I do not know what is a French press. Is a Bodum coffee maker?

Yes, that is the type. Bodum is probably the biggest manufacturer of
french press coffee makers. The one I have at home is from Bodum, and
is made of pyrex glass. If you do a google search for "french press",
you will find lots of websites with instructions on how to use one
properly. The one I have on my boat is made of unbreakable lexan
plastic, and is not from Bodum. I bought it at a camping equipment
store.

I just took the boat's Bodum from the galley and into the knapsack as
we are going camping tomorrow...It makes delicious coffee, but
remember to use a coarse grind. Add a bit of cinnamon...mmm!

Mountain Equipment Co-op makes a hand-cranked coffee grinder that's
ultra light for metrosexual camping...but it's the right weight for a
J/30 G.

Yuk! Real men drink their coffee strong and black.

uncool- hours and hours and hours of that mind-numbing ****e the kids

tastefully concealed in the knot of a tree...y'know...really getting

My wife and I went for a nice sail today.

I would like to have gone for a sail today, but I had to repair a
rudder. :-( I'm so done with the thing soaking up water and then
bursting through the skin in the winter, I'm thinking of having a copy
of the damn thing milled out of aluminum.

Our boat and our house are separated
by a 40 minute drive through farms, colonial villages and forests. We enjoy the
drive back and forth as part of the outing. Our back yard neighbor is a horse
farm. As I turned into our road, I saw a kid riding a horse into the woods. He
was TALKING ON A CELL PHONE!

jeezus what _did_ we do without those fscking things before?

And your point? I suspect he had a digital watch on as well. Perhaps
eyeglasses.
