But Pat's wine chiller is so cold he can't swim in it!!! Here in the Northeast, we can't chill the wine as well as Pat except in winter but we can swim now and then.

Not sure I understand the need for a wine chiller in a 29' boat. The chiller only holds 6 bottles and that's about a 2 week supply for a couple of oenophiles (less if friends are around). The whites and rose's will store just fine in the fridge. The reds won't go bad at room temp in 2 weeks. If you go on a trip of longer than 2 weeks, you're going to need to resupply in port anyway. It's cute, but a bigger fridge makes more sense. Plus a fridge is configured to hold beer or margarita mix with equal aplomb while the wine chiller is more of a single purpose device.

Sheesh...what a Neanderthal. I'll bet you don't even lift your pinky when you drink. You're obviously not Ranger material, Roger.

And, I've just discovered an even more significant discrepancy between C-Brats and TugNuts. Those snooty-toots really are a bunch o' snobs...I just ran a search for the term "fart", and there's not a single hit over there. Here - 61 occurrences. 62 after this post.

Well if you drink it from the bottle, it's best to use all fingers to support the weight.

BTW- there's 309 occurrences of "nerd" on the C-Brat site vs only 5 on the tugnuts

Now, now... let's not drive a wedge. Even if Ranger people don't fart, we still have more in common than those riff-raff multihull ragbaggers or worse: wake boarders. Cool Can't we all just get along?

Let me be the first to extend them a hand in friendship... here, pull my finger.

BTW you can store at least 3 cases of wine under the forward berth on an R 29 in air conditioned or heated comfort for those longer trips and Pat's larger beer bottles from Snoqualmie Falls Brewery will fit in the wine cooler just fine, with standard beer bottles in between . So we CAN all get along .

Yes, that would be a rational use of the wine cooler, indeedy!

In the PNW we (C-Brats) often use the following method for wine cooling. Use a line with marks at 12", 24" and 36". Write down the pertinent information from the label for refernce after the label is removed by the following process. After anchoring or docking, on the shady side of the boat, lower the bottle into the water. For reds at 12", whites 24" and sparkling wine 36". (C-brats usually drink sparkling wines, Ranger Tug folks may prefer real champagne). These depths can be moderated by 6-8" depending on the season.
