Oh, it's obvious in that photo that the sun was well over the yardarm so splicing the main brace is permitted... ;)

Yes, yes I am... :D

I'm pretty sure this must be some kind of Navy Boy banter, ...but I do not get it. I think it amounts to a justification for drinking a perfectly cold beer at some odd hour of the day. In the Army, their were no odd hours of the day for drinking a cold beer, so I don't really understand the issue...
I'm sure my Marine Corps buddies understand where I'm coming from. I have literally seen one of them pour a cold Coors over shredded wheat right before a formation run! The Air Force guys are still trying to figure out how to drink a cold beer without Civilian Contractors there to hand them a napkin and open the can.

Not included there but also worthy of reference,
* Salty – One whose level of experience is extreme. One who is "in the know" regarding matters maritime.

HURAH!! Patrick
sleek:
The longer one is out to sea the more salty you become. Sea time is the only way to become salty. The idea is you are oit in the salty air so long you yourself, like your ship, become salty. A salty person develops knowledge of the ways of the seas, of his ship, and developes the necessary no b.s. attitude it takes to handle the environment
All of this is referred to as salty.
As a youngun I was once bragging about my sea time. I was put in my place when told by the other guy, " I have more time on a salt water shitter than you have in the navy. " The reference there is the navy doesnt waste fresh water on toilets, we use sea water. He had more time on the crapper than I had in service.
