well , I'd be around R28 000 Richer if i Wasn't a Member on sealine , andthat's not Even to Mention the bandwidth I've Consumed , both On My phone , at work , and just about any Place I could Manage to log on ..
Ialso Wouldn't have met so Many good people all around the country ,something i can never get tired of .
3 birthday bashes , 2 of em in The transkei , a burglary , a trip to St francis point just so that i Could Meet Enigma( i shan't forget That trip There and back as Long as i Live !) when i specifically tuned the wife how to drive to Gerickes point if she wanted to "join "me , kite fishing , selling cars to Sealine Members , trading stories , telling stories ,being part of stories, laughing til i cough at work At some of the replies .
Then there are the trips .Ah , the trips ...So Many , with so many pics , that'i've had to buy a separate Drive to store all my Nokia-derived images , from saldanha , St helena bay , right all the way up to Friggin Blythedale - Who'd've thought Though ?? The Report trips ,None Of Them Would've been possible , none of Them would be as motivated , and so Many , if i'd not gone looking for some tips On how to cure My son's foot after he stood on an identified"-on-sealine" White sea barbel ...
From there , the rest is history .
I went from a sealine 50H(aptly named) and a 13ft purglass bought in 1991 , to a Tackle Store in My garage .And every Month as it got worse , so did my buying spree.Saltiga ,Tiagra, saltist ,Sl(s), trini , torium , pro Caster , loomis , assassin , Hmg rods, seagrand - I've now officially told Myself come hell or high water I aint goin nowehre near another Tackle store unless i absolutely have to .
And for one Thing- The Shoot might be hitting the fasn at work - all i Need to do , is click on öpen in new window", and hit the recent button - from there - My boss's voice goes into silent Mode , like flipping An n8 Face down on the desk , or hitting the mute button .....
Magic .
Learnt so Much , my fishing and probably my frikkin fitness Level , have improved dramatically (that Kraanse report almost killed Me.. ), and -so has My insurance on my CELLHONES !!!!!!! I've Lost 7 Phones trying to complete New reports , take pics , and Generally have a Camera at the Ready for a magic moment somewhere . One Need look no further than Umthatha river mouth , on google Earth , to understand what i Mean about pics with mates ..
Unlike Others , such as Trophy Neil g , Etc , I only started seriously around 2009 .
from then , until now - if you knew me before Sealine , you'dvé caught Me ramping a table top on My quad . Saturday i had people around to view the quaDS -alone- while i fished a League .
Managed The south cape b side to Natal this year , drove allthe Way up there just to Meet jakkal and Crackerjack , and Preggy govender , and next year I'm joining them again for nationals In port elizabeth , in 2012 .And then there's emps . went from a Stranger , to a Friend at the first bash i attended ( Couldn't believe i did that - a BLAST !!!!! eh Psy ?!?!?!?!?!?!?!!! Lol Hell yea )in 2009 .
