Your trip to the sun sounds like it was fun. Red's is OK with me; at last count I believe they had 101 different draft beers (wonder if the have Sri Lankan 'Lion' beer which is only 11.2%, such wimps here-NOT!). MM
Because the boat only has a 7'10" beam you can row from the cockpit (portigee style) standing up.
For you mainlanders, I assumed mike meant Portigee style as Hawaiin pidgeon for Portugese style. A term depicting a great ability to adapt to conditions.
