Ron Bateman RIP Mate An old story of Ron, February 1970 at Portland Victoria, whilst we on Sydney were doing Guard of Honour for the Queens Visit Ron, Naughty boy got a slap on wrist for pinching the local Hotel ( I think it was Hotel's) Flag off the flag pole when we were out on the Piss.

Ron Bateman’s funeral took place this afternoon. As expected, it was only a small family gathering, and the family did him proud with emotional stories of his life. For those who were unable to view the live stream, here are a few shots to remember Ron.      RIP Ron Fair winds and following seas.

It was the only pub, and as I remember a few 'items' were liberated during our visit. I think they were happy to see us sail off into the distance.

I think it was Cid Island. We went up through the Whitsundy Passage to "Clean Ship". And, as a reward, as many as possible were taken to a nearby beach by LCM, for a big banyan. I can still remember seeing a huge shark passing us by. We sailed back out to sea passed Hayman Island, before heading south. |
