That's a good word. Must be something to do with the old rule: "if you are in a hole, stop indigging!"

So you (one) might need to apply some patience...

Don't trucks use 24v?

Inflatable co-pilot, as in "Airplane!"?

Maybe you have to be a gentleman who goes to windward to benefit?

Of course; with white kid gloves, natch!

And, as I speculated on my report (forums.ybw.com/threads/a-knotty-anchor-problem) of a glassed-in chain locker, slithers down rather than heaping up?

And once your tea is brewed the dish can give you satellite TV to watch while you drink it!

Probably dangerous in sunny climes: there's bound to be an angle at which the curved surface concentrates the rays onto a well-oiled teak item...

Maybe just a bit of elbow-grease? ;-)

Ooh, perhaps these balcony balustrades are acting as Yagi directors/reflectors! ;-)

On early years of flotillas in the Med, with no fridge on board, I took a netting shopping bag on purpose to dangle beer cans in the sea for use when a shore-side bar was available. But did have to defend against swimmers from the rest of the flotilla...

Unless your fridge is plumbed-in such that it dumps the extracted heat overboard (and not into the cabin) it is not going to operate as air-con at all!

I suppose these days we could have electronic transparent cubes that played a choice of sounds... fake ice, anyone?

Probably better to use bought ice in a freezing mixture to freeze bottled water (assuming you can trust that...). We used to buy block ice intended for fishermen and break it up in the cockpit bare-chested to get full benefit...
