FINALLY, the comment option now works after being swamped by 2678 spam. Any comments that were sent in the past have now been uploaded and your invited to continue adding  your valuable comments.

Kanimbla arrived home safe and sound from her Brisbane Refit on Monday 11th February. She was then provisioned and left on her 1st Charter of 2008.

Sadly, a “little drop of rain”thwarted a visit to the Coral Sea, but at least a boat is the best place to be in a flood! 

So what does she look like?????????????

READY…

SET….

Tah DAh!!…. Sexy Yes?

Here are the new Bathrooms…

The Showers & Toilets all now have handrails and the Showers have proper doors.

After waiting a week for the foul Post -Xmas weather to abate, Kanimbla finally found her way to Brisbane for her “EXTREME MAKEOVER” on the 7th December 2008.

Its amazing to think that only a few loops of rope can hold up Kanimbla.

You will be pleased to know that the lift holds 300T and Kanimbla is 265T.

Try reversing this Baby! – Kanimbla enters the workshed.

Safe and Sound undercover free from weather worries.

Here Kanimbla’s cladding is stripped off, the bathrooms gutted and some holes welded up.

Resheeting the bathroom

New extended awning and railings

Having her ‘White Bits” redone.

Poor old Girl’s on life support!

WHO KNOWS HOW IT WILL ALL END……………………..

………………………………………………………………….
  

All will be revealed on the 11th February, when Kanimbla is back in Gladstone!!!!!

Congratulations to Adam & Deb who marry this Saturday 20th January. All of us here at Kanimbla Charters wish them a wonderful day and lifelong sucess and happiness together. Some of the Kanimbla crew past and present will be in attendence… we expect it will be a big day!                                                   

 Adam has been with us for 6yrs and Deb 3yrs repectively; sadly they have decided to  abandon us! but we forgive them  and  wish them fair seas and good fortune. However, Adam may come back to us in 2008 so lets cross fingers!

If any of our passengers would like pass on their congratulations to Adam & Deb you can do so via the comments section below… and we will pass them on at the wedding where Bruce will be MC.

Update:  It was a great day! The wedding was held over looking the water at Cleveland in Brisbane …and of course the happy couple looked radiant!

It certainly has been a long time between drinks…or posts actually. However I do have a fairly good excuse. The residence and office of Kanimbla Charters has been having a make over and we had to move out and stay in alternate accomodation. Sadly, we only had dail-up internet and could not upload any info/images to this site.

But we are home again and I have a nice new office with highspeed broadband access! Yipee! Here’s my old office & new office.

So all the pics for 2006 are now online!

In a lame attempt at an excuse, I would like to plead creative exhaustion. I am running out of superlatives / adjectives for your fish- great, magnificent, stunning…etc..etc.

Whilst all the fellows have been pulling in the big fish, none have offered (except BruceR) to write a post- after all, you were there and I’m sure there must be some great tales I never hear about. (of course we can’t transgress the “what happens at sea stays at sea” rule).

So again, I ‘m sending out the invitation to tell your story. You can contribute by emailing a ‘Word’ document -x500 or so words in length is ideal. Alternatively a standard letter is just fine and I can transcribe it to this site.

Even if you feel that you are no Hemingway, you are always welcome to add your comments to each post.

So I’ll get busy posting the last few weeks of Trip Reports and you get busy writing too!

After 5 long weeks and a cast of 1000’s, Kanimbla is back in the water. All the holes are welded closed and after a brief sea trial in the harbour (She manged an honest 15knots) she was launched on Sunday 12th February. Just…in time for a charter departing the 15th!

A last minute touch-up of the paintwork, the laying of the new upstairs carpet, the arrival of new cushions and a mighty clean up at the last hour has Kanimbla ready for her 1st charter for 2006- BON VOYAGE!

The Donor Organ arrives, ready to for positioning. The Surgeon is ably assisted, as the ‘heart’ is manoeuvred into the patient’s cavity.

The Engine Bed is prepared and the new ‘heart’ is gently positioned into its final resting place.

Once in position, the new engines await to be plumbed and wired (circulation and nerve supply) to be restored to working order.
