Red Sun in Morning

Be prepared for white squalls. When the question is do you or don’t you, will you or won’t you, it’s time to trim the sails, pour a whiskey and batten down the hatches.

This weekend  are asking for exactly 33 words including an idiom somewhere within.
Also, 31/3/13 today.

    I'm all for pouring a whiskey and reading your cool poem. Will you or won't you, do you or don't you? That says it all. Great entry.

    Good advice for life, as well as for sailing. Squalls can be particularly dangerous for the unprepared, and they can just spring up out of nowhere, sometimes. Well done!

    Being that we live on a sailboat going from one anchorage to the next: we've learned to reef early, as early as the Capt Morgan gets unscrewed!

      Thanks for the visit, Marie!

      Here's to being in a boat with a drink on the rocks rather than being in the drink with a boat on the rocks.
