Jethrow, are you in Salt Pan?

that is ****. sorta strange that they cut the bowline off your dinghy and got to your boat. did they cut the bowline for some rope to use or to free the dinghy to use that? sounds like they wanted some rope for something. low lifes and most humans in general never leave anything how they find it so they wouldnt have put the dinghy back if they borrowed it.

Jethrow, I'm going up to MB tomorrow. What is your boat's name and description?

MB, I change my avatar to show the boat. I'm the same distance again from the public wharf from your boat. She's all good now but if you see any fishermen on board, give them a punch in the face from me. :D

I drove past and couldn't se any sign of their return. I suppose they picked your boat because it has good access for the fishing lines over the stern. There were lots of boats out fishing this morning, especially on the western side of Scotland Island near the work barges.

If you're there MB. I was motoring around Scotland Island yesterday and saw a cruiser had gone down (just the antennas sticking out of the water).
It's on the moorings on the South side of the Island opposite the North cardinal mark. Is this anywhere near you MB, do you know
if it was the bad weather that sank it, or was it sabotaged.????????

I had dramas like that with low life's at McCarrs Creek.

Originally I designed an SMS bilge pump alarm for my boat because my bilge pumps keep failing (I thought) and the boat flooded a few times. I discovered later it was because the electronic sensor on the pumps got slime on, then then when wet the slime would stay wet and the pump would stay on and on and flatten the batteries. Very annoying replacing everything under the floor each time so I designed an SMS bilge pump alarm.

One day I came to my boat and the cockpit was full of squid ink stains, squid bits, beer bottles (none full!) and rubbish.

That was even more annoying so I added a "burglar catcher" input to the SMS bilge pump alarm with great success ,even catching some of them by putting an invisible trip wire across the cockpit :-) I was able to sprint to the boat and shine flood light on it from the shore and the low life's scattered everywhere!

Later the invention became this www.trektransponder.com.au. Anyone who wants one can have one half price on this forum if they don't mind a beta version.

That looks like a good piece of kit.

I second that Cisco

Such a shame to hear. Ive been working up there for years providing marketing services to real estate agents and home sellers. Combination of real-estate agents and neurotic sellers from that area have lead me to dump all the clients from around there. Sailing up there is awesome though, but seems almost risky to have the boat there away from the maritime cops at church point

Bob thats lame. Where was that?

You need one of my low life busters Bob. There's 3 installed on boats in the Georges River.

If anyone would like to see it work I will be working on boat Sunday in Elvina Bay, replacing starter motor on old Volvo MD 2003, don't know where to start so to speak. Except I have the new one at least. If anyone's done one before I'd be glad of hints.

Bring beer.
