Ps. Dodged the cat4 cyclone in Mauritius by 8 hours. Back in the Welsh Med. So I have to add diesel heaters to the mix.
Booze is the incorrect answerRoy proof locks on your funbox is a must.
Autopilot with an on-tap G and T drinks dispenser or willing galley wench. You can buy one from The States. The other is pot luck for the brave or foolish, or a SE Asia purchase for results.
Discrete solar power to ensure funbox is always cold. None of this eco setting nonsense leading to semi warm larger and ales or flat batteries after a couple days on anchor. Noisy gennies will get you blackballed.
A proper galley. A 2 meat roast on Sunday is every man's marriage dividends. Being on anchor watching the sunset with the funbox operating fulltime is no excuse not to cash in.
A fresh water tank large enough to see you through 90% cruise time so you arent worried about water conservation. Popping into a marina for water normally adds significantly to the fuel bill just to save face, an overnight stay and an expensive meal out. Money much better spent on a bigger water tank and essential cruising victuals, like cold beer.
A proper hard bottom tender with a big enough outboard that you can let it all hang out and still tear up the water like you were 18 again.
Loads more but its 10am and time to service the funbox.

Booze is to life what oil is to your engine. A lubricant, uninhibitor and coolant. Try running your engines without oil and see what misery befalls you.Booze is the incorrect answer
Well put like that…obviously…Booze is to life what oil is to your engine. A lubricant, uninhibitor and coolant. Try running your engines without oil and see what misery befalls you.
An electric blanket is like alcohol…you don’t need it …but it warms your insidesBesides, seriously, if you need and electric blanket youve missed out on my first point. Condolences
Ahh….banishment…now I understandOh, confession here, there is the element of snoring in the above equation. Dont know who is worse, but it saves on earplugs
The lecy blanket or the booze….and makes you attractive to others
Both...an electric blanket makes you warm and cuddly...alcohol makes you feel more attractiveThe lecy blanket or the booze
Asking for a friend...

+1.Most of you will answer booze and birds ….but you are wrong…the correct answer is electric blanket…got one for Christmas and it’s bliss
When a captain marries he gets demoted...A good crew and, as Eric Hiscock remarked, the best way to get a good crew is to marry one.
