Stop listening to them. This is what they want the inside of your boat to look like:disgust:

I'm not sure I understand why you're being so sparing?

I forgot ice and lemon

 

[scsr]

Oh dear.... I appear to have been easily influenced. But then, the boat has come with a dedicated drinks cabinet and some very nice Azimut branded glasses..... :angel:

Where's my invite?

A drone

I have just had my roof surveyed by a drone to provide evidence against a builder I am probably going to have to sue. It's ideal for that and similar purposes but I'm wondering what would you use it for on a boat.

On second thoughts, I suppose you could use it to find an empty marina berth, or somewhere to land your dinghy, or to look at the menus displayed outside restaurants.

Sat TV, Sky F1 and Internet

To be fair, before we retired in 2017 we imported espresso machines into NZ ... G

As fantastic as that looks, it looks like a nightmare to clean just for a coffee. Keep it simple with an Aerobie Aeropress. (or a Miele self cleaning machine)
