The One Careful Owner
Finalists of 2013
  Well, Bear shut himself away for
several hours with this years entries for the ‘One Careful Owner’. The results
are totally his and his alone. He also chose the categories. His first group was
Boats. In third
place was the 4 Sale we saw in Niue. In second
place, the classic that was Jenny’s entry on Moorea.
 In first
place, the beauty from Papeete.
 I was surprised when the judge came
up with his own totally new category – Cars In
Use. He awarded first place to this
wonderfully seated and air-conditioned number. I have to say, this was a fun
vehicle.
 In second
place, although I did not agree that this was in use.
 Tonga produced the third place in old car
ladies.
 Nuku’alofa (Tonga) gained a second.
 I remember Bear choosing his first choice as soon as he saw it in Mopelia.
 In Farm
Vehicles, the skipper poses on his second place choice.
 Aitutaki gave us a first. What a classy entry.
  In the houses category Bear gave third to the St. John’s Church, Aitutaki. Second went to this wonderfully posed dwelling on Niue–
thank you to Karl, Becky, Sofia and Blake.
 First went
to this little gem on Raivavae.
 Shack with a
View went to this pearl that came complete with goat.
 Occupied
Residence went to this hotel, where we waved at a lovely
family.
 
 Specials. Third went to
the carefully owned football pitch. Second to the old
faithful. First to the splendid choice of Dave
(Alexes) for his trailer.
 Creatures. A new category found a hands down winner with this little chap and his air-conditioned home
on Mopelia.
  In the final category of Big Vehicle, Bear chose this bus to come in third. The lovely Renault to come in second. I asked Bear what his overall 2013 winner would be.
After much mulling and scratching of the beard, he said it came down to the
trailer, the tractor and his eventual choice. So the winner of the big vehicle
and this years overall beauty by the narrowest of margins – goes
to....................
 ALL IN ALL A BUSY YEAR WITH
GREAT ENTRIES
VERY DIFFICULT CHOICES HAD TO BE
