A WORD FROM THE CAPTAIN
Right, from the start, Michele persuaded me to write a blog so here goes.
I’m not going to tell you about sailing or towns or the fantastic scenery, but about something I’ve noticed on our travels so far in France and Italy.
Equality, or the lack of it. In nearly all the places we’ve visited there’s been an extraordinary amount of people on the beaches in boats and on jet skis enjoying the seaside lifestyle.
Now I’m no perv, just ask my friend Barb. Not mentioning any names, Barb Cogger, oops her name just slipped out. But…. I’ve noticed with and without my navigational binoculars the unequal amount of nudity out there. Not a lot but……
Mainly blokes, Kit off…. on their yachts,,,.. on the beaches, standing there bronzed and buff for all to see like the statue of David. I’m not kidding, I’ve done a fair amount of research on this, constantly looking for an equal number of female participants.
Now I’m not a bigot or sexist, just ask my mate Angus, Angus Mckiggan, damn his name just slipped out. Maybe I’m confused. But a feller, in the raw, standing on the beach looking out to sea like a naked Tom Hanks in Cast Away does not look right, even if he might be looking for a basketball called Wilson.
Worse is a middle aged or older man standing on the side of his yacht, fishing rod in hand with the worm out. I always thought the bait was supposed to be on the hook! What’s he fishing for, flying cod fish? Hate to see him jerking the rod.
Maybe these blokes are showing off, making up for their life’s inadequacies, you know, ever seen a Fiat Bambino or a Vespa, they are small and inadequate. I have a big yacht………. hmmmm moving on.
Anyway, c’mon girls, balance the ledger, Inequality is not right we need some naked Gina Lollobrigidas or Sophia Loren’s out there, maybe a bit younger ones, otherwise I might have to trade the navigational binoculars in for a compass.
Captains log, 1200 naughtycal miles and counting.
