YVRguy .. my flares and stuff are in a dedicated slider compartment just forward on the port side.. The sundowner locker has a great Port (for sipping with an occasional cigar) some fine tequila, some outstanding sour mash whisky, and some Sailor Jerry ..
Ahh you bring up an excellent related subject: The onboard bar. Out of self preservation I often keep a minimal stock but at best I would include the following:
- Tanqueray 10 gin (mostly when the admiral's aboard)
- Glen Livet 18 scotch (a ship's staple)
- Mount Gay XO rum (for sipping and occasional rum and coke)
- Goslings rum (mixed with ginger beer and lime for the official boat drink)
Interesting to note the regional differences. I wouldn't be surprised if you carry some fresh mint for that bourbon
