Once we were on the hook the butties came out. Corned beef & Branston pickle. Very tasty too! There's always a story though? In this case earlier this morning Sue called me because the corned beef tin failed to open properly and the tin suddenly became a safety hazzard. When asked "Alan, can you get this can open please?" I responded by extracting a pair of leather gloves and a pair of mole grips from my tool box. I could only partly-open the ill-fated can. I asked "How are you intending to serve this corned beef?" to which Sandra replied "Sliced!". "Think again because the only way it's gonna come out of this tin is with a teaspoon" I said, and it was! Can't have too much of a good thing so we're gonna eat ashore tonight!
Before we departed we listened to the local cruisers net. Not heard anyone coming-up with this one before under the section 'Treasures of the bilge' - someone offering other cruisers out-of-date condoms! Not that out-of-date condoms are gonna be needed by the average cruiser round here is same as elsewhere we've been sailing? THere were no funny 'follow-up' comments either so perhaps these sort of things come-up often on the East Caribbean Cruisers Net?
Happy Birthday Michael. Hope you're having a good day?
