Another Boat!

This time, the Amarok delivery service took a boat from Melbourne to Yarrawonga on the mighty Murray river.

We launched the boat with no issues and the Rok did what it does! Bit of advice from the (ahem) experienced ... if the weir at Yarrawonga is pouring out water and you are spending the night with the boat tied to the bank, be sure there is at least a meter or more of water below the boat. The water rushing out of the weir artificially raises the height of the river which allows big heavy boats to get stuck in the mud overnight as the water subsides!

Many thanks to the very kind locals who spend time and effort getting the boat "unbogged" from the riverbank!
