Boat Martinis

I emailed my dear friend, Mer, yesterday, to say I was enjoying a boat martini while Greg was doing boat stuff.  She asked what a boat martini was so here goes:

First, walk 3 kilometres and get a Zip car in Berkeley.  BTW, there are no Car 2 Go in San Fran so you have to walk all the way to a Zip Car location.  Pay $35 for 3 hours and hunt for boat parts (Reliable Parts, Raymarine dealer, electronics store) and finally reach the true destination, a delight for every Canadian homemaker, chef, or cook over 30 - Trader Joes!!!   Buy limes and gin and other really cool food you cannot get in Canada.   Return to boat and splash a bunch of gin in a glass.  No measuring as there is no room for shot glasses on a boat.  Also, no room to store a cocktail shaker.   Squeeze half a lime in each glass.   Add 3 ice cubes from an Igloo cooler that has been converted into a freezer.   If it is a bit cold outside put on Gord's nighttime glow-in-the-dark gloves.  Sip and enjoy the perfect boat martini!!!!
