Polly Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 I know that mentioning ladies' drawers in public is impolite, but having spent some time this morning sorting Brilliant's out, I need therapy! One lovely feature of classic saily cruiser build is that there are under bunk drawers that provide excellent storage. Trouble is that they are all different but look the same, and the spaces for them are all 'the same only different' too. Result? It took me ages this morning fitting and refitting Briiliant's because inevitably the final one failed to fit the last space. Argh! I have now sorted them and, yes of course, labelled them all so next time I will be spared the hassle. Yes I know I could have done this three years ago, and no I didn't, and yes I are 'fick'. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Polly, Are the drawers not marked at the back or underneath ? If not mark them for future use. Regards Alan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BroadAmbition Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 Pauline - I just can't stand it anymore, Brilliant is so cozy and such a nice boat, full of history and character. So I need to add her to my bucket list. That is - you take me and MrsG onboard with you two for a weekend afloat and in return you two have a weekend afloat onboard 'B.A' with us - Do we have a deal?

Polly Posted April 29, 2016 Author Share Posted April 29, 2016 Alan, they are labelled as of this morning. Previously one had a bit of sticky tape saying 'stb' and one had a kind of a hatchet on it that could be a 'p', otherwise it was open to conjecture. The table also has drawers and one of those says 'Brilliant' 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JennyMorgan Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 Of his own admission, being a thoroughly decent man, Griff does proper snore. Does Brilliant have acoustic insulation? Mustn't disturb the neighbours, it's worse than running the engine in the early hours! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BroadAmbition Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 it's worse than running the engine in the early hours! That depends on what type / model of engine you refer too Griff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Polly Posted May 6, 2016 Author Share Posted May 6, 2016 We are all prepared for Griff...bumper bargain pack of Baby Wipes, just to annoy him. Rondonay ran on baby wipes, and they come in very handy on Brilliant too, which our esteemed Naval friend considers to be 'out of order' on a boat. I suppose actual babies are rare in the Navy. ...... ? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
