We were in Puerto Rico for our winter maintenance period, just starting to bring on crew for the sailing season. I’ve never worked on a boat where people drink underway and I don’t think I’d want to.

On boats you usually don’t get told you’re fired until you reach port.

Working on a boat. We got a new shipmate who had worked there on previous seasons, most of us didn’t know him but he was good friends with another member of the crew. The day he got in the two of them spent the night catching up and getting absolutely trashed. Night ended with new guy stumbling in to the cook’s cabin and pissing right on the cook while he was sleeping. New guy was fired that morning without having worked a single day.

  • cut the neck off a plastic bottle
  • thread the end of the bag through
  • fold the bag open around the bottle neck
  • close the cap, trapping the bag between the bottle neck and the cap.

I’m sure it works but any other method of closing the bag from the top two rows are better imo, at least for bread.

I can do it with tallship designs from the age of sail, there’s more of them floating around than you might think.

Yup, same thing

It seems to work. I’ve never done a side by side but my pickles are pretty consistently good.

Never heard of using horseradish, I should try that next time

Are those raspberry leaves? What do you use them for? I add them to my pickles because I don’t grow grape leaves.

Their mouths are actually surprisingly small relative to their body

There are situations where you need to pack a gsw with gauze but a tampon is a terrible thing to use for that and you’d be better off using a tshirt or something.

I thought the 1993 Mario movie was pretty fun
