Patio -itis

[ParaHandy]

An affliction caused by the desire to build a plastic extension to the rear of a boat ..

Hersel' has demanded a sheltered area where she can take the morning air whilst scoffing her croisants and other occasions.

As far as I can tell, she's aware that such a device can not remain erected whilst underway but one can never tell whether such is considered by her a mere technicality espoused by a nitty norah. Her experience on a certain aged auld grey tub may have led her to believe so and she doesn't fully comprehend the difference between an ocean greyhound and the aforementioned tub. But, I wonder if mah fine auld tub could benefit from modern technology. After all, even the cheapest of convertible cars have a cover which upon flicking a switch retracts into some compartment ... or a coupe type of enclosure which could double as the hull of a dinghy which would answer hersel's criticism of the existing tender which seems always to get her airse wet ..

which seems always to get her airse wet ..

Such disrespect towards that pert appendage will find you in deep and smelly hot water ye Scaldie. I shall make it my business to see that it does. Now, on a serious note I observe that you refer to ma fine shup as the auld tub - the same auld tub, I presume, that you were begging me to get up tae the hameland in time fer next year's Chents Cruise. This on account of you not wanting tae spend - and I quote " anither feckkin minute oan Sadlers floating freezer"

And finally - your own fine craft - the passingwind30+. Ocean Geyhound.........?

I think not

You should be enquiring of your erstwhile chum's mental health, instead of taking umbrage at the sleight offered in a moment of strife
We should be gathering round Parahandy to discover the nature and cause of this ill thought out adventure.
The fine forumite is thinking of desecrating the fine lines of the Ocean Greyhound, a thought not made by either the designer or builder, whose teary gleam at the picture of sheerline and tumblehome perfection are about to be sullied by the addition of a 2000 quid B&Q Pergola.

For shame that you shouldn't recognise a friend in trouble.

I can see Mrs Ps' point about the damp croissants though. Mayhap you should enquire about the availability of a sister ship, since she would appear to be awe struck (as I was on Sahona) with the coddling accommodation afforded to Sailors requiring a sheltered area to munch croissants in.

Been at the Loch Dhu again?

Been at the Loch Dhu again?

Can't afford it since you informed me how much it was 'worth'.

In fact, not a drop has passed the lips since Saturday, something of a recent record.
