hey all this is your only warning to this im going on a little road trip in a couple of weeks down to the ends of the earth ie crib point in vic for work. will be down there for about 3 weeks so im wondering who will be up for a cruise when im down there. im heading down about the weekend of the 25th june and would rather not spend too much time on the weekends on the navy base if i can help it. if you miss this you may regret it :P as im so much fun and would love to meet more of the vw people down there.
so lets party

vern74 ·
Ya poor lonely bugger
I would pull up a stool next to ya
barls ·
yes i know you would if only for the cheap beer. so who else can i insult tonight?
hows vern peter
mscabrio ·
We can't have an out of towner drinking cheap beer all on their own, especially someone who is doing good to save our country ..... All is forgiven .......
:duh
vern74 ·
You should see the Navy guys here at the moment and then ask about saving our country. i'm sorry Barlsie but if the weather turns a little windy the boats all come back into port !
If there a war and these guys are around we are screwed
barls ·
yeah but how bug are the boats?
most of them would be mine hunter the boats that im on
vern74 ·
Biggest is the Melville
have the Huon
yarra
hawksbury
the others elude me at this time of night
all leaving in the moring 'cept Huon as it is broken down
vern74 ·
rushcutter
Now I am really making the grey matter work
I have very little to do with them this time.
barls ·
yeah typical huon is always broken when i went on there for a month it was struck by lighting. its alright have another vodka
vern74 ·
The new Maritime Security Act has made there visits to us a real nightmare for me and the security personal
barls ·
yeah well you should be on one of the boats it sucks the big one.
vern74 ·
Oh i am sure it does.Went on board one when they were here last time ....forget it.......not for me. went to school with a fella that went into the navy and arrived on my door step one day when he was here on R and R and he was just so glad to come to our place and spread out and drink heaps of piss. I missed a few days work but it was for a good cause. Hes left now and runs a port somewhere down south I think
barls ·
yeah its not the best but it pays good so ill keep doing it for the moment ill definitely have to have a beer with you next time im up there
vern74 ·
You are welcome anytime
I can get you a security pass as well that all the others will pay you BIG money for
vern74 ·
From my very fuzzy memory I kinda remember Andrew bringing few more fellas to our place and they did there washing.........and drank beer
barls ·

barls ·
so back to the topic who else is up for a cruise on the pernisula while im down there
barls ·
not long now actually its this weekend ill be down there. ive decided to take the drive in 2 days cause i was buggered for about 3 days after it cause my body wasnt use to so much caffeine. so whos up for a cruise on the pernisula or else where
Jay_1965vw ·
Does this mean you'll be here in time for the Herbie night at the drive in (25th), or not quite - and where IS Crib Point??
🙂
barls ·
not quite i wish i was but ill still be driving down. crib point is down on the peninsula about an hour away from frankston
Jay_1965vw ·
D'oh.. so it is close to Dromana where the drive in is too... oops... sorry, shouldn't have told you if you won' be here by then...........
barls ·
yeah i know so close yet so far. i could be there for that but i think i should spend some time with my girlfriend since im going to be away for three weeks. i spent 18 months down there a couple of years ago so im quite familiar with the peninsula.
mscabrio ·
What dates will you be down here ?
barls ·
drive down this weekend, ie the 25th and 26th, and will be there till the 15th of july when i have to drive back
barls ·
ok i leave tomorrow? so a question for the mexicans how cold is it down there at the moment?
Jay_1965vw ·
Bloody cold! We're getting average max temps of 14ish. Still not much precipitation though. They keep threatening rain but we're not getting much of it.
barls ·
thanks jay im going to pull the clothes out of the cupboard that i havent worn since i left last time i was down there on course.
Jay_1965vw ·
Good move. Horrible being cold and not having options - you can alwyas leave it packed if it gets warmer 🙂
barls ·
not much chance of that happening where ill be as the wind blows straight off the polar ice caps. it is almost the ends of the earth
barls ·
ok im down here but its bloody cold and dont have much internet access. so is anyone up for a cruise while im down here if so let me know
CoopGirl ·
Hey Barls.... I suggest leaving your mobile number for them to give you a call if you don't have much net access....
How's the weather down there?
Have a happy stay!
barls ·
