Pateman Adventure Holidays.

One of these two is an accomplished sailor. The other is a clueless halfwit who has absolutely no idea what is happening. Looking at the picture below it is not hard to tell which is which. The Patemans mentioned above are in fact John and Lisa who continue to redefine the meaning of an excellent community sponsor not just showing us around but giving us the opportunity to do things we have never done before. Today John was even prepared to put his nautical pride and joy in the hands of a complete novice. My most imbecilic action? Preparing to throw the centreboard into the water (If you are not sure how stupid that is ask any sailors out there).
I was however proud that I took part in a race and we did not come last. Although this was more due to John's tactical skills rather than my tacking skills. Not capsizing was also a bonus.


Day Two of Pateman adventure holidays. Off road driving. Quiet, peaceful, Gorgeous Scenery up in the Hunter Valley and no signs of civilization........


apart from 23 other Toyota Landcruisers. It looks like a busy day at Longleat doesn't it but to be honest the convoy was all part of the fun. It was also amusing to hear that CB radio is still alive and kicking. I even heard Lisa ask if somebody had "got their ears on" we sat back to listen for more but she failed to oblige. Not even "10 4 for a copy and watch out you have a smoky on your tail"


Thankfully we don't do this every week. We had a marvellous time but I would just get so fat 10am morning tea break 12 am lunch 2pm afternoon tea. Then at each stop the cakes come out.
The picture below was lunch at Yellow rock hill. Tina has a slightly pained expression. This is because she forgot the first rule of off roading in the Widerness. No Toilets
