always start the stugeron the night before, and top up in the morning with another 2
best dropping em about teatime, then if you feel drowsy, jut fuck off to bed( and dont forget to set your alarm lol )
then a dry breakfast ( toast etc n a cup of tea, as opposed to coffee n oranjuice shit)
then do another 2 a few hrs before setting sail
im a commercially endorsed skipper ( 60mile limit) and ive spewed my ring on more than a few occasions, normally up on the bow away from the party of anglers on the deck of me old charter boat
normally bought on by the 4am finish drinking and 7am on the boat bollox
ps, if i am gunna spew, and not due to the above, its on those glassy calm days with a big rolling swell you hardly see, but feel!!
if its lumpy as fook, thats not an issue
did my skippers ticket on a passage from essex to hartlepool, ( 3 days) with a good 4-5 northeastley all the way, twatting the boat beam on all the way, was not the most pleasurable experience
, but hey ho, it led me to become commercially endorsed charter skip
