4X4 insurance

For those that have 4X4's what insurance company do you use. I ask this as all the standard insurance companies will take your money but the fine print says you are not covered unless on a gazetted road or designated off road area.

So bad luck if you damaged your car driving along some beach access track or remote back block fire break.

 


New Camera

Well the FEDEX man arrived today with my new camera. The drama's with my old one have still to be resolved, but this one is more a still camera than a dedicated movie one.

 

Its a Panasonic DMC - FX18, fully functioned with high quality lenses. 8.1mp.

 

Here are a few test shots this evening, scaled down significantly to fit on the site, but you will get an appreciation for the type of fish pcs it will be capable of capturing at the Monte's next week.

Oldies

 Lulu was a prostitute, but she didn't want her grandma to know.  One day, the police raided the brothel and took all the girls outside and made them line up.  Suddenly, Lulu's Grandma came by.  Grandma asked,

"Why are you standing in line here, dear?"

 

Not willing to let her grandmother know the truth, Lulu told her that

the police were passing out free oranges and she was just lining up for some.  Why, that's awfully nice of them.  I think I'll get some for myself, "Grandma said, and she proceeded to the back of the line.

 

A policeman was going down the line asking for information from all the prostitutes.  When he got to Grandma, he was bewildered and exclaimed,

"Wow, still going at it at your age?  How do you do it old girl?"

 

Grandma replied, "Oh, it's easy, dear. I just take my dentures out, rip the skin back and suck 'em dry."  The policeman fainted.

great trip with plenty of bust offs and a handfull of landed fish .
got trevz ,red throat , more empror species cobia etc .
the dissapointing part was the lack of easterlies so no balloons wich was much needed as the tuna schools were just outa casting distance with some fish estimated to 5o kg plus absolute barrels!!!
cheers brenz
