You've got your foulweather gear on, you're trussed up like a Xmas turkey, you have to climb on to the bottom mast step to adjust something, but in all that fat gear it's not easy. You have to put some effort in to get your leg up that high.
You fiddle about with halyards and flappy bits and descend back to the deck only to realise your undercrackers are vanishing into a dark recess that is currently only accessible if you fully disrobe.
Which of course isn't possible because, hey look, Squall coming!

The grimmace as the weather hits you, including the pelting hale storm isn't just because your face is stinging but because somewhere in a place that only you know about is something that needs fixing.

Yeah, so I wrote about it and my little voyage of discovery. Anyone else have this happen to them or is it just me?

Good to see that you found a solution in Australian brand underwear. Sad to say it might not actually be made in Australia. I think you need to know that camel toes and similar, can be quite attractive, even if uncomfortable.

that's very true, I think they are outsourced to china. LIke many things these days.
I ordered a bunch of extra stuff directly from the Australian website once I made the discovery in the UK shop. Not all of it was made in china, but most was.
even with the duty and everything I paid plus shipping, it worked out cheaper than getting it from the shop near where I work.

You're talking about the 'Great Australian Wedgie' It's something mates often give
each other after a few beers (don't ask). Of course our very own Lifesavers do it on
the instruction 'Chock Your Cossies' when rowing into shore. So..yes...having your
undies vanish up your bum is something we happily live with.

I don't have mates like that Sam.
Ive been free balling for 30 years now up in the tropics it gets hot and I got over the saggy elastic

Your mates must be truly upper class HG.

They would know they would get a good biffing if they did Sam

I recall pushing a Hobie 16 through a northerly beach break off Catseye Beach on Hamilton island. The missus was parked on the trampoline, the beach was packed, and I shoved the boat through the wave, hauled myself up to a kneeling position on the aft of the tramp, reached for the sheet and tiller, and realized my speedos were around my ankles.

I could hear them laughing.............

I just hate it when I snap my Gstring!
