Who are we fooling. It's about the Rum.

What is the sailor's drink of choice?  Rum.  Does the sailor drink rum because they sail, or do they sail because they drink rum?  The age old question.  But, really.... Who are we fooling.  If a sailor can combine things that he loves the more enjoyable the experience, but be responsible.
I love to read sailing blogs about sailing.  I found a article written in 2006 that combines the love for sailing and the love for rum.  Two of my favorite things.  You can check it out the the Cruising World website here.  It is well written and witty.  I have read this many times and it makes me smile each time.  

What sailor would be worth his salt, if he were drinking any rum other than Sailor Jerry.  This rum is made in the Caribbean and is dedicated to the craftmanship of Norman "Sailor Jerry" Collins.  He was a man who lived by his own rules.  Norman once said, "Good work is not cheap and cheap work is not good".  I can vouch for his rum, it IS worth the price.  

At the end of every sail, sailors will always find a reason to celebrate.  The Sundowner is the evening event that brings all sailors in an anchorage together for that celebration.  Take your pick of Rum recipes that can be enjoyed at anchor and shared with your fellow sailor.

As for me tonight I have a problem with Sailor Jerry Rum.... I am out!
