To Us And None Like Us – TUANLU

By

In the name of international comradeship and fellowship with those who love the sea – “To Us And None Like Us”

The Algoa Bay Yacht Club (ABYC) based Due North Rum Club held their annual Black Tot ceremony at the Prince Alfred’s Guards drill hall on 2 August 2014.

As Commodore of the Algoa Bay Yacht Club I was invited to attend this annual ceremony held to commemorate the demise of the naval rum ration on 31 July 1970.

We then sat down to a “Christmas Lunch” and five tots of neat double rum each toasted at:

  • 13h00: Prince Alfred’s Guards
  • 13h30: Our Land
  • 14h00: Sweethearts and Wives, May they never meet
  • 14h00: To us and none like us
  • 14h30: Absent Friends

See three of the toasts here: “Our Land”, “Sweethearts and Wives, May they never meet” and “To us and none like us!”
