Note: I posted this in the Adventure Island section as well, as I think the topic is relevant to both categories, as not all AI guys would read this forum, and visa versa. We used AI's to do what we did here, but really, it's all about the fish :-)

Fellow Aussie AI enthusiasts, Carl holland, Holger Goehr, Paulo O'leary and I recently returned from our 2nd annual yak fishing/sailing expedition along the west coast of beautiful Fraser Island. We loaded up our yaks with ultra-light camping gear, food & water fit for a week, a bunch of fishing, photography and video equipment and whatever else we needed and embarked from Hervey Bay, sailed to the Island and followed its inner coast to the north. Like last year we experienced some fabulous sailing conditions (some tough as well) and although fishing was a bit tougher than last year, we still caught some ripper fish.

No breakages on any of our kayaks (not even rudder pins) though my seat did get savaged by a dingo, trying to get to the food inside. No injuries, though if you watch through to episode 2 you'll see my nearly lose my manhood courtesy of a great big trevally, as well as a yak-side wrestling match with a shark that I almost lost. Best watched back to back, full screen.

Part 1 (days 1-4)

Part 2 (days 5-7)

Those of you who may have watched the videos coming from our last trip would have an idea of what to expect here. More of the same, only captured on much better video equipment, and edited with much better software. Far superior end result. Enjoy :-)
