I will be planning a trip to Luconia with Macko.
Macko will be the chief organiser.
Looking at dates in 2010 ... to be confirmed.
As Macko had informed it's pretty tough to get dates during the open port seasons ( months when the monsoon seasons ends )
Thus ... I am looking at April & May ...
Hope we can get a date close to open port seasons ... avoid monsoon ... avoid school holidays.
Confirmation will be made after the Rompin Sail Fishing trip in October. * If we are comfortable with his style ..then it's Let's Go Whack The Doggies With Macko !
Just posting some details up to see a show of hands how many of you guys are interested.
Below is the original email from Macko ...
