Grog

I was wondering how many TF folks imbibe in a beer (shot, wine, teq. etc.) or two while underway.

We had our local Christmas parade the other evening and I noticed that everyone on our boat was consuming some form of alcohol. In fact, the guys on the boat behind us were doing moonshine shots. We had a USCG and police boat escort and apparently it wasn’t an issue with them. I don’t drink when I’m on a boat that’s underway so I became the “designated driver”. Fortunately, the whole thing was done at idle speed so there was only minor chaos.

The folks in this area seem pretty casual about having some “grog” while underway. The fellow a couple of slips from me comes down with a bottle of JW Black every time they go out on his Egg Harbor. The bottle is empty when they get back. He can back his boat into his slip pretty easily, so I guess he’s ok.

So, if you’re out for a pleasant evening cruise with some friends, do you share a glass of red or a beer while enjoying the beautiful sunset, while underway? KJ

PS I had some of that "moonshine" when I got back to the dock. OMG!
