So for this weeks Adventure
Kaz & I headed 30 minutes south to beautiful Brunswick Heads
for a spot of FISHING...
I Know I know its the dads who fish not the mums ..
Well Screw That ...LOL :)
Kaz & I knew that this Fishing Adventure was going to take alot of time and patience
So we decided to get a yummy morning treat into us straight away..
My treat was a coffee frappe & a strawberry tart..
Kaz's treat was a lemon frappe & a coffee eclair..
Which we found at the beautiful Brunswick Bakery
while walking to get our prawns for bait :)
Well first of all Kaz had to explain to me how to fish ...
How to put the bait on...
How to cast...
And how to even know if i had a bite
PMSL :)
Well we had a few bites
We had a few tangles ...MY FAULT ... LOL
& I got my line stuck on a rock...
Haaaaa Haaa Haaa Haa
The biggest Laugh was when we saw the fish jumping out of the water right before our eyes
And this pelican catch 6 in his bill & eat them infront of us
As we continued to catch nothing :(
So we thought stuff this ...LOL
We then decided to hire a tinnie
Which we did from Brunswick Buccaneers @ $50 for an hour
And got our asses out on the beautiful Brunswick River
We picked our spot....
Dropped our anchor....
And POW.....
Kaz caught a fish
A Brim to be exact
Dont worry guys we threw him back in :)
All while i sat patiently at the front of the boat
waiting to catch my first ever fish
Which unfortunately never happened :(
BUT NOW FOR THE EXTREMELY HILARIOUS PART
OF WHICH WE DO NOT HAVE A PIC
DUE TO ME NOT GIVING KAZ MY PHONE PASSCODE
PMSL
Kaz & I decided after our limited success at fishing
And with 10 minutes until the boat was due back
we would jump off the tinnie & go for a swim
one to wash the fishy smell off us
and two to end our day feeling refreshed
THIS WAS ALL VERY WELL & GOOD
UNTIL I HAD TO GET BACK INTO THE BOAT
Kaz had managed to climb up the side of the tinnie
& get back in
ME HOWEVER
I was scrambling at both sides of the boat
trying to figure out how i was going to get back in
Kaz came to my aid
telling me how to hook my legs over the hand rail on the side of the tinnie
and to hold on with my hands at each side of my legs
and pull myself back into the boat
I tried this 3 times & failed
I was really starting to panic that i wasnt going to get back in the boat
I just didnt have the upper body strength
Plus the water was starting to look darker and scarier
and the thoughts of what might be in the water with me
started to set in
So I took a deep breath
and tried again
With Kazs fits of laughter and encouragment
I hooked my legs back over
Grabbed the boat
And with all my mite
I yanked on the boat hard enough so i could reach the strap of the tinnies canopy
and pulled myself back up & into the boat
NOT REALISING THAT I NEARLY CAPSISED THE TINNIE
IN THE PROCESS
Once i was back on the boat
kaz and i were in fits of laughter
she told me how she had rushed to the opposite side of the tinnie
to try to weigh it down before it tipped over
realising she was half my weight & it never would have mattered ..LOL
we couldnt believe what had just happened
It was hilarious
We could hardly speak we were laughing that much
We then quickly started the tinnie
& headed back to shore
Which was even funnier
Cos when it came to parking the tinnie
Kaz couldnt turn the engine off
We nearly reversed into a yacht
Then we hit a stationary boat sideways
All before the man grabbed us & helped us get off
HAAAA HAAA HAAA
Who needs a man
when u can nearly sink a tinnie & get stranded in the river
with your Best Friend
IT WAS THE BEST ADVENTURE YET
&
WE LAUGHED ALL THE WAY HOME
:) :) :)
