Wannabe Captain

Tuesday, 25. May 2010

I don't care if the Code-X has been designed to throw over board existing technologies to push yacht building into the future (for example, there is a solar hybrid propulsion system for environmentally friendly cruising). I don't even have a licence to steer such a thing. In fact, I get ...

Like it or not?

Wednesday, 28. April 2010

Noilly Prat

Thursday, 04. February 2010

Currently being favoured as the kick-back drink at The Reference Council HQ is Noilly Prat, a Marseille based dry Vermouth. Noilly Prat have been producing class-A Vermouths for over two hundred years and it shows. Not too sweet, not too bitter, Noilly Prat is the best thing right now to get ...
