Let's have a go at FFFfAW. This is the picture and below is my story!
Recently I was chatted up by a bloke called Colin. He invited me for a day on his yacht.
Last year I did a Meditteranean cruise and I didn’t get too sick - apart from when I overdid did in the all-you-can-eat buffet and free bar - so I thought why not?

I expected a floating gin palace. Wrong! Instead, I found myself wading out to something that resembled a pointed bathtub with a triangle of cloth poking out of it!
Anyway, off we went. Oh-em-gee! We bobbed up and down, tilted from side to side and within minutes, I jettisoned the contents of my tummy into the briny.
I went below to lie down. Worse. I emerged again just as Cap’n Colin yelled ‘going about’ and the tub suddenly tilted almost sending me overboard. Then the stick thing at the bottom of the sail swung round and bashed on the head!
I could tell you lots more, but I’ve used up my word allowance!

lovely story.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much!
DeleteLOL! You never saw him again. I don't blame you. I would have left as soon as I saw that "bathtub." Haha! At least you gave it a go. Thank you for participating in FFfAW challenge!
ReplyDeleteI felt I ought to try! Thanks to you for your prompt PJ.
DeleteAn probably a good thing Rosey as sea legs are an acquired thing.
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't want them Michael, I'm happy with my pins the way they are!
DeleteSounds like a rough sailing experience. Well you were a good sport to go out with Captain Colin. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks. If he asks you, say no!
DeleteSounds like that didn't work out the way Colin was hoping, either. Lose-lose!
ReplyDeleteNo. Some you lose some you don't! Thanks Joy.
DeleteSounds like a dreadful date. Poor girl...probably took her a week to get over it. :)
ReplyDeleteA week and TWO bottles of chardonnay. I like an excuse to overdo the chardonnay!
DeleteEnjoyable read. Thanks. A nice take on the prompt.
ReplyDeleteThanks Graham. By the way, do you have a yacht?
