BroadAmbition Posted August 24, 2018 Author Share Posted August 24, 2018 Up at 0600, fishing and doing well but now gone off. Sailing preps, underway shortly. Cold wind but not a cloud in sight Griff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BroadAmbition Posted August 24, 2018 Author Share Posted August 24, 2018 1200rpm. Alternators for five minutes there were kicking out 115 amps - wow. All normal of course Nadine using hair dryer. It’ll be the GHD’s next. More importantly why is the electric toaster not producing crumpets? coz Grandson onboard so my galley slave is on strike cooing over him Griff 2 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BroadAmbition Posted August 24, 2018 Author Share Posted August 24, 2018 Here we are at Ranworth Staithe. It’s chokka but we got here early enough. Charlie Girl with her Dad on Blue Dolphin alongside and SteveDuk a few berths along. MrsG, Nadine, Grandson Charlie and Macie dog enjoying the sunshine on t grass. I’m enjoying yet another ‘Robin’ cocktail he introduced me to at at Beccles. There is a breeze thank goodness as it’s proper warm. We are thinking of Potter for overnight. May have two more crew members joining tomorrow Griff 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grendel Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 when I did viking re-enactment there was a tradition called the horn of plenty, this was a drinking horn filled with ale (the basis of the thing was you took a sup, then topped it up from your glass, even if you were drinking spirits). the one overriding thing was who the heck was drinking the creme de menthe, as it always ended up tasting of the stuff. by the end of the evening, the contents of the horn were generally a lethal mix, much like I suspect Robins cocktails are. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LondonRascal Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 That cocktail is very simple: Take a 25ml shot glass (plastic sort are fine). One and half of dark Rum, one of Gin, One of Vodka. Pour into a large class with plenty of ice. Add some Blackberries and fill the glass with fresh orange juice. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
