When I was young I used to crew on the Sail Training Association ship the Sir Winston Churchill as Bosuns Mate, one year we go caught out in the channel in a galeforce 9 and we were so full of bravado that we were on deck in a gale when we passed a couple of small Cornish fishing trawlers and we realised what pussies we were. We were clipped in and clinging to the rigging for dear life while they were being tossed about like corks and still hauling their nets in and carrying on as if it were a dead calm!

Spending worthwhile time in my workshop is more valuable to me.

so why does it have to be windy to get the time off if your not fussed on working. or is that the excuse to the customer not to work ??and u cant use it if its fine

What I don't have to give any reason. I work for myself, if I can't give myself a day off, its a bad show.

Rig pig - I'm out in the forties field at the moment, couldn't walk round the stbd side this morning with the wind... Apparently we were due an 11 dropping to 8. Glad I was below decks messing with a mud pump.

We all cabined up yesterday, woke up this morning to a much nicer day, just waiting for the sea to drop off so we can get the food containers off the boat, the gally is starting to look a bit lean!

As long as you don't resort to cannibalism!

I did hear somebody on the radio saying bad wind was causing problems.
I have that problem sometimes.
