Stuck in the city

Well I made it down to the city (christchurch) to 'work' no less, yes I am a fool or maybe a horse, proably not a horse as these animals don't like me and have a habit of throwing me off.

I have been saying with my mother! yes we are still talking, just. This has been one of the longest weeks of my life, people are always complaining "where does the time go" they say, well I have the answer 'a week with your mother' will stretch that week right out.

Seems the sounds are getting under my skin (yes I'm getting soundsy) which basically means I now wear save-mart cloths and can't stand going to town. I find the city is so cold now and it has nothing for me anymore. I always was a country boy at heart or maybe it's just i don't like people that much and they are everywhere down here and they are breeding, I don't think any of them have a clue way they are breeding, I know but I'm not telling. The main problem I have at the moment is work and finding a way to do of little of it as possable, I have been thinking if I could get away with just 3 months work a year that would be about right, so 3 months work, 3 months pig hunting, 3 months fishing, 3 months talking bullshit, sounds like a full year to me.

Lost in Asia My old mate Kelly (The Admiral) who has a sister ship to mine and encouraged me to sail offshore said “Rod if you make it to Asia, you will never leave”, he might be right. Not a lot to report, currently anchored in Busuanga bay (Busuanga island) northern Palawan. I really like it here, great spot, good internet, water 1 peso a litre, a 35 minute scooter ride to Coron the main town, four resorts in the bay so plenty of dinner choices, nice breeze most days. I’m heading home late April and on return will head down early June to Malaysia (borneo) for the SouthWest monsoon season, then come back here in November.

Jannine the sacrifice

 I'd been having the usual problems with stinking Billy Goats and Red Skins (Deer) lately, bringing a couple of pups on has added to the problems, the Girls though had been catching the odd pig, between dogging deer into the tide and chewing on bloody Goats.  A couple of weeks ago they even found a rear pig, a very grumpy little boar in-fact, this fella wouldn't have weighed 85lb, but he had a bad case of small mans disease and managed to rip Ming and Lu up to the point the scene was looking like a Tarantino movie, mainly maybe because it took my sad old tired ass awhile to get to the punch-up, anyway that was two weeks ago and the darlings had recovered from their wounds, so we were rearing to go friday morning, friday being the start of the Woodburne tavern PIG& deer hunt!   My sister Di and partner had some friends here for a break over the long weekend, they were chilling out after the wine harvest know-less and one of them Jannine had hunted wit...

Getting back out there.

It had been a sad few days, with lots of reminders of Ming everywhere. It's times like this I start to question why I hunt with dogs, whats the point! There are lots of arguments around Pig hunting with dogs, humans have been hunting with dogs, since not long after the first wolf was first tamed, we then started breeding them, to the point where we now have a huge variety, mainly descendants of hunting breeds, even the poodle was a hunting dog originally used by wealthy Germans to hunt ducks. Without a doubt, dogs love to hunt and they especially love to hunt with their owners, who I believe get just as much pleasure from the hunting as the dogs do, just like we love to compete, huntings hardwired into our nature. Some of-course say pig hunting is barbaric. This argument coming from someone who doesn't eat animals or use animal products, is a compelling argument, but for anyone who eats meat, yet then likes to criticise pig hunters, I would say, if you can't bring ...
