waste of time they have used up all their good luck getting rescued 😁

Unless you have a fly by wire outboard you will have cables for gear selection and throttle that need to be connected to the control box and motor, and properly adjusted so the start in gear protection works. They can be a bit fiddly

I’d you ever try stating the motor?

As general rule correct, but there are exceptions, as I mentioned, Port Philip heads for example where slack occurs about 3 hours after high or low water, if in doubt check with a knowledgeable local https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slack_water

On semi- diurnal tides the rules of 12 ths can be used. hour 1 = 1/12 of total movement hour 2 = 2/12 of total movement hour 3 = 3/12 of total movement hour 4 = 3/12 of total movement hour 5 = 2/12 of total movement hour 6 = 1/12 of total movement The strength of the tidal current is dependant...

The doctor said anywhere else on the body he would put stitches in, but there was not enough flesh and the stitches were likely to pull through the skin. Any...

So why two seasons, or don’t I want to know 😁

I am having a slight problem understanding the concept of a mini season and why there seems to be so many incidents. When I look at myfwc.com I see a spiky lobster sport season between July 26-27, 2023 and a regular season between Aug. 6-March 31, what is the rush, are there no lobsters left...
