Rain drops keep falling on my head


Went into town yesterday (Picton) to drop my Woofa's off and cast my vote, (go the Greens), not the best forecast for a trip to town, a storm warning in force, the yacht got knocked down at the mouth of the inlet and I suspect the woofa's would have been checking the undies before they boarded their bus, this leads nicely onto my next subject.

I don't go to town much, people everywhere you know, but there's a new show in town, when I first saw this contraption thoughts of 'Doctor Who' sprang to mind and when I got closer I heard a voice from inside, "some new amusement ride" I thought, well I was half right it turns out this is the new Electro Lu. 
There was a guy waiting out-side, I said, "we could be waiting a while" he said crossing his legs, "I hope not", the door opened, someone came out looking a bit flustered, the man entered what I thought was the women's side (there are two doors) but on closer inspection it turns out the Electro Lu is unisex (equality gone mad), the other door opened so in I go, the Lu started talking to me in an American accent and as the yanks seem to talk the most crap it was kind of fitting, "please lock the door" he said (maybe the girls get a women's voice), you push a button that glows to lock the door, if this button is still working next time I go to town I will go he, the yank tells me I have ten minutes, "then what I think?", will it call the police, maybe the door will just fly open, maybe it's an ejector Lu that shoots you out into Picton harbor once your times up, looking around I notice a space in the wall great idea the urinal doubles as a hand basin now that's a space saver, I suspect the girls never gave it a thought till now and may never wash there hands again, rain drops keep falling on my head starts playing while I'm thinking the urinal could be a struggle for the vertically challenged.

I was there for the number two's tho, but there's was a metal door laying on the seat, someone had jimmied open the toilet paper dispenser and to be honest who could blame them, this thing would be better described as a paper shredder, so after helping myself to 30 meters of paper I closed the door and sat down I had a slight problem the door to the toilet paper dispenser wouldn't stay shut and was laying in my lap! I don't know about you but I found having a cold stainless steel door laying in my lap while sitting on the Lu kind of annoying, plus I am the hands free type or should that be, head in the hands type, either way having to reach out to hold this door closed with my hand one cheek being off the seat, was just asking for trouble, I had an idea, I set about stuffing my bag through the handicap handle to hold the metal door closed, the clock was ticking folks as I sat there listening to rain drops keep falling on my head picturing myself flying through the air into the Picton harbor.

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 ...
