If I run into any of them I'll offer to buy them a Ukrainian Mule....because no once should call them Moscow Mules anymore! Nice! We’re going to be down there next week - my wife just said “maybe we should provision an extra bottle of vodka just in case!” Ukrainian mules only on my boat!🤩

There’s nothing, absolutely nothing, half so much worth doing as simply messing about in boats.

This is so funny to see the Russians in Cuba enjoying the tropics, next stop Venezuela not so funny on June 19th. It would be truly traumatic if the Juneteenth festivities were marred by nuclear vaporization.

Personally, I figure that ANY festivities - or really any boring life in general - would be marred by nuclear vaporization anywhere in the world. Kind of like saying it would get a lot darker if the sun were to burn out - a Captain Obvious sort of statement.
I wouldn't worry about it too much.

Racist quip? I'm going to come to the defense of my friend here and suggest that it's up to you to explain how this is racist rather than asking George to explain how it's not.

Racist quip? I'm going to come to the defense of my friend here and suggest that it's up to you to explain how this is racist rather than asking George to explain how it's not Well, he said - seemingly sarcastically - that it would be traumatic if the Juneteenth celebrations were marred by nuclear vaporization. Juneteenth is a holiday recognizing the emancipation of the last slaves in the US. If you sarcastically state that it would be "traumatic" if those celebrations (and celebrators?) were vaporized, it sounds like you are saying those celebrations are unwarranted, or misguided, or otherwise unworthy and it wouldn't be such a bad thing if the people doing the celebrating were killed. That sounds somewhat racist to me. Did I read that wrong? That's what I was asking him. I'm now curious as to what YOU thought he meant. He hasn't come back to explain the strange comment and what he meant. I'm sure this thread will now get locked but I felt compelled to call this out rather than just take the easy way out and just ignore it.

OK, so we are currently in SXM and have not been reading this thread, but I guess I should have been. This one is done.
