A nice catch of King George Whiting off Farm Beach.
Sunday 18.03.12. We packed up & back tracked to Coffin Bay to fill up with water & dump. Ready to head on, Rob & Laurel went in front. We normally head off first, as they sit on about 80klms an hour. But it was early and we just sat behind them. Half an hour later we pass an impressive salt lake, so we called Rob on the two way & said we have stopped to take a photo. They went on. Ten mins later we spot the caravan at the top of the long straight road & caught up to them. Just as we got over the hill something caught my eye on the back of Rob’s van. I said to Mike, “Is that the mud guard flapping?”. Within that second, we realised it was the right side wheel on the van that was wobbling! Mike grabbed the two way & told Rob to stop. Another 5 meters the wheel would have come off. It was so lucky we stayed behind them. There was one nut left on the wheel and the others were totally sheered off. 4 hours later the van was towed back to Port Lincoln with Rob & Laurel following. We headed to our destination and they will meet up with us again when the van is fixed. Very Lucky!
The van was serviced just before meeting up with us.
