If you want a serious insight into what its like to join a ships company cold and have to fit in with your "Board of Trade companions" read the beginning chapters of Joseph Conrads "The nigger in the Narcissus" all the ex-seamen that I have ever shown in to have agreed that tho' times have changed Conrad got the feel of joining and fitting in to a ship just about perfect. Apart from that since its cold on deck try this, I learned it from a guy who was on the Murmansk run in the war, Take a "7 beller" that is a pint mug (British pint 20 fluid oz.)Put 2 dessertspoons of Cocoa powder and 2 dessertspoons of condensed milk in and mix to a smooth paste, add boiling water to about 1+1/2 to 2 inches from the top and stir carefully until it is all mixed and smooth, then add an inch of good Navy Rum to the top and stir in carefully. Drink, stirring it ocassionally, before it sets. It is one of the best "Winter Warmers" in the book it is especially good when you come off duty.
