my spouse and I will be joining a motorsailer in Loch Melfort for a few days cruise.
Given the current emphasis on health and safety are there any specific questions we need to ask or any potential downsides we need to be aware of?
 
Check the quality of all the onboard malt personally. Dont leave a drop untasted. I have heard there are odd well worn male socks dumped all over the area too. The culinary facilities may be used in the morning, but become a health hazard once the sun starts kissing the horizon on the way down. Best repair to a reputable hostelry at that point for some decent fodder.

Cant be too careful you know.

Have a great time...................

The onboard malt is kept under lock and key and I understand socks are often kept warm on the stove.
Should I cancel even tho I may lose my deposit? (Not everyone does)
 
Good advice ... but better if you delete the words "kissing the horizon". Sunset and official closing time are much too close together at this time of year to allow proper comparison between malts which have and have not been for a sail.

hm, the fad for contracting out the cleaning has spread even to the little-known northern maritime NHS establishments and other similar homes for the terminally deranged, with the inevitable result being that the place needs a good wash. It wd be highly appropriate to take a rolling stones cd (play safe - take a LP) specifically "Paint it Black" as a present.
 
Sound advice.
I understand its customary to stay up until three in the morning drinking beer and rum, whereas I'm normally in bed by ten thirty.
What sort of excuses can I give for an early night?
 
bring a gas mask ... two reasons: the last ebespacher blew in reverse and covered occupants with soot and noxious gases and i saw a box with new(ish although dear heart believes it to be 2nd hand at vast cost saving) ebespacher in the back of his espace which wee dougie in the yard might, by now, have fitted. Wee dougie fitted the last one. secondly, there's the masherating bog which if wee dougie's had a go at, might eclipse hlb's exploding kazzy ......
 
Listen youse
Ra moment hasnae yet presented itself when ra tricky subject o' yin eberthingie can be menshuned therefore its still in ra box - sae zip yer lip ye great owersized lummox
 
jings .. ahm awfy sorry .. really, ah am ... ah shud hae ken't when ah saw ra box hud a pictoor orra Dobbie's cauli seeds .. mah lips are seal't ....

There's 2 burners, a grill and a fine oven. Anyway its going to be so hot next week we'll be on salads - I've had a special cruising haircut and bought myself some Factor 99 to ward off the harmful rays of the sun. In addition to all of that I've had Dear Heart wash my cruising shorts and am considering getting my knees waxed.
Wishing to look my attractive best for the Spouse of the Sadler, I'm away to the local Clinique studio where I understand they will sort out the rather manly testosterone fuelled hairs which seem to be sprouting in abundance from my ears and up my nose. - This should help me hear her murmer sweet nothings about the very professional way I run the ship and my all round wonderfulness as well as helping me smell.
 
Well you make sure to pop in by Crinan on friday night on your way north. We should be either in the basin or up past the first lock.

...helping you smell? How odd.

Will be en-route through the canal on saturday.

Will give you a call on the vhf.

Enjoy your week's cruising.

Hope to see you around in july/august
