00:04I'm David Ferrier and today I meet a man who's chosen to carve his own path in a
00:08small community. He's looking past the trees and into the ocean beyond. Ron
00:42This is Ron Taylor and this is Ron's preferred method of getting around town. But don't be
00:48fooled by his modest form of transportation. He runs a successful whale watching business
00:53from the shores of Peninsula Bay. And it all started here.
00:58Are you guys recording now are you? Okay. Oh yep now sweet as Colin. I'll help you out
01:03for today even though I don't actually work here. Officially. Officially.
01:10So what's on the menu here? I've got to be honest with you most people come here for
01:13the chips. Best chips in town. Well only chips in town.
01:17Did you enjoy working here? Oh yeah man this is the place you know. See a lot of, see all
01:23the A's back there. That's our motto. On account of Colin not being very good with hearing.
01:29Hey. Hey. Hey. Hey. Hey. Hey. Hey. Hey. Hey. There we go. That's a good place to work I've
01:36got to be honest with you. Although you know for me working in a fish and chip shop just
01:40wasn't the ideal dream you know for a for a young go-getter. I set my sights a little higher
01:44than just dipping hot dogs in batter. Here. Oh no there he is. No I just, oh you can hear,
01:53you can hear when you want to hear can't you eh? Hey. Hey. Selective hearing. Nah he's good.
01:58Hey. Hey. Hey. Are you making fun of me? Oh no. Are you making fun of me? You're making fun
02:02of me.
02:02You're making fun of me. You're making fun of me. You're making fun of me. You're making fun of me.
02:03You want to be on camera? No. No you get down. Go and talk to him. He's a, he's a
02:08laugh.
02:10Have you come? Here he comes. He's eating. He's eating. Oh. This is Ron's previous employer Colin.
02:19Colin owns hook, line and thinker fish and chips. Did you come up with a name? Yeah. Yeah I got
02:25a
02:25degree in philosophy. Oh get it on camera there. That's good. Yeah. You've known Ron since the school
02:33days. Did he strike you as the type of kid that would do well? He's an ideas man. I'll give
02:38him that.
02:38You know. He'll have three, four, four ideas a day. Most of them will be um,
02:45shit ideas. But uh, even on then he surprises you with a real gem. Like whale watching?
02:52Nah. That's one of his shit ones. Oh. Hey. I'm not paying you to snorkel mate. Snorkelothicus.
03:01Oh, I'm so deep down there. We're going to have another game. There's no customers. They're going to have one
03:08more game. You've locked the door haven't you? No. You locked the door. That's the fourth time you've done that.
03:16I used to play this game all the time man. Yeah. How much money do you reckon you've spent in
03:20here?
03:21Ah, well let me see. I've been working here seven years. Three hundred a week. What's that? Seven times
03:26three. 21. 21. Yeah, probably spend about 21 grand. But I still own it. Yeah, you still own it.
03:36Actually that's a good point. I probably went straight back into the shop. No wonder he let me
03:39play it all the time. There's my retirement fund. Is that right? Yeah. Oh, difficult.
03:48Yeah, so this is where I come to get away from it all. Often look out at the sea. I
03:53feel the sea
03:53beckoning me. And sometimes Colin, I can hear Colin beckoning me. Not supposed to be up here.
04:00Talk about the land of opportunities, but no one ever mentions the sea of opportunities, do they?
04:05Pretty sure I've heard that one before. Oh, you've heard the sea?
04:10What about this one? Here's a new one. There's plenty more fish in the sea. You heard?
04:15Definitely heard that one. Yeah, I think I picked that up off someone else actually. That was a...
04:20Anyway, this is where I saw my first whale. I was just looking out there one day and there it
04:25was,
04:26in the ocean. I couldn't believe it. I said to myself, wow, that's nature.
04:35And then I thought to myself, what am I doing talking to myself, you know? Had a bit of a
04:39laugh at that.
04:41What happened? Hang on, David, I'm not finished. And then I thought to myself, hang on. Whales?
04:47And I clicked. Whaling's in my family. It's natural.
04:52It's part of my heritage. It's in my blood.
04:58Since Ron Taylor's whale watching ventures began, he's had a number of boats in what he refers to as his
05:04fleet.
05:06And then here's the pierster resistance. This is my granddad's boat. So she's a beautiful vessel.
05:13Yeah. And I'm not actually supposed to be using it, but as a dad finds out, I will be...
05:19Oh, well, no, that's all good. No. Oh, phone call there. Sorry, hang on, mate.
05:24Ron Taylor's whale ventures.
05:32Ron decided years ago an office wasn't for him. So, armed with a pen, an A5 ring binder diary,
05:39and a mobile phone, he takes bookings wherever he happens to be.
05:43And that's party, party of four? Okay. Yeah, just come down about 10.30. And, uh, yeah, bring, bring, uh,
05:49things you should bring, bring a hat. Have you got a hat? Have you got any, any life jackets?
05:54Have you got... No, no, I'm just asking. No, I've got, I've got one. Got one for myself,
05:59but if, if you guys want one, that's up to you. Yep. Okay. All right, thank you. Yep, no worries.
06:05Okay. See ya. Wow. Booking there? Yeah, yeah. Always got to be ready for the bookings. They're
06:12coming thick and fast, you know. Yeah. The phone on me here, and another one here. Ron Taylor's whale watch
06:19ventures?
06:21Yeah. What? No, excuse me. Yeah, wait. Sorry, mate. I'm talking now. It is, as specified on the
06:31poster, you might possibly see a whale. Okay? Possibly. It doesn't mean you're going to see
06:35one definitely. Yes. It's nature. It's nature. I have so seen them. Well, you go through those channels.
06:43No, you, that's fine by me. Yeah, you go through those channels. I'm not even on their box. I'm not
06:47a registered com... not a registered company, so... Oh, well, I'm sorry you feel that way. Thank you. Okay, bye.
06:56You all right, Ron? Oh, yeah. Just, you know, some people just go out of their way to bring you
07:01down,
07:02you know? What they don't understand is whales, they're scarce creatures. That's what makes it such a
07:07thrill when you see one. If they're as common as birds, who would pay to see them? Bird watchers?
07:15Yeah, maybe.
07:19Oh, no. Here we go, look. Who's that? That's Tom. He's a rival whale watcher,
07:27operates out of the other bay. It's a bloody charlatan. I should have known he'd turn up.
07:33Look at that boat. Ridiculous.
07:38What are you doing in my area, Tom? What? This is my jurisdiction!
07:47Rosie, thank you guys for coming. Cheers, mate. How's your coming, mate?
07:53Two more happy customers, mate. Saw two humpback in a spermie today. What are you filming this clown for?
08:00I've told you before, Ron, you're way out of your depth, mate. Leave the whale watching to the big
08:05boys. I'm the one who saw whales in this bay. I'm the one who started the whole thing. There's no
08:09whales
08:10in this bay, Ron. What Tinky Taylor whale failure forgot to tell you is you need to head out way
08:15beyond
08:15this point over here to see some whales. Rubbish! I've seen 36 in one sitting.
08:22That doesn't count, Ron. They were stranded. A whale's a whale, Tom. Not that you'd care.
08:30A woman's a woman, Ron. Not that you'd know. Unless I don't have an overinflated ego.
08:40Overinflated boat. Overinflated ego. Overinflated stupid jacket.
08:45Much like a whale surfacing for oxygen, Ron appears to be having a blowout.
08:56We're finally out at sea. Not far out, fortunately, but we're out.
09:01Okay, keep your eyes peeled, everyone. I don't think we're out deep enough, Ron.
09:05Yes, we are, Colin. Can I have a go with those binoculars?
09:08In a minute, Jason. Are you sure whales come this close into shore?
09:14Unfortunately, I think we've all seen how close they come in, David. Okay? They've got no sense
09:18of depth. That's why they keep getting stranded. It's like, you know, have you ever seen an incredibly
09:23fat man driving a very small car? Yeah.
09:26It's the same sort of thing. The more weight you have, the less spatial awareness you have.
09:36Oh, look. Seagull. There's all sorts of exciting things down here.
09:41Yeah. They don't want a beer.
09:43Oh, no drinking on the boat, Colin. Oh, they're light beers, Ron.
09:47That's not a light beer. Look how heavy that is. How many a days have you got?
09:50Only eight. Oh, Colin. What?
09:53We're not out of here for a week.
09:54The water is very close to the top of the boat here, Ron.
09:59Yep.
10:00I don't think we are deep in the front.
10:02Change the record, Colin. Just look out for whales.
10:06Who wants to turn with the binoculars?
10:08Can I have a go?
10:09Soon, Jason. In a minute.
10:12I'd like to try.
10:14Okay.
10:14Yeah, I heard that the Scouts lost three of their life checkers. Do you know anything about it, Ron?
10:19No.
10:20Yeah, I'll have a go.
10:24No.
10:26Nothing?
10:26Nothing behind us.
10:32It's just that everyone's had a go with the binoculars now, and now you've got them again,
10:36I thought you'd go in a circle or something.
10:38Just keep an eye out, everyone. Who hasn't had a go with the binoculars?
10:43I haven't had a go with the binoculars. Do it a second round, David.
10:45There we go.
10:46Yeah.
10:50I don't think we're deep enough here.
10:52Yes, we are.
10:54Ron is an expert in his field, and over the years he's devised a number of ways to attract whales.
11:00I haven't witnessed many, actually any, of these techniques before.
11:05What is it?
11:07This, Colin, is a whale call recording device.
11:11Hook it up to a microphone. It has a little amplifier on there.
11:15Now we do the whale calls.
11:22That's how you do it, guys. Come on.
11:31Where are you?
11:37He's saying, where are you? But like a whale.
11:46Where are you?
11:49I'm in the water.
11:54We've been out at sea for over two hours and 24 minutes.
11:58It's hot, and so far, not a whale in sight.
12:01Although we have seen lots of bird life and possibly one small fish,
12:05but that might have been a reflection of a bird.
12:09Guys, I'm pretty sure the tide's out.
12:13What are you talking about?
12:15Definitely, definitely out.
12:17Jason, can you see the bottom?
12:19Yeah, I've been looking at phages. I thought it was part of it.
12:22It was a little crab.
12:23Colin, why didn't you tell me we went out deep enough?
12:26I did, Ron. I told you three times that we went out deep enough, Ron.
12:30I told you, didn't I?
12:31You told me.
12:32Yeah, three times.
12:32No, I'm up four times, can't we?
12:34Sorry, guys. I should have told them four times. Sorry.
12:37Okay, everybody out.
12:39Sorry, everyone.
12:41That's all right, Ron.
12:42Wait, guys. I've got it.
12:44No one leaves Ron's whale ventures empty-handed.
12:47We could look for shellfish.
12:49Shellfish.
12:49What?
12:50Shellfish, man.
12:51You're shellfish.
12:52At least I'm providing some kai moana.
12:54Yeah, yeah.
12:55You got any bags, Ron?
12:56Yeah, I got some bags.
12:57Oh, sweet.
12:58Selfish bag.
13:00Selfish.
13:02Oh, that's the last one.
13:03I'll take that one, David.
13:04Okay.
13:06Just collect as many as you want, guys.
13:08It's all on me.
13:11Oh, yeah.
13:12I've got some good cobbles here.
13:14That's from my mum.
13:15Here's another.
13:16That's from my dad.
13:17That's from my auntie with a beard.
13:21This one looks like Chase.
13:25Oi!
13:27Come on, boys.
13:29Come on.
13:31Maybe someone's reported me missing again.
13:34We've been shellfishing, have we boys?
13:37What's in the bag?
13:39Oh, yep.
13:40Let's have a look.
13:44Come on, guys.
13:45You know the bag limit here is 30 per person per day.
13:48Well, how are we supposed to know that?
13:50It's on the side.
13:52That's new?
13:53That's not.
13:54Yes, it is.
13:55That's not.
13:56It's new.
13:56It's not new.
13:57I've never seen it.
13:58You haven't?
13:59It needs to be somewhere more obvious.
14:01It's on the beach.
14:03Well, these guys are Maori, so we're allowed a bit more, I think.
14:06Ron, I'm not a Maori.
14:07I'm Samoan.
14:08Oh, shh.
14:09I'm Tongan.
14:11Tongan?
14:11Yeah.
14:12I thought you were Samoan.
14:13Yeah, I thought you were Samoan.
14:15Well, how many are you loud?
14:16Oh, I've got less than you guys.
14:18He came around and ate all the Samoan food in my house.
14:21I know.
14:22Yeah, I thought you were Samoan.
14:23It doesn't matter, guys.
14:25Iwi rules don't apply.
14:27Ron, this is your third offence.
14:29But I'm a four times guy.
14:31Grow up and be a none times guy.
14:33You haven't paid your last two tickets.
14:35You can't afford this one.
14:37You're going to have to impound your boat.
14:39No, not the boat.
14:40Please, Mike.
14:41The boat's innocent.
14:42Rules are rules.
14:42We collected the shellfish.
14:44Shellfish.
14:45Shellfish.
14:45Shellfish.
14:45You're shellfish.
14:46And when you can pay the fine, then you can pick your boat up.
14:52500!
14:52Five, that's the law, 500.
14:54Man, I'm never going to be able to afford that.
14:56Please, that's my granddad's boat.
14:58Well, your granddad's not here now, is he?
15:00Oh, I'm sorry, mate.
15:02I didn't mean that.
15:05Well, you can go get it then.
15:07Hey.
15:08I'm not getting it.
15:11Oh, come on, boys.
15:13Nah.
15:17Come on, Jake.
15:20He migrated back to his favourite spot.
15:25Um, I suppose not, so I probably won't act as alone as I normally would.
15:29Are you okay up there?
15:30Just thinking about my dad.
15:32If he finds out I got the boat impounded, I'll be dead.
15:34That's the family boat, you know?
15:37This will be the camel that broke the straw's back.
15:40Dad will make me move to Auckland.
15:42I just know it.
15:43Well, maybe your dad won't find out.
15:51If he's dead, he's dead.
15:58He's dead.
16:00Honestly, I've still got the business.
16:02Yes, everything's...
16:03Yeah, the TV people are here.
16:05Oh, no, I'm not doing that.
16:08Yep, OK, I'll do that.
16:09He wants me to put it on speakerphone.
16:14Is it on speaker?
16:15Yeah, the on speakerphone, Dad.
16:17Good, because I want the world to know how useless my son is.
16:20All right, he's typical of a generation that expects everything to happen to him
16:23without actually doing any of the work himself.
16:25He's a bloody slacker.
16:27Look, Dad, I'm a tailor, OK?
16:30I'm a proud whaling tailor.
16:32Whaling?
16:33Whaling's a shit business, son, and whale watching's even worse.
16:36Well, that's not what Grandad said.
16:37That is what Grandad said.
16:39He said it all the time.
16:41Well, he was kind of losing his mind towards the end there.
16:43I offered my boy a job to come work with me, all right, selling cars,
16:47and he turned it down because he couldn't draw himself away from staring at the bloody ocean.
16:51You better get that family boat back by the time I get there this weekend, shit for brains.
16:55Oh, well, Dad.
16:59You OK, Ron?
17:06I've got an idea.
17:22I won't leave the family down, Dad.
17:31With this covert look, no-one will recognise me.
17:35Hey, Ron.
17:36How'd you recognise me?
17:38I know where you live, and I know where you're going.
17:40Don't try and stop me.
17:41I'm not.
17:42Bloody well coming with you.
17:53I have no idea what's happening, but this is probably the most excited I've ever been in my entire life.
18:08Before we do this, I've brought us some good luck chips.
18:12Got them.
18:13Good luck, Ron.
18:14Oh, sweet days, man.
18:15Yes.
18:16Cheers.
18:16Cheers.
18:18Still warm.
18:19Good chips.
18:20Oh, one last thing.
18:27I don't think I need anyone.
18:48I don't think we should even be here.
18:50Hey, Ron, Ron, please, your boat.
18:52I know.
18:53I've got to take out the security camera.
18:55No, no, why don't we just take the boat?
18:56No, I mean, I've got to destroy the security camera.
18:58Oh, go to one, Harry.
19:01Oh, go higher.
19:03Have you got enough stones?
19:04Yes.
19:05Oh.
19:07Oh, let's just use the cover of darkness.
19:09Hey, come on.
19:37Hey, come on, come on, come on, come on.
19:41Colin, what the hell are you doing here?
19:45Ron, really?
19:53Ron!
19:54Are you throwing...
19:55I know it's you, mate.
19:57I know it's you.
19:58Stop me!
19:58I know it's you.
19:58I know where you work.
20:00Ron, it is you.
20:01Why are you putting a bloody order on?
20:03Come here.
20:05Put the jandals down.
20:06I just want my boat back.
20:07Put the jandals down.
20:09Don't you dare.
20:11You're being an idiot.
20:13What?
20:14Oh, fish.
20:16Oh, mate.
20:26I'm in here.
20:27Yeah, I know.
20:29Look, over there.
20:32I won't be long.
20:34All right, come on.
20:37Ron, don't you dare stink it up in there, Ron.
20:40Ron?
20:43Oh.
20:53Well, you're under arrest too, mate.
20:55All right, come on.
20:56Stop the filming.
20:59So what does it take to carve your own path in a small community?
21:03Ingenuity, guts, determination, or is it simply the knowledge that someone's got your back?
21:10So, how are you, Ron?
21:11Oh, not bad.
21:12Colin was nice enough to give me my job back.
21:14He never left.
21:16Edit that out.
21:18Yeah, this is just a minor setback for the while-watching business.
21:20We'll be up again running soon.
21:22I'm just doing a few shifts here to pay off the fine.
21:24Making sure my money doesn't go into the old Colin bank.
21:28Order up.
21:31There you go.
21:33So how did you end up resolving your run-in with the law?
21:36Oh, that just sorted itself out.
21:37Have you got any more tomato sauce one?
21:39Yep, sure thing, Mike.
21:4050 cents extra there.
21:42No, Mike.
21:42No charge for officers of the law.
21:45Oh, thanks.
21:45Fair call.
21:46Oh, Valerie goes for gold.
21:48Oh, lovely.
21:50Hey!
21:52Hey!
21:53Hey!
21:55All right, don't put that in.
21:56I don't want me to...
21:57Yeah, no, he's just being silly.
21:58What I love about Ron is that nothing keeps him down for long.
22:02Despite all the scepticism towards his business claims,
22:05he just keeps on pursuing his dreams.
22:07And that makes this short poppy a sure entrepreneur.
22:11And, hey, that's nature.
22:21Oh, sweet ass, man.
22:22This programme was made from funding from New Zealand on air.
22:25Yeah!
