Cool!  Not a vacation a lifestyle.  Do you have any idea of how to stop them from blasting bang bang music into my ear at 5 in the morning?

<p>OK, so here I sit, in a fantastic marina (yes I live on a boat), but every Saturday and Sunday night the local cocktail bar has a rather serious disco, or should I say Saturday morning/Sunday morning (as they finish at 6am!).  I have friends who state that the cocktails they drink in the bar taste better when they are there during disco night than when they are there on a normal night - how does this happen? </p>
