Very scenic sailing around the Wide berth, having sailed inside it but as in the islands only when the sun is high!

I found an interesting program on TM the other day, a nice poster picture from the production ‘Show Boat’ (1951) – You Tube Featureing a huge paddle steamer. Might follow that up some time when it’s too rainy to go boating.
Have a nice weekend Harold. And oh! I tried PAC n Save for some of that red we had the other day I couldn’t find it there in the cardboard section. Drat!

Simple. Same as pukeko. Put them in a large pot with a volcanic rock and seasoning, bring to boil, then let simmer for 3 days, throw away the fish and eat the rock.

Realy?
The size of young whales??
Gosh!
I think we are generally Fearless and Indestructible in our tin can, winch up the centre plate and smootch in for a closer look.
I’m not sure about those big rubbery fish, how do you cook them?
Hey Harold! It’s Friday…

Pam, that’s probably because you gave them too wide a berth…..wisely, of course. Once caught some gigantic porae off those islands, the size of young whales.

I’m not sure I have seen a ‘ Wide Berth Island ‘, when we have cruised up the coast ? One might want to give Aunty a wide berth though.
