And when I mention that, it's met with a shrug. Maintaining discipline on a civilian watercraft where the victualling officer is not inclined to cooperate is intolerable, but there simply isn't much that you can do about it if you want to continue to get laid...LLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05538854359365988863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17194754360386448.post-66413923314033638302013-05-01T12:37:09.684-07:002013-05-01T12:37:09.684-07:00Buck: Yeah, I make it sound drastic but it isn'...Buck: Yeah, I make it sound drastic but it isn't as hard as receiving dental work.<br /><br />LL: ..."You're the skipper..." <br /><br />Very funny! I may understand what you meant right there but those words are meaningless on the Barco! Her make me a sandwich before getting down to sanding and varnishing... That there is comedy GOLD!<br /><br />K&C: Exactly. We have a minimum of teak but zero would (Pun!) be best. Have fun cruising...<br /><br />Thanks everyone, for continuing to stop by!Barco Sin Vela IIhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15621907771132379553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17194754360386448.post-29033391130091044632013-05-01T11:44:20.713-07:002013-05-01T11:44:20.713-07:00We love the beauty of teak, but we hate having it ...We love the beauty of teak, but we hate having it on our boat.

I'll enjoy keeping it up. It will be stress reducing and therapeutic." <br /><br />Famous last words.<br /><br />Isn't what that what the boatswain is supposed to do since there isn't any paint to chip. You're the skipper. You should be supervising, beer in hand, while the spousal unit deals with maintenance issues. (she dosn't read your blog -- does she) Maybe she could fix you a sandwich first before she gets that teak stain on her hands.<br /><br />;^)LLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05538854359365988863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17194754360386448.post-50180121931107716182013-05-01T08:54:25.620-07:002013-05-01T08:54:25.620-07:00Ah.
