who does what on your boat

My double meanings had got so filthy I was unable to post for fear off offending. You have been saved from a significant lowering of tone.

i tend to do most things onboard, but anybody on board gets to helm, in open water and do all the other tasks, i tend to do engines stern glands etc. but there again the crew i normally have are just warm bodies to pull ropes etc. would love to havecrew who really knew what they were doing, oh, joy! I also tend to be a little too polite when aboard, and ask nicely, until it's very urgent!!

I'll accept "boy" with very grateful thanks and ignore the other!

I do it all except fenders.
That also includes all the shouting at crew blaming them for my mistakes, all the cleaning, all the cooking, all the bodge ups and all the paying, still SHMBO never asked for a Boat for her Birthday in the first place.

Hi Pauline

Watching the women folk do the fenders bit is by far the most amusing part of the day. Especially if they're wearing skimpies.

I'm the skipper on my boat,...after all it's what Adam said to Eve innit " I wear the plants around here"! (wink)

My wife does an excellent job of handling lines and fenders and she willingly drives the boat on open water, but refuses to dock it in spite of the fact that at a Sea Ray ladies' day training she flawlessly docked a brand new 51ft Sundancer stern-in in a cramped marina. And without a bow thruster!
I do all the wash down and external tlc, plus mech and elec stuff, oh and nav. I also do grilling on our gas grill, but she does rest of food prep. There, does that give you the picture?
Happy New Year, Pauline. Hope to meet you (really) in May/June when we are over there.
