Trip report posted at 4:25 pm on the 20th June, 2005
Organisers Ron and Merryl, cleverly left a Stanthorpe winter to travel to the Coral Sea in calm seas and mild temperatures and the boys from Canberra and Cootamundra couldn’t have agreed more! Perfect conditions meant a visit to Saumarez reef and the fishing didn’t disappoint. A near record catch of fish made for a memorable week.
Whilst the fellows were out in the dinghies hunting and gathering the girls (Merryl and Rita) kept themselves busy on the Kanimbla… What a Haul of Cobia!
