This week we chat to ex BIA (Boating Industry Association) boss and seasoned boatie Alan Blake. Alan recently toured the east coast of Qld in his 20metre vessel Golarra for 5months with his wife Anne so we felt it would be fitting to talk about spots to visit, the best way to have a Qld mud crab, how a boat fairs when being hit by a lightning bolt, problems with import boats along with plenty of laughs along the way.
