Farewell Moreton Bay
Have been in and out of the Moreton Bay Trailer Boat Club marina doing the last minute running around and awaiting final parts and adjustments. We only just took delivery of our brand new bright red screecher a couple of days ago and managed to get a final part for our prodder this afternoon.
