One Careful Owner Awards of
2016
I get to enjoy a
couple my favourite One Careful Owners but as always I copy the folder
from my desktop to a thumb drive and hand it over to the skipper who goes off on
his own to perform the serious task of judging. I’m handed back the results with
all other pictures having been deleted. Mmmm, but his decision is final. Whilst
I wait patiently, I gather up the games results of the year and look back at our
mileage.
Our Year: This
year Beez Neez safely saw us through 5872.2 nautical miles and eighty two stops
throughout Australia, Indonesia and Malaysia
bringing our total since our At-Venture began on the 6th of June 2008 to
31,773.21 nautical miles. Our total miles together
34,368.42.
Games Results: The
new game this year soon became a firm favourite, I trailed right up until
December but snuck forward. Huh.
Tri-ominoes Big Bear 287 - Me 294
Double Huh. Upword got short shift
this year with only eight games being played – Big Bear 3 - Me 5. Rummikub was as usual not a problem for me but
again took third place behind Tri-ominoes and Backgammon. Triple Huh. Big Bear 31 to my 101 and a profit of
$1466 (very modest). Mexican Train
Dominoes was a happy year for me despite Bear trying really hard
and making some ground. Big Bear 46 to my 61.
My best victory ever at my particular
favourite – Backgammon – Big Bear
156 to my 180 and a whopping new financial record with a gain of $1063.
There is insufficient room for my
Huh’s.
Sadly, I lost at Sequence – Big Bear 12 to My 7, well about time I won at something if only for you not to get a
clean sweep....................
