Gday to one and all,
After many years involved in the ocean from triathlons to sailing its great to find this forum for like minded peoples, I have been associated with the Bay for several years and before that Redcliffe Peninsula I dare not live to far from the water as Im scared what would happen to me ..

I have nothing major or important to write about just saying Hi! and hope to read more of the sailing and fishing Posts

Stay safe one and all and have a great New Year Cheers

G'day. Why didn't they spell Hervey Bay with an a ?
Cause it's always pronounced Harvey Bay.

Pronunciation of Hervey Bay is nothing, I moved to WA and they've got a place called Cockburn that they try to tell me is pronounced coburn. -yeah right, I always say, how many words in the English language have 2 silent letters beside each other? It's C O C K B U R N.
