LIFE ABOARD
removed a chunk of it on a hatch bolt. Oh God! Please just let me have a small, white-washed, thatched cottage with a little stream at the bottom of the garden and a few rhode Island reds, perhaps? A bathroom would be pleasant. I ran it by Hub but he just shook his head and pointed out that I would merely be bored – though, he admits, cleaner. He fancied fish for supper, but by the time I’d
untangled the hooks from my shoe, hat, wrist and deck brush, I nearly ordered a pizza. But! – I persisted and – at last – the Holy Grail of fishing made the error of swimming into my orbit. Oh yes! A sea-bass. Hub, however, is a sportsman, so he measured it, declared it too small and put it back. Luckily I later landed some Pollack. Colin, a good friend of ours, is very practical and helps us out with the many exigencies of boat life. He poked his head out of the engine hatch to inform me, “nigel isn’t as daft as you think”. (Well, I always knew he couldn’t be.) During a late night with friends, reflecting – after the second bottle – on the debate regarding Admiral nelson’s last words, as to whether he said “Kiss me, Hardy” or “Kismet, Hardy”, Hub insisted, with a dark look in my direction, that it was much more likely to have been “Clove hitch, Half-wit”. Whatever can he mean?
