Oh, cock.

We've been allocated a boat in the Sailing Challenge.

It's less of a gin palace than a meths shack. It's 37' and has 3 double beds & a double sofabed between 8 of us. Somehow, we have to fit stuff for a weekend *and* a Gala Dinner in, not to mention the beer.

I thought yachting was supposed to be glamorous? What happened to the jacuzzis and James Martin? They're supposed to be standard equipment!

Eeeew.

And take a hot water bottle. Even if you're going to be sailing through the earth's crust, it's always freezing on boats at night. Unless you can share a berth with someone who generates a lot of warm air while they sleep.

I don't mean earths crust do I? No. I should have said something like sailing into the sun.

You'd have to pull off some pretty hardcore tacking to sail into the sun, I think.

It's a nautical thing to do with the magnets that pull the bunnies into the atmosphere at the neap and fall tides rather than any sailing thing I think.

You're confused; "neap!" is the noise bunnies make when propelled into the atmosphere (or anywhere else, for that matter) at speed. Any sailor worth his salt(*) knows that.

(*) It's just occurred to me that that term probably comes from the time when salt-miners being feeeelthy rich.

If I take a hot water bottle, I'll be the only warm person and EVERYONE will want to share with me O.o
