Passion in the front cabin

[paulineb]

I have a passion about being in bed on the boat when it's raining. I LOVE the sound of rain on the deck when I'm snuggled up warm in bed. I have asked No 4 (Samb) to go outside and use a hosepipe to get the same effect when it's not raining, but the little bugger refuses.

What's your passion on the boat? - and keep it clean guys, you know what a delicate little flower I am ;-)

Re: Claudia + Meg

You reckon you could keep up with them ??

Is this a girlie thing, then, coz my SWMBO also comes over all gooey when its raining outside the boat? I can only think of the leaks thru the windows
Nope, my particular pleasure, when everybody else has buggered off to bed, is to park myself on the aft deck with a nice moist Cuban (cigar that is) and a glass of malt and be at peace with the world

Re: Claudia + Meg

I'd die trying!

 

[Dave_Snelson]

Well I've read all of these and like all of them. The Cuban and Malt has definate appeals. I'm not sure I'd get away with the Claudia & Meg one though and I enjoy polishing my own boat (sad, I know)

I too like the rain, but on my caravan roof, 'cos my little Shakespear hasn't got a cabin!

OK, I'll settle for a flat calm sunny day, a full tank of fuel and a wide open throttle.

midnight to 2am on the thames on a very hot still night, slowing making it home or downstream.

Sitting in the cockpit in the sun with a good cup of coffee, a cigarette, and the Telegraph crossword, with MoS Chillout Session 2 playing on the sound system.

Re: eh?

Didn't say I actually did the Telegraph crossword...just find it useful for absorbing spillages ;o)

A bugger about the foredeck icebox...I should cancel your order forthwith.

Foredeck Icebox

Matts - you could always use the spare handheld VHF to call the main cabin and have a drone bring you a cold one up...

 

[Guest]

Re: Foredeck Icebox

but which spare handheld? which drone? which fridge? Foredeckloungingman can't be bothered with all this whilst he is worrying about 3 across ("large piece of wood, 3 letters, L [blank] G") especially if he's already had loads of drinks and the CD is playing "Now That's What I call A Bloody Racket" , can he?

Valid Points

Sorry - I understand now, t'wasn't my intention to make life so difficult.

May I suggest that you rip out a fore cabin skylight and mount a fridge on it's back? You could pick up power from the cabin lighting circuit, of course the subsequent cabin headroom issue and "what the fu*k is that plumbing?" issue from SWMBO will need some carefull management.

If this managment task is beyond you (as it would be for most of us), then howabout getting a clay pigeon spring / device fitted on the aft-rail and use it to despatch Buds over the windscreen. Initially there will be a high loss rate, not to mention the odd spot of hospital attendance but practice would finally make perfect?

Re: Valid Points

the forecabin skylight is miles away. the closes thing is a cd player, which is dedicated to lazy b*stards lying on the foredeck. Is there a micro-fridge device, a sort or electric wine-cooler bag thingy? and pick up tiny bits of power from the radio, praps? Alternatively I'll fill one of the fender bins with ice, yes probably that's best...

the clapidgeon thingy is an great idea, but I am wary as beiong a crap shot, or if the thingys go a bit low, and with ever crowded anchorages there may be some collateral damage. "Sorreee! Friendly fire!...Yes, sorry. Well you were quite close, weren't you? And we were here a little before you, non? And you wouldn't listen when I waved you away, would you? ..."
