Is anyone thinking of going to this? If I can get the waterpump sorted I was thinking of taking Ressurected out for some sea trials?
Hope to see some of you there so I can get a tow back to shore

Not too sure yet Nick. Probably not going to know until later in the week.

My plan is to head around from the ramp to the beach at picnic island. Sheltered from most winds and the beach isn't to hard on hulls. The other option is to launch at Baden Powell rd right opposite from the shore. Requires 4wd though. I'm the person organising the day so let me know of any special requirements and I should be able to cater.

Hi Matt, not sure which ramp you are talking about, can you give me the referenece off the Murray Golburn water map Link following http://www.g-mwater.com.au/downloads/Storages/29_Nov_2013_-_Lake_Eppalock_Map_FINAL_WEB.pdf
Thanks

Big sorry my map has different names for roads. Kirrang point road opposite token island and we're still heading around to picnic island/paddy island. Weather looks good so far.

Hi all, I will be attending this to give Ressurected a bit of a trial but really need to do another oil change on her. Unfortunately I don't have a suction pump to get the old oil out so if you are attending and have one could you bring it pretty please Thanks Nick

[Greg]

Nick, where were you?

Hi Greg made it 500m maybe from the ramp and the ignition disappeared, eventually worked out that the rotor arm was broken. No sparks so packed up and went back. Lots of water inside the boat, do these clinker things always leak like that? Was a perfect day except for the lack of sparks
