62.8% ABV to be precise and certainly one of Messrs Wray & Nephew's cheekier little numbers. Surprisingly palatable too I thought. I wonder if there's any left at that price?

Oor fushin wis gey puir tae, despite ra flag. After we got to Puildobhrain I spent half an hour trawling unsuccessfully for my anchor strop which I had merrily chucked overboard without first tying it on ...
It was a great weekend (what I can remember of it!) Many thanks to all, the Cruise Director in particular. Also to Sgeir and Machurley22 who put up with my oddities and left me with enough booze and FBPs to start all over again.
I haven't quite got the hang of this ritual sock swapping bit, however. I seem to have lost one (large, grey, male) and gained two (small, grey, male; small, white, female): what can it mean?

How do you manage to get that calendar to sit along your boom like that?

Given that several unclaimed socks have also appeared on Claymore, could this be the answer to the riddle of the socks that never come back out of the washing machine?
Do they go sailing?
It wis a rerr terr (translation for our foreign readers - it was jolly good fun) and a privilege to sail with you Cap'n. I learned a lot from watching you handle Avilion and hope that I made a tolerable tillerpilot. Thanks again for the opportunity.

I was carrying out a morning inspection and issueing the briefing. Pope HeyZeuss Machurl the First was obviously standing by with the holy water and I think Zgeir wiz - sorry - was failing spectacularly to suppress a yawn. The secret of LongJohn's missing pillow is plain for all to see as I had it stuffed up my ganzie...
errr... pullover
Whilst it might appear that the bold Skipper was carrying out some kind of unholy act upon his papalcy, he was in fact having a quiet nap

Re: Claysie found out LongJohnSadler\'s secret
I have to tell you that look om my face was a supreme effort to summon the courage, fortitude and endurance necessary to survive another day, and god help us night, on the chentlemans Cruise.
And yes I did see you swapping phone numbers with that lady who accosted you in the co-op queue in Lochgilphead.....

Well it's pretty wee - size 6? - and I naturally thought...
But in truth I am guilty of jumping to conclusions. Now I'm feart the thought police will get me for sexism, or sizeism, or possibly both. And then I said it was white... Oh whit'll I dae? Whit'll I dae?

Socksess - No Sock Stress - Sock Confession Following Session
Panic over - one of Fairwind's crew has admitted to shedding a sock at some point in the festivities.
Return of same is not required . . . burial at sea will suffice.

Shock Horror
Lonely is the hand and all that - I left the Sunday evening festivities early to work up the passage plan and get it registered with the Authorities and prepare the table for Breakfast.
I recall on departing from aforementioned festivities, one trooserless skipper, sat in close proximity tae one of your female crew.
Is the sock hers and is there something I missed?
