Trip report : ‘Reef Rumble’

Things are rumbling in far northern waters, according to a report from Karen Davy, received just before she flew north on 22nd May to join PC Lyle Watkins and Member Jim Roberts aboard “Silhouette” on their peregrinations The gents departed Brisbane on 3rd May in company wit three other LSC vessels – “Dracomaris” (Ross & Rae Hembrow), “Northern Trek” (Peter & Christine Trim) and “Solitaire” (Greg & Cheryl Daley) – the flotilla travelling north in company, and all safely crossing the Wide Bay Bar. Fellow Member Hugh Bletchley ( “Inya Dreams” ) left a week earlier, and effected a rendezvous at Island Head Creek with the roaming fisherfolks. Jim Roberts gaffed the first catch of the trip at the top of Sandy Straits (lower right), with Lyle catching up later with some nice Red Throat Emperor at Hunter Island. Before jumping on a plane, Karen advised eNews that “they have had great weather on their cruising days. Overall excellent. All the boats going nicely and lots of fun is being had by all.” Based on the photo evidence, they’re unlikely to be starving or thirsty!
