I have decided that a proper course on which to sail today is to tack back and forth between China and Arizona, so my helmsman has been directed to turn the wheel in a westerly direction (being that we are navigating the Pacific Rim today) and the engine room has us at thirty (30)-plus knots. boatshoes is properly attired and he and I are on the fantail, looking at the roostertail of our wake as we hang some dirty swabs out for cleaning. No, not swabbies, although there are some CANdidates for such treatment aboard the USS Chandler (DDG-996 (RIP). It is great day to be haze grey and underway!
Lychee, eh? It never hurts to read up on these things, thanks to the sage advice of SK1 P. J. Bort, "Why don't you read up on it and then you CAN report back to all of us on what you learned?" which was his clever way of saying that he did not know, either. Love ya, Uncle Phil! From Wiki: "The lychee (Litchi chinensis, and commonly called leechi, litchi, laichi, lichu, lizhi ... " It also turns out that it is not a nut, but a dried fruit, which is kind of a relief. I am not big on the feel of nuts in my mouth. However, I am reminded of TheChauffeur1's visit with me to Weeki Wachee Springs where I got my picture taken with a mermaid! What, enough, you say?!?
China is now officially The CANQuest (TM) home of the Pop! & Glug, thanks to their CANtinued use of pop top CANs. Following that action, I was faced with a beer unlike any I had ever encountered. If Pineapple Tatse looked like original Gatorade, this looked like Sprite! It was clear and fizzy and could have been 7-Up, Sprite or carbonated water, except for the smell. Back to Wiki: "a 'perfume' flavor that is lost in canning", except when it is made into a CANned beer! It had a light, delicate flowery scent that could have passed for toilet water (and I mean that in a nice way). Mouthfeel was VERY fizzy and when combined with the epic sweetness on the tongue, I would have sworn that I was drinking pop of some stripe. This is the second cloyingly sweet beer from these guys and I CANnot get behind either of them. Finish had that perfume-y sugary pop-like taste that you could get from any commercial soda pop, but with the added benefit of alcohol. Still, there are better mediums for the ingestion of ethanol alcohol.
Helmsman, bring the wheel back around! We are headed back to Arizona!
