Pink trousers

Surely they're the proud badge of a happy Hampshire homosexual?

Perhaps. You certainly do see a lot of them around the Solent marinas.

I must say I have loved this thread

you guys are brilliant

I will be raising my sartorial game this year

I occasionally get parcels through the post containing all sorts of stuff

books I should read, boat fittings, some great torches to help feed my fetish, cakes, pancake mix

two days ago these turned up with a note saying

" I saw these and thought of you

they will match your lovely red sail"

bloody nora they are Chathams - and in the right size

Bright green? Or perhaps a fetching shade of turquoise?

Can I humbly suggest something from a dancewear range would send the same signals as red shoes

You have of course only received half of the required set of four shoes, the other two being the green colour ones.
To be correctly dressed heading upriver you should wear red on left and green on right; downriver you will need to change over to the other "pair".
The advantage of this wardrobe is that, in the event that your voyaging takes you across to the USA you are immediately correctly dressed for entry upriver**.

** Just remember to distinguish where you are wearing your pants.

The ability to hand roll a cigarette with one hand.

The ability to undo suspenders with one hand.

Whilst on someone else or whilst cross dressing???

The ability of 'married' sailing couples to copulate enjoyably anywhere, any time, in all sorts of weather, with the minimum of threshing about, on the narrowest of banquettes, without damage to knees, elbows, skulls, pelvises, etc.
Undoing suspenders, bras, etc in the average 'double berth' is a triumph of desire, lust and affection over location. Don't even mention pilot berths!

Given the fact that most of the people who replied here must be well into their 60's, I don't think lovemaking aboard is an all that frequent occurrence.
Speaking for myself: what I once did all night now takes me all night to do once.

Well done that man. All one can do is smile amicably

I'm just pleased SWMBO does enjoy being aboard... and long may it last

Well, the NHS 60+ blokes pill issue is for once a week*, and we do our best to expend the issue as directed, and if you are on a 41/2 month sail to and from Sweden, or even a week in Normandie..........
We agree about the 'once a king, always a king, but once a knight is enough'. these days-it's the creaky joints!

Mind you, Catherine the Great was reputed to be 'active' right to the end, and King David had his 'bedwarmers', so 'Now's yer time Maitland. Up, Guards and 'em'
