Out on the Bay
 

Well,

Had the boat out today. Sails up but no wind. I mean 0!!

Engine needed running so went acoss the Bay and back. Cold in Cockpit
but nice in the Pilothouse. Coffee was good..

Surprisingly there were seven sailboats out, plus about the same number
of power boats.

Good to be out!

The best part of waking up
on a winter morn
is Folgers in your cup.

Really? Should I have my valet do some cold weather sailing to
improve her coffee making?





Pathetic Earthlings! No one can save you now!

Now see, that's clearly a fluffy french word. Only the french would end such
a word with their jaws so loose and dropped. The Germans would end such a
word with the appropriate contempt - spitting in the listener's face with a
proper and hard T!

You must be single if that's the best part of your morning.

Which poses a Question?

My galley has a twin Origo range. I fire a single burner off of
non-pressurized alcohol to perk my morning coffee. I return to the
sleeping bag and enjoy the aroma of perked coffee and the stove warming
the "Pilothouse"

Now, I've been doing this for meany years, without vents. I know the
alcohol flame does delete the oxygen level. It's worried me but not
enough to vent in cold winter air. I could use some useful comments?

I get up and dress in a sweat suit and fleece lined slipper and fire off
the other burner for home fryed potatoes with onions and remove the
coffee pot to make eggs on the other burner; still with a cloesd cabin.

As the cabin warms up I vent the main hatch, and have my second cup of
coffee.

So, how much terrible am I playing with.
