Anyone for a Gin and Tonic with 3000 year old ice!

For christmas and new years drinks we get a request at the boatshed to fill the boat up with bits of clear galcier ice when we are out and about. So just before christmas we grabbed some large bits of ice and they were stored in the -80 freezers for the parties. The ice when it is put in the drinks cracks and pops releasing air that has been trapped in the ice for 1000’s of years.

We had an excellent party in the garage with two different bands playing most people were in fancy dress. I dressed up as my roommate as everyone decided that if I was in a skirt that was fancy dress for me!

  2. Hi Ashley,
    Happy New Year to you and hope that 2010 is a great one.
    Love your blogs and saw the article in Sailing Anarchy (tipped off by the brother of the Captain of Bluenose 2 – my friend’s sons in NS).
    Have fun.
    Love Annie

  3. Told you you look brilliant in a skirt. xxx Mum. Incredible sunset/rise, and to think Sydney thought they had the best display.

  4. Ash,

    You look really pretty and I really like the skirt. Does this mean we may see you in skirts more often? 🙂
