Re: Safety - EPIRB/PLB, flares, essential?

Yes you will need to deploy the PLB antenna and hold it up in the air for a few minutes. If it is attached to you or your jacket then the not floating is not a problem. Just keep it attached so you don't drop it and lose it. It takes only a few minutes of airtime to send a distress with your positi...

Re: Self servicing inflatable jackets

If you are conscious, then you have something resembling Ronald McDonald's hemorrhoids on your chest, which then it is more difficult to swim forward and the Floatation Chambers would be high around your neck and head I think is this case swimming backwards in survival stroke would be much more eff...

Re: Safety - EPIRB/PLB, flares, essential?

Read the weather, check tides, currents etc and go within your capabilities BUT if you’re not confident go with others more experienced and if you’re fearful/afraid or timid then stick to piers and LB A bit harsh ! I don't think there is anything fearful about trying to your self as safe as possibl...

Re: Safety - EPIRB/PLB, flares, essential?

Without being nasty, if you’re timid or afraid then don’t kayak fish. I fish solo in kayak often and I’m not fussed if it’s day time or night time. I always have safety gear on me and with my yak- Flares, PLB, VHF, Floating torch, Mob in w/proof Lanyard, Bilge pump, spare oar & safety flag. At nigh...

2019 Reports Competition

Re: Tough trip to Tyers

Do you think a caravan would get into trident arm camp ground out of peak season? glassed out conditions are always special when it’s in a new location, it makes it easier to take in your surroundings without battling the wind. I’m thinking of heading there in February once the school holiday rush ...

Re: Post counts. Do we need them?

Maybe another option is to leave post count visible in the profile status ONLY.

Morning bash.

Hit up Gunners at first light this morning, as always, travelling light, and prospect casting while on the move.
