00:10 - Oh, hello, see you again.
00:19 How are ya?
00:20 - Yeah, just leave the number up for me.
00:24 - All right, just three life jackets please, Robert.
00:30 Enough, before you leave home,
00:32 check your gear,
00:34 'cause it's a long trip to get in on the water, yeah?
00:38 All right, so, salt water and metal filters don't mix.
00:43 Yeah, I'll get fresh water, is it?
00:46 You reckon, no salt?
00:47 Okay, good-o.
00:49 Okay, so these life jackets need to be serviced
00:57 once a year.
00:58 How about that?
00:59 Okay.
01:00 Good.
01:05 Isn't it a cracker?
01:07 - Yeah.
01:08 - Yeah?
01:09 - All right, enjoy.
01:11 - Yeah.
01:13 - You need to inflate your life jacket.
01:20 Leave it inflated overnight,
01:22 so you can blow into it like a balloon.
01:24 - Yeah.
01:25 - Orally inflate it.
01:26 - Make sure it's all--
01:26 - Yeah, leave it up overnight,
01:28 and in the morning it should still be inflated.
01:30 So if it's all down on the sink hole with it,
01:32 you can chuck it in anywhere.
01:34 - Very good.
01:35 - Cool?
01:36 So, I mean, I guess, have you guys been stopped before,
01:43 or is this the first time?
01:44 - No, we've had fisheries come in a couple of times
01:48 and just checked.
01:49 But, yeah, no problem.
01:52 - And obviously, Nicky's gone through
01:54 some life jacket safety with you guys today.
01:56 I mean, were you surprised to find
01:57 that some of your gear might need a check?
02:00 - Yeah, well, I think it's probably something
02:02 to take for granted, isn't it?
02:03 They're there and they're in the boat,
02:06 it's undercover when we're home,
02:07 and we only come from the boat ramp to here,
02:12 so you think, yeah, well, okay, they'll all be fine.
02:14 - And so I guess, based on what Nicky's told you today,
02:17 what has she told you you guys need to sort of look at?
02:20 - Yeah, we'll pick Says up for a start, hey?
02:22 (laughs)
