Just had the laugh of the century trying to imagine LJS sliding his not inconsiderable bulk into one Silkie's bunks. His feet wid be in the forpeak and his heid in the companionway methinks

I think he's developed a cunning technique for hiding his libatious tendancies though....

I sat with him in the Frog, and he drank half pints..... yes.... I tell you... half pints...... I was utterly gobsmacked..... half pints..... can you believe it..... I was thoroughly fed up of fetching them when he got onto his 17th half pint..... pah......

Last time I Stepped on board Silkie (it might have been more of a drunken plunge) in Scalasaig I caused the sea to come up through the cockpit drains and flood the cockpit.

Haven't you rude boys got anything better to talk about? Still, I suppose if you're talking about me you're leaving some other poor beggar alone.

Regarding the half-pints, a lot of folk start fast and then ease off whereas I start slow and speed up. So the initial halves were as a result of being unable to keep up with Big Jim's pints. Trouble was he didn't seem to slow down.

Silkie's quarter berths are very long in fact - they're jist no' awfy broad.

The video is of Dunstaffnage (taken by Merry Monster) during the previous blow which was not as bad as was last weekend according to MM. A boat sank on Friday night but I'm sworn to secrecy since they're apparently having difficulty contacting the owner.

But you'll have lost weight since then?
