Now you are a sailor Bob how about a drop of rum?, I can bring along a bottle of Dominican 151 75% , Known in the Dominican republic as Dominican gasoline (I think half of them run their cars on it, cheaper than petrol over there )

Hey I've been sailing in the Dom Rep, about 15 years ago, and I think I've still got a bottle of that evil stuff lurking in the back of my booze cupboard. However. I've also got a rather splendidly smooth bottle of Appleton's finest.

Remember well just about doing the tour of the Appleton's rum factory about 4 years ago, you could get drunk on the fumes in the distilling plant , and the end product had to go off to Kingston to be blended down as it was 90%. We did try a few different rums that day some 30 years old, I always wondered why the people in Jamaica where always happy, they drink rum instead of water

The last paragraph of Grahams post ( 20# )should be stuck on the windscreen of all 4x4's. It's all down to experience, picked up over a lifetime. The weather this last week or so has not been the sort to take a vehicle out to play. The wind being the biggest factor in putting tons of snow where it caused the most trouble.

You've forgotten to mention their funny tobacco!

And that fish fornicate in water!

After 14 days in Jamaica you tend to forget a lot
