Then we get to the overnight stay on a houseboat! The houseboat was owned by Ron, the director of the company, but I have never seen a more incompetent boat operator in my life, especially when being responsible for paying customers. He apparently got his “Pleasure Vessel” operators licence off the Internet, which I know back home would not qualify you to take people out in a commercial setting. The boat had apparently just come back from the repair shop, but by the time we’d driven to our overnight destination it was clear that the Invertor was not working, so the batteries to run the lights, fridges, all other power things, would not last too long without being supplemented by running the generator, which would all be fine if he had bothered to fill it(half full), along with the fuel container(near empty). The food supplied for our overnight stay was woeful - nibbles was stale corn chips and salsa dip, plus some stuff that our guide had bought by chance on the way to the boat. Dinner was sausages, potatoes and cos lettuce, plus the cherry pie Dorothy bought on the way. Only reason it was edible was due to the efforts of our guide, who was left to do all the preparation while Ron sat around drinking beer in front of the fire that we built, and started with a lighter we found on the beach (he had no lighter or matches on board, or a tomahawk to chop wood). At least he brought a few bits of dry timber to help the cause. Then it got dark - and we were literally in the dark, because of course we couldn’t use the lights, so had to resort to a few tea candles that Dorothy found on board. We hung around the fire until late, then when everyone was ready to go to bed, he ran the generator so we could brush our teeth and flush the toilets and find our jim jams before he turned off the generator. Get up in the morning to find there was no milk for coffee or cereal (“they wouldn’t want oatmeal anyway” apparently), so Dorothy did a great job of whipping up scrambled eggs and reheating the leftovers from dinner. Then someone finds a small carton of milk at the back of the fridge at the last day of its use-by date, likely left there from the last trip, so at least we could have some in our coffee. Eventually set sail for home, and Ron proved his poor boat handling skills when parking at the marina, and he was just lucky there were a couple of us on board who could handle a rope and knew how to tie knots, because he clearly had no clue. The nicest part of the trip(for us anyway), was the horse ride at the AP Ranch. Unfortunately we got there with just enough time for the horse ride, but not enough to relax and enjoy the beautiful surroundings and explore the farm. So all in all, I give 2 stars for Dorothy's efforts, zero for organisation and resources, and a big minus for Ron the pretendy boat driver. Luckily we had a great easy going little group to share the experience, which did make the trip worthwhile in that sense - others may not have been so tolerant.
