Club BoatIt is the person who is hiring the boat’s responsibility to make sure it is full of fuel, that there is no damage to it, the trailer or the motor. It must be completely full of fuel when you have finished with it and cleaned. Some cleaning can be done out at sea like getting rid of cray legs and old bait.
Remember to turn off the kill switch and ensure the boat has been fully refuelled. Don’t leave your club mates with a partly filled fuel tank!If this is not done then future hire of the boat will be in doubt.On club days the boat is free – only fuel to be paid for.Both boats are available for hiring.

FunniesPoetry CompetitionAn Australian Poetry Competition held in the Sydney Opera House had come down to two finalists;A) A university graduate.B) An old aboriginal.They were given a word, and then allowed two minutes to study the word and come up with a short four line poem that contained the word. The word they were given was 'TIMBUKTU'. First to recite his poem was the university graduate. He stepped to the microphone and said
Slowly across the desert sand,Trekked a lonely caravanMen on camels, two by twoDestination - Timbuktu
The crowd went crazy!. No way could the old aboriginal top that, they thought.The old aboriginal calmly made his way to the microphone and recited;
Me and Tim a huntin' wentMet three whores in a pop up tentThey were three, and we were twoSo I bucked one, and Timbuktu.
The aboriginal won.
