Following some negotiation with SWMBO, where I seem to have agreed to paint the whole house during February, I am pleased to be going 'away with the lads' this weekend.

There are two identical boats, maybe a MAB too. (My own vessel is marina-bound due to annual lock maintenance)

The other boat is to be skippered by a deranged wee man who has to consult the forum before deciding what shoes, socks, hats etc to buy. He will have another dour old Scot on board, who falls asleep on the train after a drinking at the boat show, and is not allowed out to play the next day. Another of their crew can't be trusted to go sailing without losing his spectacles over the side, he has to take another family member with him.

The superb skipper of the very fine yacht on which I will be crew is a little self conscious about being follically challenged, but I am sure he has adequate protective clothing. He has offered a 'fat boys breakfast' before we even leave the marina - sounds like my kind of skipper!

My question is this - Will we be allowed into the night clubs of Poole wearing shabby deck shoes, or should I nip out and buy some silver trainers before we go?
