Gday All, well after 13mths up north working on Solomon OPF it came to an end. I never intended doing FIFO due to wife and kids but we are managing. I wanted to achieve 2 things out of FIFO besides a better lifestyle for my family and 1 of those things was a 2nd property. So now I have bought and moved into Baldivis. Awesome, so many ramps, so many jetties so much different locations for targeting different species. The 2nd thing I will achieve is a good size boat, 18-21ft. That will come mid next year if all goes well. So after finishing Solomon,I was there for Firetail and Kings, I am now on Barrow Island. How many other people from this forum are up here I am wondering. This seems to have a better roster aswell, 9 days off instead of 5. Cheers Adam |

Hi Adam, Always nice to set goals and tick them off, so well done on your recent Real Estate acquisition. Can't be easy doing FIFO, but I assume the money is good and then there's the tax benefits - good that the new job improves the off time! I know quite a few people down this way that FIFO, and never planned to. If you want to buy a boat - I have one for sale at the moment in This Thread Congrats on having the courage to make the FIFO sacrifice, may all your dreams be realised soon!

Cheers guys, Lefty it would be awesome if you could drop a line. I know at the other end of the island there is a group that fish and surf the beaches. They are not related to the project I am on though. Unfortunately the boat purchase will have to wait till mid next year. |

I just need a lesson in welding 101 to hang some new brackets. New leaf spring and a lick of paint and she'll be good as new. |
