Captain Haley,
Would you be so kind Sir, to re-post your receipe for the elixir "Grog". I had some around here, but drank all of it and I forget how I made it(Da__n and don't ya know, I forgot my name, age, and home address!!!!)
If anyone else wants to know how to make it, search the site for "Grog", and Eds' receipe will show up first.
Catherine, do you know some other sites for receipes? There were many types of grog, from terrible to "you hold the gun on me and I'll drink some, and then I'll hold the gun on you and you can drink some!" In short, it is NOT a drink you would serve in the Captains' cabin unless you had drunk up all the Port in your stores!

Re:Grog..Fort Lauderdale style
A lifetime or so ago, I spent a half-lifetime in So. Florida installing a large computer system. To relieve the boredom, a significant quantity of Grog was consumed..at lunch, at dinner, at night..my favorite drink apparently.
The Grog recipe varied a little, but it contained Barbados Rum, and 150% rum floated on top, a fruit juice base, cinnimon, a touch of cloves, pineapple juice and some chunks too. Topped with a maraschino cherry. Served in a chilled large brandy snifter.
-Marvelous! One is pretty much all you want too.. at least until a tad later.
Cheers!

"....a significant amount was consumed at lunch, dinner and at night..." I dare say if I were installing such a system in a perpetual state of inebriation, the wiring would have been in such a state that it would have either fried the computers, the operators or me! So Larry...we get to see another side of you. I didn't realize that your were a "periodic souse"! HA!

Re:Grog..Fort Lauderdale style
This was back in the 70's and 80's mainly. The job entailed spending up to 2 years with a large system..1 year in the inspection, troubleshooting and verifying the systems 4 mainframes and 100's of peripherals hardware wise, then accompanying it out to the customers site and installing it, and getting it approved by the customer and government etc. The days were long, I was lonely, and quite bored actually. Drinking was about all the rec. I had so it was something we all took seriously. Nowdays, that schedule of drinking would kill me in a week. So kids..I don't recommend it! Nowdays a glass of Zinfandel is dandy..an occasional gin&tonic is a party! Funny what age does to you, heh? %^)

Re: Here's one Grog Recipe
Hmmm...that's darn close to a hot buttered rum if you add a bit of butter and skip the lime juice.
May I also suggest hot chocolate with some peppermint schnapps in it...

Re: Calling Captains Haley & Monaghan...Grog....
Well you've all heard of British Navy Pussers Rum haven't ya mateys?
Check <a href="http://www.pussers.com/pusser's_rum_and ... ">Pusser's website</a> for both the history of grog and the recipe.
True Grog is Pusser's Rum and water with lime juice and brown sugar. Blyuk! Why anybody would want to drink this stuff is beyond me. Wouldn't you rather have a <a href="http://www.pussers.com/drinks_and_recip ... nkiller</a>?
Dave, you may also be interested in which flags to fly as an invitation to splice the main brace. That info's on Pusser's website too. Go to <a href="http://www.pussers.com/Pussersrum.htm"> ... rum.htm</a> and scroll down the page.

Grog....'Painkiller'
Hi Cathy,
RE: " . . .True Grog is Pusser's Rum and water with lime juice and brown sugar. Blyuk! Why anybody would want to drink this stuff is beyond me. Wouldn't you rather have a Painkiller?"
Exactly;
The 'Grog' issued before battle minimized the felt pain from a wound received from the VERY effective 'giant splinters' flying around after you took a cannon ball to a wooden ship. In fact I seem to remember something about the ship’s carpenter being the ‘medic’. Maybe #1 can jump in here?
Occasionally running the main guns in /out a man would have the carriage roll over his toe(s) - ouch!!! The grog helped here also

Re: Now, I could be wrong, but.......
Captain Monaghan,
I have checked all references on International Code Signal Flags, and I find that the bottom two flags on Pussers' site indicating to them to "Splice the main Brace", do NOT exist! ! ! The first two signal Alpha and Delta, what do the remaining two signify???????
Now ya gotch somethin' ta do other than drink GROG on a cold winters night!

Re: Ships' surgeon.....
Captain MacDonald,
I don't believe the carpenter was ever the "Surgeon", he only supplied the appropriate tools if the Medicos' went South. Nothing like a good saw to make way for and cut a good piece of Hickory to make a proper "stump"! Ah, I think I shouldn't have put it quite that way, probably going to take a beatin' now!!!!

Re: Now, I could be wrong, but.......
Dave,
Don't forget that todays's international code of signals is not the same as that used back in the days of Lord Nelson. Anyway, if you were to use today's signal flags you can still fly 'em as displayed by Pusser's. If you're using square flags (<a href="http://www.chinfo.navy.mil/navpalib/com ... s.html">US Navy flags</a>) rather than the triangular pennants, the yellow over red over yellow is the Number Two flag, and the yellow next to blue next to yellow is the Number Eight flag.
So they're flying ALPHA, DELTA, TWO, EIGHT.
In the meantime, I'll try to find info on the historical signals of yesteryear.

Re: You Sir, Are CORRECT....
Captain Monaghan,
I forgot that the US Navy doesn't use pennants for numbers any more,they use square flags! I think it had something to do with visibility over longer distances, hence the change. Thank you for your assistance....
