Boating Interest Group trip to Port Owen - February 2009 Another annual institution is the Boating Interest Group's trip to Port Owen. Clive once again organised a most amazing weekend to Port Owen and with Tracey and Toni not being able to join us Andy Brown joined us for the weekend. The weekend started on Friday afternoon with our migration up the West Coast. Eric, Andy and Greg took boats and the idea was to relax, wakeboard, ski, fish and crayfish. Friday evening the wind was hectic but Saturday morning found us on Andy's boat heading out to find crayfish. The sea was smooth and soon we had quota and headed back. Each family had one meal to prepare and so the "work" aspect was minimal. Clive created a most amazing calamari and prawn dinner on the Friday, a standard was set which all others aspired to but never reached. Sunday the wind was blowing but was not too bad and soon we were venturing out in two boats to catch some crayfish and some fish. Soon the wind was howling and after three hours only 3 crayfish were landed. We slowly worked the choppy waves back to the jetty and a big birthday breakfast for Clive. After just relaxing on the stoep we put the boats on the trailers and turned south, towards home. Thanks Clive for organising a great weekend.
