Hutch getting some air

(Quick winge - It has taken an hour and a useless chat to apple to reduce this photo to a reasonable size)

by **Hutch** » Wed Jan 11, 2006 4:41 pm

put in at 8.30 am and was butter till about 10.30 am. By that stage we were up in fresh so had pretty good water all day. Back home by 2.30 pm.

by **joshb** » Wed Jan 11, 2006 8:47 pm

hey do u guys know any of the details bout some poor swimmer getting cleaned up by a ski boat near the ski park on the shoalhaven? ive heard bits and peices but dont know the real story..

by **Brownie** » Thu Jan 12, 2006 8:22 am

What is the Jelly situation on the Shoalhaven at the moment. I haven't been there for about a month.

by **Brownie** » Thu Jan 12, 2006 8:23 am

getting some nice pop there Hutch!

by **Hutch** » Thu Jan 12, 2006 2:39 pm

Just about ready for another crack at the SAN wake Brownie

Jellies aren't too thick yet. Just big. Only up to ski park at this stage, and they aren't very thick there.

Re: the swimmer getting hit by a boat. She was swimming across the stretch of water between the ski park and the big rocks on the other side (ie. in the middle). A family towing a tube didn't see her, she tried to duck dive but the prop hit her feet. Taken to Shoalhaven Hospital but then transferred to Wollongong. Reckon that would be the worst feeling, having hit a swimmer!

by **Bart** » Sun Jan 15, 2006 9:57 pm

No way I would swim across there this time of year. They can be dam hard to see as well.

by **Brownie** » Mon Jan 16, 2006 8:24 am

I was suprised that there wasn't more of a presence on the water from Maritime and Police on saturday arvo. Thinking I might have to wear my prescription glasses while driving the boat...

by **bellie** » Wed Jan 18, 2006 2:55 pm

i would have thought the water rats would have been out in force over the holidays for sure.... hey bart how are ya?

by **Mac** » Thu Jan 19, 2006 9:06 am

well, I am heading down to albatross in 6 weeks for a couple of years. The wife and boat will be staying in Canberra with me travelling back home most weekends.

Although some weekends I will bring the boat down, during my down time and when I am not deployed with the teams, is there a chance of joining any1 for afterwork midweek rides???

tks greg.

by **Rsole** » Thu Jan 19, 2006 1:51 pm

There are usually a few of us on the river, i live 45min away so i am never seen after work. Mainly weekends, but i ma sure the others can help ya out.

by **luke7654** » Thu Jan 19, 2006 3:17 pm

i the same as Rsole
and i am down there every saty n sunday

by **mattj** » Thu Jan 19, 2006 3:46 pm

i occasionally do with my mate in his boat but he's over at wagga with the navy and we only go out on weekends also. but come winter im buying my own boat so ill prob go out during the week then

by **Hutch** » Thu Jan 19, 2006 7:18 pm

Mmmm Bart was the man for mid week riding .....actually mid week, mid winter mid anytime

but unfortunately he's now in Albury. Would love to say we get out mid week but we don't........Hutch is a workaholic!

It was not good it was my 16 year old sister she nearly lost her right foot, the doctors worked there arse of and are lookin for a good recovery just very slow Fingers crossed... hopefully this brings us all back to real life about the dangers of our sport....... Drive Safe....

Oh, that's a bit unfair!

I'm not a workaholic, I just happen to work lots of hours. But then, we wouldn't have the boat if I didn't work the hours so it's a catch 22 situation. Just have to take the good with the bad....
Hutch.

by **joshb** » Fri Jan 20, 2006 6:37 pm

wake2snow thats so unlucky man... hope she gets betta soon

by **thebischbomb** » Fri Jan 20, 2006 10:18 pm

I know the driver was at fault and all but you have to be pretty stupid to swim across the river in the middle of summer. We've been in the park for a while and people do it every year, it was just a matter of time before someone got hit.

by **lock** » Sat Jan 21, 2006 7:19 pm

hey hutch/tam im coming to back to nowra tmorrow so if u guys go out and have room could you plz give me a call thanks.

lock

by **bellie** » Sun Jan 22, 2006 8:17 am

i remember those midweek rides with bart, no one on the river with about 15 people in the old ski boat and six cases off beer.. hey mac we havent seen you since bellies bash 04 how are you

by **Hutch** » Sun Jan 22, 2006 2:41 pm

Sorry Lock, didn't venture out this weekend. Too hung over Saturday and too lazy on Sunday. Still waiting for all the terrorists to go home!

good,

been busy with work. I know that doesn't sound right but shift work means I get alot of midweek riding with no other boats.

I will prob get the boat down to nowra 1 or 2 weekends a month if im not out at sea, so if you want 2b a 3rd, yr more than welcome. Couple of 250's down the side now, so the wake pops a bit more.

Will Pm you once I get down there.

Greg

by **bellie** » Fri Jan 27, 2006 7:59 am

i still remember the first day i pulled of my back roll behind your boat....
hey do you know anyone who owns the super air with the rego air220, that is one nice big boat.

by **Lunchbox** » Fri Jan 27, 2006 2:52 pm

Jeez good to see you guys are still alive! Well haven't been able to drag my behind too far from Goulburn apart from the compulsary drinking commitments. And looks like we'll be heading for the Netherlands for a while when I'm done here. I should be back somewhere in march and then either moving to Wollongong or Fremantle, so lets hope for the best. Rsole keeps sending me these annoying videoclips with pimped up sounds of everyone ripping it up, good on ya ya bastard! Hope to see you guys soon.

by **bellie** » Sat Jan 28, 2006 7:17 am

Man, I'm keen for a ride! It has been AGES! though i'm stuck in an office in Melbourne at the moment, i can't stop thinking, wonder what the river is doing?

by **Hutch** » Thu Mar 30, 2006 9:58 am

Tam

Shoalhaven this time of year is sensational.

by **bellie** » Thu May 04, 2006 7:57 am

thats no good lock, you'll have to find a way to get out more, the news now is that i broke my wrist in a car accident so i am out for a few weeks but i am keen as hell for the winter's flat water, no boats and cold wind. hey rob, i was speaking to young lach and hutch about their ride with your crew and sounds like they enjoyed themselves. hey Chirsc how are ya?

by **Lunchbox** » Sun May 07, 2006 2:42 am

WHat have you done now bellie? Hung out at the Albion park RSL by any chance, with another suspicious person??? Should be back in the illawarra next week for a year so it is about time we caught up again.

by **bellie** » Mon May 08, 2006 7:50 am

i havent been up your way for a while lunchie. for sure we will catch up for a beer and a feed... i was down at the river yestie fishin at the boat ramp, yes fishin how boring but thats all i can do for the moment with the wrist gone, i'm certain that i seen chirsc pull his supra out with his family with bit of a smoke show as well... :lol:

the supra looked nice in those colours chirsc.

by **ChrisC** » Mon May 08, 2006 10:00 am

Yes , time to upgrade the car I think.Was an impressive burn out though fortunatly I dont pay for the tyres.
That ramp is a bitch at low tide I always manage to find the holes.
Had my daughter (9yrs ) and her friends out getting them all up on her new board and doing a bit of tubing with the little ones was nice down the river till the wind picked up.Dont be shy next time Bellie come over and say Hi ( or give me a push out of that bloody ramp)LOL.

Chris

by **bellie** » Mon May 08, 2006 10:18 am

dean and i were about to come over and give a hand at the third attempt but thats when you got her out, you have to watch the ramp she is a bit rough. Yeah the kids looked like they were having a great time, did you manage to get a ride in and it looked like it was bloody windy?

by **ChrisC** » Mon May 08, 2006 10:52 am

Yeah my wife and I managed to get one run in each.
The wind was bad there is not to many spots u can escape the norwester on the river.There were a few others out early think I saw naut220n but most left when the wind picked up.

by **bellie** » Mon May 08, 2006 11:03 am

yeah the boys with the 220 pulled out just a little early then you guys. but from no cars at the ramp it looked like you had the river to yourselves anyway.

by **bellie** » Mon May 15, 2006 8:08 pm

so who is riding this weekend cause i'm looking for a ride?

the weather is looking not to bad so who is keen.. :wink:
