Boating of Davis

Our fury little friends  baby's only born this season.

Got back from fishing the weekend and a opportunity came up to go out in the boat's after dinner.
Felt like just chilling but i say don't let a opportunity go by.

All the water that we are boating on was frozen when we arrived. We went on walks, drove Quad bikes and Haggs not that so long ago.

From here on in the ocean will start to freeze up again and so the cycle goes.

Let the pictures tel the storey.

Gone fishing

      

Dropped off at a Island with a small Hut called Bandit's for the weekend. On a mission some may say impossible.

 Have plenty of supplies including some prime beef rib eye defrosting on the deck next to the door.

Late afternoon about the only spot on the island that had open water from the rocks ideal to throw a line in.
It happened to be at the extreme opposite end from our camp site about a 15 minute hike across the terrain.

One line out.

Have a bit of structure sorted with a other line out and a cold beer.  Life is good if i
 catch a fish that will be a bonus.

 Taking in the surroundings being patient. No rush have all the time in the world.

 Surprise, surprise yes that is a fish.

On the way back to camp one side the sun is setting.

 And the other the moon is up and about.

Back at the fishing hole the next day, trying to get a feed, the weather had turned it would have been warmer in the water with the water being minus 2.

 Just ask these pair, managed a double hook up, could see them shivering unhooked them gave a kiss and sent them back before they froze.

Next morning off to Vestfold Hills for some SAR training.

 Being dropped off.

And then heading home. Great weekend the steak ate up well be glad to get back to base to rest up for what ever is next.

Random

 4am still awake with Tim and Cas. Amazing what a nanny nap can do to stay up for the sun rise.

 A weather station doing it's stuff.

 Brookes hut with Brent and Rod.

Sitting back and taking it in.

 The water supply pump house.

Working in the element's.

 I suppose it is a bit of justice having to work to keep this place going no matter what the weather is doing.

 Guess who hiding behind a tomato or two making love with the flowers.

And look at the result's

Out and about

Trip to Brookes hut.

 Standing on the edge

On top of hill 320.

Like a tiger.

Meeting half way in the middle of nowhere with a other group.

Chilling at Platcher Hut.

 Not sure where but still walking.

About to have a drink on the Helli-deck at Platcher hut.

 Having fun somewhere.

 Getting focused with the job on hand. Hard to imagine i am getting paid to have to endure this stuff.

Up on the Hill again.
