Any other exclusive sailboat games?

Oh Heck Yeah!... the favourite on my vessel is Blind Bottle Dive..... best
done while at anchor unless the lot of you are exceptionally fast swimmers.

Draw Straws for who gets to pitch... then assemble everyone on the foredeck.
The divers close their eyes and the pitcher throws the full bottle of [your
choice of booze] into the drink and counts to whatever number between 5 and
10... when the pitcher yells "Dive!" all the divers leap into the water to
retrieve the bottle. Who ever gets it first must take a swig and becomes the
next pitcher.

Yup... you want to see the havoc that ensues after the bottle is only half
full.... it's a blast!

My favourite episode was when a buddy of mine went to dive in and got his
feet snagged in the lifeline.... went straight out like a plank... stopped
in mid air and slammed down onto the hull before sliding to the bottom of
the lagoon! Now that was hilarious!
