Am still in office with nothing to do as yesterday.....the following is a true story....some years ago I met at a party a lovely tall slim blue eyed blonde which I fancied very much so in order to get to know her I invited her out on my boat one hot summers day..when the temperature of lake Geneva is about 25C, the sun beating down and blondes look good in mono kinies!! At the time, I was the proud owner of a 20ft Crescent weekender with a 25hp Crescent outboard (this puts the age on me!) which had a cuddy cabin with double bunk and a large cockpit. In late afternoon picked up the lady in Geneva and took off up the lake - flat calm and very hot - to a waterside eating place where we tied up the boat and sat down to an outdoor table for the lake speciality - fillets of perche, chips, green salad suitably washed down by a nice dry white Swiss wine. The evening wore on, the sun went down and a full moon came up - all very romantic! At one point I excused myself to "go and check the boat" - and on doing so I disconnected the fuel line between the engine and the fuel tank knowing that there was enough petrol in the carbs for about 10 minutes slow running and returned to my friend. Paid up and got back together to the boat, started engine, turned on lights, cast off and went out on the calm moon light waters...and lo and behold didn't the engine stop! Hell says I, something wrong with the engine - oh no says she, what will we do....I'm afraid you'll have to sleep here as we wont be able to call for help till the morning says I, trowing the anchor over the side....so pls hop in the bunk - which she did and I did BUT before doing anything with her I passed out! Woke next morning to hear church bells ringing - where am I? there's no church near my moorings (because the anchor was hanging straight down in deep water we had drifted some 10kms during the night and woke in French waters!)- whos this body in the bunk beside me? Then it all came back!!! She was in a hurry to get back to Geneva so after a swim and a cup of coffee, I managed to "fix" and start the engine - much to her surprise!!! Took off at full belt when my lady shouts "Ju go faster theres a big fish swimming after us" I look over my shoulder to see the anchor leaping along on the surface behind us -
fortunately there was no other boat around to see my embarrassment!!! The lady and I became lovers and are still the best of friends today!
Boats are great for seducing the ladies as long as one can stay reasonably sober!
Anybody else have any such tales?
Cheers
