I like your trick about putting a hole in the bread,
I'll tell all my friends about that one. A fine
contribution. 2 pts.

I took a few friends sailing in the Charles River once.
After sailing a while, we ran down the river to eat
lunch. I warned one fellow, an Air Force Lieutenant
named Tom, to finish his sandwich quick before we headed
upwind.

He didn't and finally I had to hardened up or hit the
bridge to leeward. I yelled to Tom to trim in the jib
and he put his beer bottle in the mouth, and used his
left hand to trim in the jib. At the same time he
hardened up on the sandwich in his right hand, as he
sheeted in, he squished the sandwich. It was a funny
sight to see his expression with that Heinenken hanging
from his mouth, and the ruined sandwich in his right hand.

I've found that an egg and bread work well for me in rough going. I'd
like to sit down to Biscuits and Gravy but if you can prepare Biscuits
and gravy and runny eggs it can't be to rough.

I've seen the time when I tried to fry an egg, for a sandwich and the
damn thing filled the whole frying pan from the motion in the galley.
That is when I started to cook them in the hole in the bread.

The instant coffee; When you are bouncing around on you ear, a
perculator is a dangerous weapon. Instant coffee and hot water from a
thermo bottle will make a 1/2 mug of coffee that can be handled and a
egg sandwich over hard can be jammed in the pocket of the foulies, if
need be.

As far a Rum (Booze), in rough weather any fool that tries to manage it
in a cup of coffee is out of their mind. If you need it pass the botle
around and drink it that way. Losing a 1/2 cup of coffee isn't to bad.
Losing it with a shot of booze is a waste

If you're eating eggs over easy and making "Lattas'" you're already at
the dock.
