A camo hat is mandatory and you must spit out the first sip of beer.

I totally agree... Apart from the camo hat... I prefer a German spiked one from WW1... Just underlines the submarine appearence of my vessel... Lol... Will post piccies of the maiden voyage tomorrow...

Ah - I see the spit or swallow debate has re-surfaced here now... :shock:

Sorry - couldn't resist it.

Is that part of the "One swallow doesn't make a Spring but could be the start of a good summer's evening." expression?

Just done the maiden voyage yesterday... Absolutely chuffed with it... Despite the choppy sea and only 1 casualty... The rudder went as I hit a rock... Seagull is definately the way forward... Will post piccies later...
