Grateful Red - day 18

another day of sailing, drifting and popcorn with beer chasers. slowly moving toward st. lucia.

In the old days when the wind went light to drifters the crew selected the crew member bringing the bad luck with the wind, put a cannonball in the bad luck crew member's drawers and dumped him overboard. Not so sure how effective this technique was in obtaining wind but probably highly effective at keeping crew whining in drifter days to a minimum. so far I have been using the lot of cold beer technique - easier to enforce.
