Boatyard in a bottle

[ShipsWoofy]

You know that smell that hits you in face as you climb through the mini door into the boat shed. Hemp, oil, fresh cut wood, glues, paints... Bliss

I wish I could buy some for my oil burner.


Yes I am clinically insane thank you!

It should also have an authentic sound effect, probably an annoying whine to simulate the guy who's been working there for 30 years and believes it's his duty to tell you how to berth your boat and cook your dinner. There was a particularly incessant one at the yard we were in last winter. If I mention 'Weasel' and 'Swale', those who know will understand.

I know how they get the masts in the bottle, but I am buggered if I know how to get a boat shed in there.....

You forgot the other owners moaning about how slow the yard were in doing their boat, at least five owners complaining that their ladder has been stolen and that this year they really would get to the Scillies

a bottle full of stockholm tar would probably suit!

Re: It\'s available

It is available in a bottle, but not for your oil burner. Try the single malt called Lagavulin and almost all those hempy odours are there, highly redolent of a proper chandlers, you know the sort that have all been repplaced by swindleries flogging bubble packs.

Re: It\'s available

A very fine choice of whisky, if I may say so.
