I just wash ours with CT20 not done the polish yet. 2 sides Fiberglass and one side Aluminium so not sure what will like both.

I used the last of my Septone Fibreglass polish on the tin sides of Big Mal and it come up great and used Turtle Wax on the old rigs fibreglass sides though I think the fibreglass polish did better on the glass sides.

Saturday, a known day for a weekend....................................took Yak out for paddle, some idiot got his tide times wrong, slightly dyslexic, ended up having to drag it for flamin miles across sand bars..........................................watch Bathurst drink beer..........

Sunday, another well known weekend day..........................Mrs D said get stuffed and stayed in bed at 0530, so took single Yak out for paddle, tide better, no dragging carried out 2 hr paddle across bay, impressed paper shop bloke with $3 worth of 10c and 5 c coins for Sunday paper, ash tray savings bank now empty....................................watch Bathurst and drank beer............................

Monday, infamous day for peasants to go to work...........I went paddling and fishing instead, paddling great, fishing usual failure, rods destined for garage sale.........................no Bathurst on TV, no beer left.................damn.

I worked on that Saturday, because any day that ends in "day" is a work day

I worked on that Sunday to, because I have to pay for my sabbatical around the block.

I worked on Monday because it starts with a "M"

And when its all said and done ...... I caught just as many fish as you

And me....but I have high hopes of improving....sometime.

I'm glad you've found some inner peace with the purpose of work...and that you're putting up with the daily grind.

It happens to all of us, but you achieved the stuff of dreams.

Good to see you back into the swing of things @Crusty181 , I do recall it being great to be back at work after a long holiday but after the first 40 hrs and I still had 2 days to go, the novelty quickly wore off............................thats only after a 3 week holiday where I worked harder at home in the paddock...........

So folks whats lined up for next weekend ?????????

Relaxing at Lake Wallace, working out how to fit in a couple of free camps up the coast (where the fish are biting) before having to be home by the 24th Feb for a new Grandson, any thoughts where I might go?

If you want fish then not much use up here, the water in the Bay is just too warm, about 26 deg................................you could try Bingara on the Gwydir River, some good fishing there and it's on the way home for you, I'll be throwing a line in there at end of month and may cruise by Lake Wallace and check it out as well, sounds interesting.

Brooms Head on the coast south of Yamba cheap camping in the NP by the beach before the town of Brooms Head, quite nice................

I reckon you should go back home via Bingara, then you can tell me what the river level is like as I'll be there in a fortnight, was also thinking of stopping at Keepit but depends on weather. If it's too hot the whole plan will change.
