John, I think a certain shipboard mate aboard this worthy vessel may have been there before us, because when passing the fields all the sheep were bleating 'Caaaa-aaapy

#5. Hi john. Situation brought about by idiots who don't know how to cook chicken properly, been watching to
many 5 minute meal cooking programs on telly when most items are still raw, common sense is needed. F.
I have not been done to Bluff for a very long time my brother in law did work on the tug for many years and my late wife and i did go down many times just when the oyster season was on and my wife was born and bred in Southland the pub is still there
Hi Lou.
Glad you had a nice Xmas with your mates, Have a nice Xmas and a very Healthy New Year along with everyone on site.
Bluff is or was the oyster capital of NZ, I was on the coastal run from Auckland to Bluff, gave the trawler people a tin of paint for a sack of oysters every time we hit port, now if would probablty cost an arm and a leg for a sackful.
Cheers Des

Give me a sack of Bluff Oysters and a couple of smoked mutton birds and couple of bottles of Waitemata and the Fauveaux Straits can rattle the rigging as much as it likes.

'Smoked mutton birds' well that's a new name for them, guess we've all had a couple of those!Quote:

Mutton Birds, something not seen around so much these days and not to be confused with some of the style of birds we found beside us early morning in a strange port. But then again looking at the birds......................
Sounds the same to me Richard, always went south for the delicacy !!Quote:
