This and that on the boat

This and that

Any unhappiness about only being able to buy very bad balsamic vinegar falls away when you are spraying it liberally on a jellyfish sting.

Things appear to fall off the boat in threes: a teatowel (that really looked like it was drowning), a mobile phone from the rigger’s assistant (“it is what it is” was his response when I commiserated), and finally, the tiny screw that would have held our deck light bulb in place, dropped by the Australian rigger from the top of the mast.

Apparent protocol for visiting another boat: knock on the hull, call out and wait for an answer, without boarding.

Some of us are very familiar with taking business calls from our “home offices” in all kinds of strange attire. We’ve now seen people running IT businesses off their boat in the Carribbean, stealing free wifi, and pretending that wild boom of thunder was some urban noise.
