These turned up in the post

As you know I occasionally get some strange parcels

cakes, fish stew, boat bits, lights

these arrived -

all it said was.... from an anonymous  benefactor

"I saw these and thought of you

they match your lovely red genoa

size 11"

bloody nora  - they are Chathams

    Great deck shoes chathams seem to last forever, although initially expensive you get a great return over many years

    They’ll go well with your pink sailing pants.

    as it happens I do sport pink kecks occasionally due to an unfortunate encounter in a marina laundry between a red towell and everything else I own

    Show up at a marina wearing those and the pink pants and everyone will just figure you’re a posh — not that there’s anything wrong with that.

    “This way, Sir. No, of course not it’s not too-much trouble, Sir. Pleased to have your custom, Sir. We’ll have that taken care of right-away, Sir.” And of-course our best wishes to your Lady-wife, Sir.

    They’ll clash with the whites of your eyes! Very upmarket.

    Perhaps you should do a video of yourself making french toast and dancing a jig wearing these? Might stimulate a wider audience? Oh, no, perhaps it wouldn’t.
