It’s
no question that the London Boat Show is talk of the town this week. It’s not
as much fun, however, for the boat lovers that can’t be there.
However,
there’s not use feeling like a lowly landlubber, as we’ve got a great Funny Find
to cheer you up.
Introducing
Sail Now – a great curation of everything from sailing jokes to a ‘live aboard
simulator’. As well as capturing everything that’s great about dry humour, Sail
Now also promotes Safety in Sailing, and offers great tips on everything from
spotting cloud types to tying different knots. Talk about multitasking!
If
you require further convincing, here are a few samples of the ‘Jokes’ page,
which masquerades as a list of definitions.
Sailing – The fine art of
getting wet and becoming ill, while going nowhere slowly at great expense
(equivalent to standing in a cold shower, fully clothed, throwing up, and
tearing up $100 bills, while a bunch of other people watch you).
Crew – Heavy, stationary
objects used on shipboard to hold down charts, anchor cushions in place and
dampen sudden movements of the boom.
Bottom paint – What you get
when the cockpit seats have just been painted.
Port – A fine wine, always
stowed on the left side of the boat.
Swell – A wave that's just
great.

Feeling
better now? We certainly hope so!
