You are in a deserted Highland Anchorage with just one other boat. As you came in you noticed there were two people on board - 1 male, 1 female and that they appeared friendly and waved.
Anchored and settled you break out the Blue Sapphire and see the other couple are preparing to get into their dinghy. As they pass by they slow to a stop and a conversation strikes up which end up with them taking drink aboard your fine yacht.
One thing leads to another - mair drink and a few crisps and cashews follow when the female of the two says "Actually we are a couple of swingers"
I thought they were talking about something to do with the way their boat moves around when at anchor or moored and was happily going along with the line - intimating that in certain conditions we too did a bit of swinging around.
Dear Heart, being slightly more in tune with modern parlance than good self and not liking the looks the female was giving me, made a bee line for the galley with the immortal line - "Would you look at the time and us not having had our tea yet" Which left me in a bit of jam really
How could I avoid future occurences of this lamentable situation?
 
well i can see the funney side of it as it happend to me and my wife . my answer i just said thats good for those that are not satsfide with wot they got and if not satsfide they should move on lots of funney folks out there these days but each to there own regards davenever came back which was good
 
Leave SWMBO at home and find someone more willing? /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

Pay out 2 anchors and say that you never swing ....

Make sure you have tea earlier in the evening, b4 settling down with a couple of swingers!
 
Presumably then, if you are in a deserted Highland anchorage, a riding light is something altogether different?
 
Name names - boat & crew - so we can all avoid in future. Id est - avoid them completely or avoid missing them - whatever the persuasion /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif
 
Hmmm. There's a film script in this. Hugh Grant, someone curvy and pneumatic, Martin Clunes and probably her who was Kim Tate in Emmerdale (or maybe someone a tad younger).
I think the storyline might develop differently in the film though. Making tea wouldn't be a priority.
 
Come dancing ....

she would have seen you tap-dancing on the anchor up & down buttons and mistaken you for an elderly fred astaire ... ?
 
I volunteered a couple of years ago to help a couple (who I'd only exchanged emails with) to help them sail their new boat to South Brittany. When I met them at their home base in Weymouth, they turned out to be a lovely couple and I looked forward to the free ride to France.

Over the next couple of days I realised they had some fixed ideas and slightly different approaches to sailing, but I had no clue that they'd suddenly start talking about being nudists who were into swinging and sex games. They'd already decided that I must be a nudist too after a couple of anecdotes about other boats charging over the horizon when my wife or I were standing a watch in the sunshine miles offshore.

I was with them for another 4 days.

[/ QUOTE ] Could have been very embarrassing if you had innocently announced that DearHeart's preference is for fore and aft, and that she's happiest when well tied up.

Of course, they may well have been offering to check your compass for deviation!
 
Perish the thought that you may have suggested you'd thought of packing your sterntube whilst you were on the bottom! /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif

On reflection, I believe you may have witnessed the re-emergence of the legendary Monty the Mountie.

Pray tell, was there any hint of a transatlantic twang, of a red coat and a sily hat? Was there a caribou grazing on the shoreline, or a skidoo in his davits?
