Day 3
The Saturday saw another enjoyable sleep in, in readiness for the next wave of MySwaggers we were waiting for Blueroo, Niley, Nomad, Ute701, Bigjules and Laith to arrive some time in the morning. It was also time to take those donations for a chance to win some fantastic prizes which were donated from some very generous people additionally the generosity of the MySwag family when buying tickets this day should also be commended. Bigjules and Laith were the first to arrive as they had just slept in swags across the bay, they soon found a spot next to Sablesoft. Nick 08 soon noticed our fishermen neighbours had packed up and headed off so he was soon to react and parked his Triton in their spot to save some more room. After the fun of the day before locating pipies, it was on again as a few headed off in their chariots in the search of pipies but returning emty handed having no luck locating any. Then it was on the time for the arrival of the ‘Fishing Stig’ in a white sun shirt and white hat demonstrated how to catch your own bait – worms, after many attempts a few had success but the common theme was to be patient though the worms do have teeth and they do bite. Thanks for Niley who organised the Beefy Pie Fundraiser for those who wanted pies they were all piled into Yogi and Amanda’s webber for a slow heating, yum they sure hit the spot and we managed to raise $101.00 – top effort. It was a nice relaxing day which some setting up camp, water runs up to Dundubara, fishing and swimming for many. Then it was time to gear up for Cocktail Night, Yogi and Bugone started decorating as they do best with Yogi’s well know LED lights and music to get you in the spirit. Slowly everyone started to make their way over to the Fraser Fiasco Cocktail Night - frocked up in your Island attire for afternoon nibbles on the beach followed by a cocktail or two. Yogi and Amanda’s generator was started for the ice crushing blender and thanks to Rusty for bringing an esky for the all important ice, many mock cocktails were made for the kids and yummy cocktails for the adults including Fruit Tingles, Pina Colada, Tequila Sun Rise and Jamaica Breeze fun was had by all. Yogi soon noticed when he turned around late into the night that his glass full of Jamaica Breeze was missing soon to find in the morning that Daz (DaznBec) had acquired an extra drink and had become Michael Jackson for the remainder of the night. During the Cocktail Night the first draw of the prizes took place:- Welding Helmet (donated by Smoko) went to Blueroo, Security Cable (donated by GGPatrol) went to Rusty, carton of XXXX Gold (donated by DaznBec) went to Jetcrew, carton of Summer (donated by DaznBec) went to Christina, Windup torches (donated by GLC) went to Paul4Nat and the second went to Bigjules. All prize winners were extremely excited with still over 40 prizes still to be won over the week. A few members kicked on around the pigs to keep warm enjoying a few drinks and each other’s company. Hey Frostd and BigJules ….. lol
