Those parrots and cabin monkeys wear out so quickly , yanno er ... cj? I don't know how to break this to you but (apart obviously from the Lumus thing) I don't normally indulge in the naval tradition to which you refer. Sorry. <reflects> But then it's a long time since I've done a long offshore passage. (To clarify, by "done a long offshore passage" I mean sailed a voyage of some distance at sea, not entered the enticing bottom of some tall but sexy midshipman). Who knows what might emerge from the darker side if we were alone together night after night with nothing but the ocean to distract us. I do get amazingly horny on a boat; whether it's the exciting intimacy of isolation or the lure of all that ropage or the subtle influence of recalling the traditional flogging punishment or even the fact that watersports is so simple and practical on board a yacht, I don't know. Interestingly sailing is the one time I can happily work as 1st mate under another skipper if he's good. (By "work under" and "1st mate" I do not of course mean bottoming to his top in his bunk with a view to a lifetime nuptial commitment). So maybe here is a solution to the troubling Lumus affair - perhaps I could find closure at last. Which side of the bed do you sleep? At sea, I always sleep with one eye, and one ear, open, SunDude, and my backside covered. Perhaps the happiest solution for us both would be to cruise with an all female crew ? Screw the old naval traditions that you refer to, Captain, except, of course, that the crew does as it's told and follows orders to the letter or pays the price for infractions. In my experience, there is never a lack of willing, nubile female crew available to chose from. And, of course, the happy option of changing said crew at various ports of call when necessary.
