You've got your foulweather gear on, you're trussed up like a Xmas turkey, you have to climb on to the bottom mast step to adjust something, but in all that fat gear it's not easy. You have to put some effort in to get your leg up that high.
You fiddle about with halyards and flappy bits and descend back to the deck only to realise your undercrackers are vanishing into a dark recess that is currently only accessible if you fully disrobe.
Which of course isn't possible because, hey look, Squall coming!
The grimmace as the weather hits you, including the pelting hale storm isn't just because your face is stinging but because somewhere in a place that only you know about is something that needs fixing.
Yeah, so I wrote about it and my little voyage of discovery. Anyone else have this happen to them or is it just me?http://www.boogie-nights.org/2015/11...etween-us.html
Good to see that you found a solution in Australian brand underwear. Sad to say it might not actually be made in Australia. I think you need to know that camel toes and similar, can be quite attractive, even if uncomfortable.

that's very true, I think they are outsourced to china. LIke many things these days.
I ordered a bunch of extra stuff directly from the Australian website once I made the discovery in the UK shop. Not all of it was made in china, but most was.
even with the duty and everything I paid plus shipping, it worked out cheaper than getting it from the shop near where I work.
up in the tropics it gets hot and I got over the saggy elastic

Your mates must be truly upper class HG.
They would know they would get a good biffing if they did Sam
my clothing malfunctions on a regular basis.
it looks great hanging in the wardrobe ......................
but turns to crap as soon as i put it on !!
I recall pushing a Hobie 16 through a northerly beach break off Catseye Beach on Hamilton island. The missus was parked on the trampoline, the beach was packed, and I shoved the boat through the wave, hauled myself up to a kneeling position on the aft of the tramp, reached for the sheet and tiller, and realized my speedos were around my ankles.
I could hear them laughing.............
I've been sailing for long enough to know better, and STILL it appears I manage to leave something in a pocket three layers down.
Like a phone.
And you're driving, grinding or trimming or doing something that occupies one hand. (down you dirty heathens)
Retrieving said phone requires jamming one whole arm inside scallopettes, under jacket.
Wind is picking up.
Look up, too much sail up.
Look forrard, green water over the bow.
You see a clear patch between wave sets appear in front of the bow. The sun is even shining right on it, the seas appear unruffled and calm, the wind dies to a dull moan above the crests.
You glance over your shoulder, on the horizon forms the crest of an ominous looking wave.
Helm trim feels good.
Whaddya do ?? :)
