How to become a millionaire

How to become a millionaire:

I’ve got a section in the back of my agenda what is calls the season championship of backgammon for Duncan and I. We’ve plays nearly 200 games and the score is 91 - 96 for me..! Recently I added a new list to the back section of my agenda. It’s got 4 words in there; cheap, expensive, money and save. Trust me, it has a lot of little stripes underneath each of em.

It’s been a very odd week for Duncan and I. We left France 2 weeks ago. We burnt 8000 litres of fuel, saw Cassis (Fr), Barcelona (Es), Andraitx (Es, Mallorca), Palma (Es, Mallorca) Barcelona again and Palomos (Es). In these two weeks I found a lot of little secret tips for you all about how to become a millionaire.

1. Just eat bread and cheese and complain you‘re fat.

2. Walk through 1 street of Barcelona and then come back to the boat to drink your coffee, DON’T go to a terrace to have a coffee..! You save at least a 10er...

3. Don’t go and explore the city, you’ve already seen the main street, that’s enough. Just stay on the boat and watch television. Saves you from a lot of temptations.

4. If you offer to make your crew coffee, make yourself a nespresso and your crew instant coffee.

5. Tell your crew subtly that you’d rather not have them use the aircon because in this particular marina they read the meters before you leave.

6. If you order fuel for your boat, 2500 litres, and only 2480 fits in, DON’T pay for the last 20 litres.

7. If you don’t trust your stewardess enough to do your shopping, do your shopping yourself and DON’T buy anything for your crew. Let your crew serve you a gas-station-sandwich for lunch and let them work until it’s at least 5PM before they can get a shore for lunch.

8. If you still have 2 cans of coke left in the fridge, don’t buy any more, wait until the last possible moment.

9. If there is something essentially wrong with the boat and a mechanic comes and tells you what’s wrong, DON’T believe him, they’re all after your money..!

10. Ask your stewardess when you read her shopping list why she needs kitchen roll again, 4 rolls are way too much to use in a week. What does she do with it anyway, eat it??

11. When you have to pay a deposit for something, simply refuse, after all, they’re all out to keep your money. They might not give you back your deposit for that plug that is worth 500 euro’s. (?!?!?!)

12. Get your carpet steam-cleaned AFTER the season, otherwise the charterers who pay 30.000 euro’s a week for a nice boat will only make it dirty again.

So if we all stick to these rules, we might get rich! (and miserable...)
