Oyster Posted January 2, 2011 Posted January 2, 2011 We thought about you yesterday as we ventured out onto the waters. A great time was had by me and mamma.. :cool: It could not have been any better. No one was in sight for miles around us. [want more shots]HEHE! We backed right up to the beach and stepped onto the sands and made new foot prints in your honor. I hope you are doing well in your new digs and location. Stay safe and come home soon. We wish you happiness for years to come. Quote
Ken_Potts Posted January 2, 2011 Posted January 2, 2011 Ahoy Cap'n Oyster! I got home just in time to toast the new year. Now the real work begins (what to crate and what to sell). Quote
Ken_Potts Posted January 3, 2011 Posted January 3, 2011 It turns out there are pretty boats everywhere. Quote
Ken_Potts Posted January 3, 2011 Posted January 3, 2011 The possums down there are cuter than ours. Quote
Peter HK Posted January 3, 2011 Posted January 3, 2011 The possums down there are cuter than ours Except when they make a home in your boat (stored in a then not completely possum proof shed). Bit of a surprise when I came to go sailing and he crawled through the open inspection port into one of the buoyancy tanks on my Folding Schooner :crazyeyes: Quote
Oyster Posted January 3, 2011 Author Posted January 3, 2011 Great to see you are moving ahead, as I take it things went well. :cool: Keep all the possums you wish though, and even take the ones from here with you. Yuke,! I have never seen a cute one. Quote
Ken_Potts Posted January 3, 2011 Posted January 3, 2011 Peter - I wonder how the possum would have reacted if you had pressed him into service swabbing the decks... Oyster - How about quokkas... Are these guys cute enough for you? Quote
Ken_Potts Posted January 3, 2011 Posted January 3, 2011 Sticking his tongue out at an Oyster :cool: Quote
paul_stewart Posted January 3, 2011 Posted January 3, 2011 The possums down there are cuter than ours. Yes but are they as delicious ? Quote
Ken_Potts Posted January 3, 2011 Posted January 3, 2011 Wow! I'm glad you asked, Paul - I can't believe I've still never eaten possum! It's on the list now for things to do before I go. I'm not sure if Australian possums are considered food. What do you think Peter? Quote
ChrisObee Posted January 3, 2011 Posted January 3, 2011 The possums down there are cuter than ours. Yes but are they as delicious ? Mmmmm..... Quokka.... http://blog.littlevoices.com/2007/08/quokka-kiev.html Quote
Peter HK Posted January 4, 2011 Posted January 4, 2011 I can't believe I've still never eaten possum! It's on the list now for things to do before I go. I'm not sure if Australian possums are considered food. What do you think Peter? I have to admit I have eaten possum once and don't intend to again :puke_right: This was in a famous restaurant in Adelaide where the chef, of asian background, is renowned for serving "unusual" courses. It was very gamey. They are protected as an endangered species on mainland Australia but not so in Tasmania where they are farmed and apparently fed on apples and other fruits to make the meat more palatable. I'm not sure they succeed :? Cheers Peter HK Quote
Ken_Potts Posted January 4, 2011 Posted January 4, 2011 Mmmmm..... Quokka.... Yeah, but is it worth the $40,000? I have to admit I have eaten possum once and don't intend to again It sounds like your possums are cuter and ours are tastier - I'll report back when I have more data... Quote
paul_stewart Posted January 4, 2011 Posted January 4, 2011 For your dining pleasure, may I suggest you skip directly to shrimp on the barbie. Goes well with beer. Quote
Ken_Potts Posted January 4, 2011 Posted January 4, 2011 They have a big, pretty bridge in Sydney. I climbed up to the top of it with my lady and asked her a very important question. She said yes Quote
Michael_H Posted January 4, 2011 Posted January 4, 2011 Congratulations, Ken, I hate to lose a sailing pal but I'm really glad to see you happy. Of course, this means I have to start saving nickels to find a flight, but I think I can do it! Quote
Ken_Potts Posted January 4, 2011 Posted January 4, 2011 Hey Mike - Wanna buy a boat?!? You don't have to save up for the ticket if you stow away in the shipping container. Come on down and hang out for a while - Once you're ready to go home we'll get you deported. Just in case Australian Immigration is reading this - I'm joking 8) Quote
Oyster Posted January 4, 2011 Author Posted January 4, 2011 You can't get rid of that boat Ken. You have had way too much fun with it and the boat has a lot of stories to be told too under you and you co=conspirator's watch, no matter how many wimmin gets in the way. :lol: No amount of money can replace a rough and ready kid either.

Ken_Potts Posted January 11, 2011 Posted January 11, 2011 Hey Oyster - How's the snow day treating you? Quote
