well, the I have a little sailors story to tell regarding the brits:
We sailed on northern child from Gibralatar to Gran canaira last year. On a stop in Fuerteventura, Puerto Castilllo (THATS where all the brits are, fat and ugly women, must have been the national shotputt team) and had a few drinks with our skipper.
We ended up in a bar called last chance......(that explains most of the situation that night) and beat the brits 3 times playing dart pissdrunk...So basically we won in 2 of their national sports, drinking and darts...
but to save his reputation, he has about 40 pounds less than I do and I was trained from october fest. It was a great trip and a very very good skipper.
