I also rememeber that most of the loons didnt have pockets anywhere at all. 

So where did you keep your phone?

Obvs. 😁

When I was at skool, all the kids wore these black nylon baggies with patch pockets on the sides.

If you were daft enough to carry a box of matches in a pocket, it wouldn't be long before an older boy would knee you in the thigh - simultaneously giving you a 'dead leg' and third degree burns from your box of matches exploding.

It was f***ing hilarious... 😬

Oh, Jack! You're such a cutie, there. Your life ahead of you and a full head of wavy hair.

Anyway, the sideburns. Were they an homage to Mike Nesmith or a pre-cognitive stab at the Wolverine look as latterly popularised by Mr Hugh Jackman?

Joshing aside, that's a lovely picture

Nice yacht! I must confess I'd never associated loons with marinas - maybe festivals and urban or rural hippyish hang outs? 

Nice picture though 🙂

 

Why, thank'ee kindly young masters, thank'ee fer yer kind words. I grew up in Guernsey so I spent a truly ridiculous amount of time on boats. That one was a 48' Rampart motor cruiser, lovely old thing from the 50s, fitted with twin Perkins diesels, teak everywhere.

I was a sideburns addict, constantly changing their shape and re-growing them. I suspect this was a reaction to my appalling moustache, a weak and scrubby thing in a sad shade of ginger. At a time when all my friends were growing porn-star taches I had to keep my upper lip clean-shaven. Ah, the trials and tribulations of youth. That long wavy hair was an absolute bastard to keep groomed, too.

I'm just trying not to think of a 'guy' with a 40" waist wearing loons.😬
