Dear Kanimbla Proprietor [alias Louise],
You could have saved your money and bought all those shoes. All you had to do would be to have asked me to donate my two old volvo pentas. They may be old but they keep chugging along. Of course, you would not be able to waterski behind Kanimbla like you will be able to with the new motors – as some would suggest!!!! Think of the savings in fuel, however some charterers would not be impressed if it took 3 days at full revs to clear Facing Island.
Is there any truth to the rumour that you will keep the side door in Kanimbla’s hull to drag in large marlin?
I hope that it is all going well by 15 February when we hope to head out to Freddo or Kenn Reefs.
Regards, Bruce.
