For this post I have;
Painted the fibreglass brown so it looks like wood and stuck some holes in for authentic leaks.
Grown a beard, bought a Breton cap and a pipe.
Chopped 6 foot off the mast so I can use it as a a gaff and stuck a telegraph pole over the bow.
One leg was amputated below the knee but I am using a mahogany stump since the NHS has run out out of white false legs.
---Now to the point-------
Reading CollRegs in bed is a guaranteed way of NOT getting your leg over
BUT there is fun to be had with that best-seller "The International Code of Signals"
Waving code flag D in the bar late at night (Please keep clear I am manouvering with difficulty) is a jolly wheeze, but it gets better.
As you zoom past a yacht in your Sunseeker, trying to capsize him with your wake turn back towards it, pass alongside slowly and hoist the flags "M R Z "
(Were the results of the enema successful ?)
The yacht will respond with "M B V "
(Temperature is rising)
Or "M C A"
(Pulse rate is rising)
Should you have made your first pass slowly then the yacht might hoist " M E M"
(Vomiting is present)
Any Solent yacht on a Bank Holiday afternoon might hoist "M L E"
(Patient has had much alchohol)
If you are embarrassed by your skipper´s action then use " M C X"
(Patient is delirious)
Unless he has been on the VHF then "M J D"
(Patient has flatulence)
For the boys outing, as you sail past that bikini clad all-girl crew on a sunny afternoon you should hoist "M F K"
(Penis is swollen)
Finally, at midnight on Christmas Eve for the last few years I have hoisted "M O X"
(The child has been born)
The closest thing in the code book to Happy Christmas.
Get out yer flags !
