Getting a fish.... Not getting a fish!!!!!! Who cares as the best part is just getting out there

 

[bigcol]

aahhhh beautiful Victoria, sunny one minute - pouring with rain the next.............

 

[bigcol]

same same


hahahahahaha

I thought you were, wasnt sure, so I thought I would get a bite.................

 

[Drover]

Hey Bluey have a look at my page, I recently had to do a job on my HWS due to leak, sounds like you have the same, need dry weather to fix it though, or really good silicone stuff.

They do get some good drenching rain down there at times.........keep boat handy.

 

[Dobbie]

Yeah. Certainly hope so for all camping.

Good luck with the leak.

 

[bigcol]

reminds me of Toodyay in June eh @dagree

 

[mfexpanda]

Its pretty bad here i feel sorry for people in tents i saw someone bucketing water out there tent window out side my van its over ankel deep half of annex is under glad i pulled up floor if it rains all night look out i heard last time the river next door came into the park tents fully under by a foot hope it stops

Just hang the fishing rod out the expandas window !

 

[Drover]

Tide should be going out and low tide at 11pm, so things should be okay unless it keeps raining in the hills all night...........

reminds me of Toodyay in June eh @dagree

Beat me to it @bigcol !

 

[davemc]

Maybe get a small inflatable for the annex.. Lucky your not up north with crocs in the flood waters

 

[bigcol]

If it's seeping through the stiching @Bluey run a small bead of clear roof and gutter silastic along the seam and spread it in with your finger

 

[Drover]

Use some beewax, way better than silicon, or heat a candle so it's a bit soft and run that over the stitches, should work even if it's wet better when dry though.
Only on one side or you will trap moisture.

TOP Tip Mr @Drover

I was trying to remember what I did to mine after the deluge at Toodyay

you reminded me

thank you sir - (memory like a sieve lately)

 

[bigcol]

But how dose that go in heat it mite melt

does it melt on your surf board..............???????

 

[Drover]

I used wax cotton when sewing canvas and rub the stitch with beewax to help with the seal, in the heat it soaks into the thread and they may leak in 10 or so years...........I had a wax pen in the pocket of my DryRider jacket, waxed cotton one, and on a very hot day it melted into the pocket so thats where it stayed but if it rained and the flap was open water got in and it stayed there, not nice at all, never leaked out, too bad if you had something in there though.

 

[Drover]

Yep, doesn't need to be a heap just a quick rub, you shouldn't even really see it afterwards.

 

[G Daddy]

I used white Stickaflex on my awning where the stitching on the hems had let go and it's holding 12 months later. Cheaper that a trip to the vinyl repair shop

 

[Drover]

@Bluey outside is better.............

@G Daddy , super glue was good for a little while but your idea seems better.
