While watching one of the girls on my boat last season trying to do this last year. I realized a number of things need to happen for this boat to boat transfer to happen and still have a "safe" margarita arrive in the hand of the receiver.
requirements:
1, the lady passing the drink should be able to hold on to the boat with her feet!
2, She must have good secondary stability....
3, The receiver of the beverage would need about the same skills.
4, The helms-person on both boats must have the abilities and experience for doing such maneuvers.
5, Helms-person must me sober! (uncontrolled laughter is permissible)
Safety issues:
1, Drink must be in a plastic type of margarita glass.
2, The passer and receiver must not have one hand on the rub rails should the boats nudge each other.
3, Spilled margarita, while not a bio hazard should be contained at all costs!
4, The lady passing the drink should not be braless!
concerns:
1, the word may get out that a sailboat full of ladies is passing out drinks!
2, Bigger and faster boats will come seeking said boat!
3, The social gap between sail boaters and power boaters may get smaller.
4, traffic slow down in shipping channels may cause problems with barges and tugs as they line up to get a drink also?
5 Never offer a beverage to a CG boat crew!
