[Don Carr]

Of course every skipper must carry ORC required safety gear. Bar tethers required. )

Oops..Hit the grog already.

To all Captains,

I would guess that this is a no rules bared event!!!

Harneses and PFD suggested!!!!

BB optional (barf buckets)

So the challenge is to see who can drink the most Grog, and there is no rating system to account for body mass, correct??? Is this a team or individual event??? Is this a timed event, or something more basic, like who passes out first??? Just wondering.

Mark,
Your scientific considerations as to body mass handicapping in the name fairness, no doubt, are well taken. Along with ounces of grog per pound of body mass, there needs to be some standarization of the quality (read alcoholic content) of the grog imbibed!! A flagon of substandard watered down grog may wax poor in producing seagoing mirth, but may make the sinister consumer steer a straighter course to the finish line. No Sir! I don't think we can have competitive racing along those lines. Substandard grog must incur a penalty of, shall we say, 15 seconds/mile per point of proof of the grog. Anyone for 100 proof vodka..whoops grog!

Can anyone find an "official" recipe for GROG??? Must include proper instructions and be, what, a minimum of a century old (the recipe, not the Grog)? We must be authentic about this!!! Reputation and honour are at stake!!!
As for tethers, the elastic ones will still allow one to hit the ground/deck/dock.

Captains Commanding,

All though the mates didn't like it, and it would drive some to discuss the M..... word, 4 water grog was a fact of life in the British Navy. Uh, Oh, I shouldn't have said "British"....

[Ed Haley]

Not that it would be official but there is a basic receipe that can be served aboard abroad or aboard 'thome. Add a bit or slack a bit according to your own handicap.

GROG
1 ounce rum
1 teaspoon sugar
juice of a lime
1 stick cinnamon
Boiling water to fill the cup

It's the heat of the drink that will be sure to cool you down during the hot Long Island Summer. Not that I ever drink it!
