Mackerel is such a beautiful eating fish. I only managed to catch three much smaller ones to freeze to take back to Apollo Bay, Vic; so my disabled wife could have some as well. Cheers

The recipe made 2 loaves, so halved the recipe. Interesting thing, it looked exactly like the photo in the book. Problem was I didn't get much of a taste. My 2, then teenagers who were supposed to be doing their homework, kept coming out and as they said "doing a taste test." Aah bless them. Thanks again for sharing. Loving it.

      It is not champagne and roses just because they do not complain. They are 24hours a day in the elements, no nice air conditioning and a comfortable home to type up comments. It is extremely hot with no chance of cool air, which is also why the islands are have remained uninhabited. Sometimes it is extremely cool at night when they sleep outdoors tending to the fire to keep warm. There is a real element of danger. If they get seriously hurt it may be a very long time before they can get any kind of help. And they are surrounded by danger every where. It is not for the faint of hearts, just because the present only the positive aspects.
      But you will never hear them ever complain, 'poor me'..

    I’ve been catching up with you two while healing a sprained ankle. It’s very rare that I take time to view, as like yourselves are on the go most days! Thanks for all the insight and inspiration to visit. I’m planning a graduation trip to Australia with my daughter for next February. She’s studying marine biology at UW.

    How do you refuel on these long journeys. In the past if have seen fuel barrels on board but not on this new boat. I am sure I just missed that detail when distracted by the amazing vistas.
