Actually, you may not believe it, but I have identified a spot in the boat for a spa bath. Turns out a small corner unit will fit very well up in the bow.

I like to keep my options open.

Sounds a better way to sail than having a boat load of rail meat.



G&Ts are being served in the windward spa, I'll sign up for the delivery...


Sorry, only a bow spa, but on the upside, it would be a good one….

Re: The bare necessities.

Gilow I was with customer the other day and said the bow cabin on their 50 foot cat would be perfect to convert into a spa room. I reckon there would be nothing better than having a hot tub while anchored in some remote cold anchorage. With the complexity of so many modern cruising yachts adding a hot tub is not really much of an issue.
At least if you have a small hot tub it shouldn't take much to fill it with noodles for your dining/washing time.
Cheers

Re: The bare necessities.

And a bow spa is ideal for washing the anchor chain occasionally ...

I hear you. I am actually seriously tempted. The spa could still hold sails etc.

Your noodle post reminded me of this one, something that resonates with me as a teacher…

Re: The bare necessities.

The other bonus is that anchor chain should impart a wonderful low calorie seafood flavour into your noodle spa bath.
Not sure you will need a jumbo soya sauce bottle like the one in your meme

Hmmm… I’m liking the sound of this more and more.

You are right, too much soy, but about that size in sweet chilli sauce will work.
