It's mums birthday today so while Shaun was cooking up pancakes on the BBQ for breaky the kids and I rang her for her birthday.
I was looking forward to today... we were going to Dampier to catch up with my cousin Erin. I'd never met Erin, just heard all the funny stories... and he lived up to the stories.. haha! A great bloke.
We met him at the Hampton boat club in Dampier and Erin and his mate Louey took us out on the pilot boat that they work on. We got a tour of the waters around Dampier and the 'work' that they do ;)
With a 4 wk on / 4 wk off roster, working on the water and fishing off the boat every day between jobs... as Erin said it was a dream job!! I was surprised Shaun didn't hit them up for a job right then and there ;)
After trading fishing stories on the boat we headed to the Mermaid pub for lunch. Not sure if it was the ocean views or the skimpy bar maids as to why the boys picked this pub.. haha ;) Caleb later told us he was wondering why the ladies weren't wearing much!
It was great to catch up with Erin and hear his stories about his family and growing up in Green Heads. Unfortunately time didn't allow us to head south to Green Heads this trip as we were covering the top half of WA. Really wish we were able to though. Next time we will def be doing the bottom half and catching up with the rest of the fitzy crew :)
