On Thursday 22nd November our PROBUS club took an outing to the Napean Belle.
Photos and story are below.
WAITING FOR THE RAMP TO BE FIXED after it got smashed about in the wind. |
ONBOARD LUNCH WAS SERVED Looks like Carolin is saying grace for her table, Bless her... |
OLVIA giving Lional directions , Lional looks impressed too |

The SHACK again |
It was beginning to feel a lot like Christmas on board the Napean Belle. |
More beautiful purple along the bank |
MADE IT BACK to DRY LAND the hair was a bit worse for wear but safe and sound |
OUR LOVELY COMFORTABLE CONNECT COACH |
THE NAPEAN BELLE |
A say BRAVE because we copped all kinds of weather.
Rain....Wind.... and Dust Storm.
Liam is a wonderful driver and we had no problems but the weather wasn't too nice for him to drive in .
We stopped for a lovely morning tea provided by Connect Coaches with plenty of tea, coffee and beautiful slices etc cooked by Liam's lovely wife who was our hostess.
They both looked after us really well.
We arrived safely and stood waiting for the Nepean Belle to arrive...
And here she comes looking beautiful.
Notice the red boarding ramp was all ready, but got smashed a bit when they came in to pick us up. |
We were lucky this happened before any of us set foot on it because it broke badly and could not be used...
The crashed ramp |
THE RAMP UNABLE TO BE FIXED |
Oh well, we just had to wait until they could sort out what to do, it had the captain and crew all scratching their heads a bit.
Finally, they were able to send a crew member on a road trip to pick up another boarding ramp from their base....
The lovely Nepean Belle was worth the wait and the food offered for our lunch was FANTASTIC .
We all enjoyed the trip and our lunch.
The captain wasn't able to navigate his way up the river through the NARROWS because of the high wind but he did an impressive three point turn and took us in the opposite direction.
Not many noticed though because they were too busy enjoying the beautiful lunch ...
It was a nice day out and we all enjoyed it regardless of the weather giving us a hard time.
*********************************************
Thanks, Alan for organising this lovely outing.
even with weather from every season ......
We still enjoyed.
