I wish I could take credit for the nickname, but cannot. Yes t
he legend began at Keith's first Maine grouse camp at Spider lake. We were all sitting around the big table in the middle of the cabin (Josh, Keith, JT, Rich, PW, and myself) after having feasted on mosaman. We were drinking Scotch (Guiness for me), smoking pipes and cigars, when someone noticed that Keith had again changed attire for the 2nd, 3rd, 4th times that day and thus made a comment to Keith about doing so (being the newbie he was overdo for his fare share of "ribbing"). In response, Keith tried to defend himself by saying that he wasn't wearing the appropriate "cabin attire" and thus had changed. CABIN ATTIRE we all erupted!!! What the frick is CABIN ATTIRE!! It wasn't long after that someone shouted - CABIN BOY and the legend began. I'm not exactly sure who crowned Keith as Cabin Boy. I think it was Rich, but it actually sounds like something JT would say.
Legend of Cabin Boy also reaches as far as Africa. Pictured here is Cabin Boy in his appropriate Kalahari Sundowner attire.
The man's a walking Orvis catalog!
