With the long fetch from Faro, the Culatra anchorage is really choppy this evening, which makes pouring a single tot of whiskey rather challenging.

Oh well, never mind. Cheers to my rather generous double :cool:🥃🥃
 
I hate waking up to find an empty bottle at the top of the companion way steps. I think the cooking fat put it there to remind Sir that he needs to reprovision before the chop gets up.

Job done and cat treats bought too.
 
Damn, choppy again and Sir is into the doubles again. Well, that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it 🥃 🥃

This liveaboard life is highly recommended. Cheers
 
I love that quote attributed to George Best (amongst others eg Oscar Wild), "I spent it on booze, birds & boats*. The rest I squandered".

* GB apparently said "fast cars", but, as we all know, including boats is far more apt.
 
Only a pleb, or single man, would drink a decent single malt straight from the bottle.

Just invest in some decent leaded glass whisky glasses of a decent volume and the nectar will not spill.

Also forget the use of a quaich - they are simply too shallow.

Yep, I fit that description and am proud of it. BTW, the cheapest, nastiest stuff keeps the visitors popping in for one, down.

Really nasty is, well, nasty. You seem to have Scots canniness and visitors who know good from bad.

Yes, it's those tight-arse visitors that are far too cheap to buy their own.
 
It's going to be another choppy evening, even the Cooking Fat is not her usual self, am guessing she's feeling queasy. Should I warn my liver?

You have lost your sea-legs. I measured it and the fetch behind Culatra is 0.4 miles. That’s not much you delicate darling.

You might want to invest in a flopper stopper. Or a catamaran instead, but they are far from perfect.
 
I'm fine. It's the cooking fat that has turned a shade of green

Well Zing, it does rather depend on the wind direction.

The fetch when the customary afternoon westerlies set in is around 4nm
