Hey Bellie,

How is WA?
We have not been out on the river since i had the new hip put in a few months ago. Recovery has been good we are heading out this weekend and Ill give it a test.
Oct long weekend next weekend so I am sure we will see a few of the regulars out over the weekend.
Looking forward to a pain free summer!! ( the hip at least )

How is the knee going woteva?

by **bellie** » Wed Sep 24, 2008 8:49 pm

good to hear your knee is getting better. WA is going great execpt for the boarding. I am still trying to get permisson to ride on the dam here but I think i'll have more luck pissing into the wind.

by **woteva** » Wed Sep 24, 2008 10:50 pm

Bellie-good to hear you are still alive too!!! All us old blokes have been hibernating in winter and repairing our worn out bodies. pretty good if you had your own Dam, but I guess you will never come back then. Johny & Emmy have been riding thru winter and have been doing really good.

ChrisC- good to hear the hip is good. We will be out on saturday. My knee is good, but still not quite ready for wakeboarding but I will give the wakesurfer a go on long weekend.

I'mm heading back for a fews weeks at xmas so watch out the shoalhaven river

by **Brownie** » Sun Oct 19, 2008 11:20 am

I am pretty sure it was Woteva's boat on the ramp when I drove past yesterday. I was up at Bundanon yesterday arvo and got very keen to bring the boat down from Womble's for a weekend. The Shoalhaven was pristine and not a boat in sight.

by **Lunchbox** » Mon Oct 20, 2008 10:45 am

This thread has been quiet for a while, have they shut the shoalhaven river and I missed the news?

by **response22** » Tue Oct 21, 2008 8:13 pm

hey i am camped out in wollongong and have been for a few months. desperate for a ride here before i head back to the northern hemisphere for a nice cold winter. if anyone is going riding here i would love to meet up and grab a set. i'm definitely keen to throw down some cash.

by **Rsole** » Thu Oct 23, 2008 7:10 pm

Sadly the boat has been relocated to Yass (temporarily)

We touched water last saturday at Burrinjuck Dam, Both a little sore though and our young wakeboarder to be decided she does not like water anymore.
She must be adopted.

Oh yeh kath called a sicky the next day, guess she needs a can of "hardin up"
The water was glass. with a bit of chill

Cost me a few bucks though. Some how lost my drink holder off the engine cowl on the way, and blew a hydraulic line on the trailer brakes. (a week after i had them bled)

Boat ran well and that all that matters

Hopefully kath can get a weekend of sometime this summer and we can head down to our van. I think it is still somewhere up river of the shoalhaven, its been a while

Good times

Hi Caprice
Not sure of actual water temp, but we are now out of wetsuits and just using boardies and rashy/wetsuit top and Lifejacket. One of the guys had just boardies and said it was cold but he survived. Maybe we are all a bit soft

by **Hutch** » Thu Nov 20, 2008 12:16 pm

We were out for a few hours sunday morning, finding it hard these days to find the time to get out, so our kids will ride no matter what the conditions with little to no complaints.

by **bellie** » Fri Nov 21, 2008 6:52 am

you cant hear the complaints when they are 80ft away from the boat on a board hey hutch :lol:

by **onemorepint** » Thu Feb 26, 2009 2:10 pm

Will be heading down to ride with Jamie on the Sunday this week, but very keen to be on the water more than just that, so if anyone would like to give me a shout and i'll come and chip in for fuell etc....

by **Rsole** » Thu Feb 26, 2009 7:00 pm

yep old and soft bellie

can only get to the water on long weekends at moment
kinda busy building a house, literally

remember i had you lined up to do some plumbing and you left the state ( and the entire east coast) lol

i should post up some piccys, the second floor is on & lock up in a month or so ( give or take)

by **Hutch** » Wed Mar 04, 2009 10:32 am

enough of this old and soft talk!!!

busy!!! Not getting out as much as we used to a few years ago, kids get older and other interests take priority. Lach is itching to get on the water haven't been out since jan, but he got a AIS scolarship for AFL and spends most weekends in Canberra for that. One day when he is a star it will be all worth it, so he tells us!!! :roll:

by **Rsole** » Fri Mar 06, 2009 7:27 am

Congrats Loc

we don't understand the game that much but we can still cheer
...and embarrass

by **Hutch** » Tue Mar 10, 2009 9:32 am

Hey Rus, sounds like a plan, will be over next weekend ( sat i think) will give you a call and give you the details.

by **Lunchbox** » Thu Mar 12, 2009 2:48 pm

Congrats Loc, well done! All those k's of driving better pay off now.
We are up in Newcastle at the moment, but try to be home most weekends. Ange has found a place she liked in Nelson Bay to keep herself occupied. Haven't ridden since Cairns which is over 19 Months ago!

by **bellie** » Thu Apr 16, 2009 10:06 pm

by **Rsole** » Sat Apr 18, 2009 4:13 pm

[quote="SMITHY08"]wateva what the water temp like still warm or getting close to jumping in with your wetty on??[/quote]

wetty tops it is from now on i think =( getting a bit chilli, although the water is alright once you get wet but it's just the wind chill factor once you get up. bummer.

anyone keen to ride through winter?

by **SMITHY08** » Tue Apr 28, 2009 4:46 pm

emmy i will be down ther riding through winter.
and yer the waters still nice i been down ther in boardies but the wind is fricken freezing i hang to fall of now just to warm myself up

wind is always a problem down there it's either full on like blow you away or nice and smooth. last few days have been so bad, especially when your keen as mustard to get out there.

yes? ALRIGHT! can't wait to ride through winter, water is always so smooth. Think me and dad might be looking for a crew to alternate rides with or something through winter cause were one person short haha. so if anyone is pumped to ride =)

by **SMITHY08** » Tue Apr 28, 2009 8:56 pm

im keener then mustard only problem is i live in wollongong and would only be able to ride on saturdays

by **emmy_210** » Tue Apr 28, 2009 9:40 pm

yeah, we pretty much only ride saturdays anyway.

so who else has been out on the shoalhaven? Seen a few new boats. As long as they don't go past redrock I think we'll be sweet haha. less people that know the better.

by **ChrisC** » Wed Apr 29, 2009 8:59 pm

The wind, we now have 2 less tents afer the wind on Staurday night and Sunday.I AM NEVER CAMPING IN A TENT AGIAN!!
Emmy when you are looking for a third give me a call. I will be up for a winter ride. ( in between kids sports )

Chris.

by **woteva** » Fri May 01, 2009 8:00 am

hey chrisC
the wind was blowing pretty hard on the weekend. Sorry to hear about the tents- you will have to buy that camper now. cant wait to see the camper and the boat hooked up to the patrol :lol:

emmy was was super keen on sun & mon, but it just wasnt worth it after saturday. as usual we went home tues and it was ok

maybe we should set a few dates and maybe alternate boats during winter and see if we can some other starters.
I know the dates are hard with kids and sports. what days suit you better- sat or sun??
we are going out tomorrow(provided the brakes are finished on the trailer).

by **ChrisC** » Sat May 16, 2009 4:30 pm

Chrisc was that the boys weekend again that you were camping out for, and tents are cheap plus I thought you would have had a van by now? And Sounds like the woteva crew is still kicking strong....
