Sliema yacht marina eh? My how things have changed.

We often parked our ship HMS Alamein up Sliema creek and anchored mid stream for a quiet evening out at the Blue Circle bar a mere dghaisa ride away. We would come in front end first and somehow the skipper managed to turn it round on a sixpence before tying up to a buoy fore and aft.

A game of darts with the locals was the highlight of the evening. After which getting into a dghaisa, whilst drunk was quite tricky as was getting out and back on board.
