Induction – Sophie #92
Back of the Ferry inductions have been going on for seven years now. It is therefore no surprise that second generation inductions are now occurring. Back in 2010, one of BotF’s greatest partners in beer adventures – Geoff – was …
Induction – Michael #91

July Round of the Harbord Bowling Fishing Club
Great weather last weekend with a small swell and gentle offshore north westerly winds, it would have been ideal for fishing offshore in the kayak. I had the day off on Friday, but all my plans went out of the …
Harbord Bowling Club Fishing Comp – May Round
This month’s fishing comp was against the Narrabeen Sand Hotel fishing team. Weather conditions last weekend were less than ideal with winds predominantly from the South (South West or South East), with a reasonable bump in the swell. A reconnoitre …
