Boat Destruction

Finally got the first day of boat work done in the new shed.

Left at 5:00 am on my faithful GS500 from Perth and passed a fatal accident at Mandurah (some kids drag racing and lost control - the girl in the back seat wasn't wearing a seat belt and was thrown through the window and died - what a waste). When I finally got to Busselton just before 8:00 I came upon a motorbike accident. A lady came out of Fairway Drv straight into the path of the guy on the bike - he didn't have a chance to stop. I found out later from my mate at the hospital that he broke his neck and was flown out to Perth by the RFDS.

It really freaks you out seeing a bike accident - especially ehen you're riding one yourself!

I was on the scene before the ambulance and police and so stopped to direct traffic. When the police turned up they asked me to keep directing traffic so I was there for an hour - the Busselton bypass was closed to eastbound traffic.

Anyway after all of that drama I finally made it to the folk's place.

Dad and I got stuck into cleaning up the shed and decided to take this bench dad had made for this guy out to his farm to give us more room. We got back and after having lunch went out and cut two honking great holes in the deck for the forehatch and the companion way sliding hatch.

And that was it for the day. More a day of boat destruction than construction.

Oh well.
