Half chewed, gummed up, that sounds like something that nibbles and hoards. Excess kindness and an over rich diet may have elevated someones ideas.

I say! There seems to be a pickled finger in my glass of darkie's. Ain't brought the Admirable along with the Lambs Gravy have we?

Everyone knows you don't start a gardener like that. You take him a cup of tea whilst explaining the art of rear-end gear engaging.

any rear end stuff you can leave me out for a start. Enough of that going on down the stewards alley.

Are we there yet Tom?

Are we where yet?:chuckle::chuckle::chuckle:

Just round the next corner, then we will stop and you can have a Gregg's sausage roll.

Tomorrow we arrive at Colon ---- (much excitement down the stewards alley). The trick is to get there just after a cruise ship passes into Gatun Lake -- all the "souvenir" peddlers want to get rid of their wares and loot such as lighters, silk scarves, etc., can be had for very little.

wonder if that blokes still selling his sister there. She comes complete with wheelchair and zimmer frame by now.....LOL

Equal opportunities, she is now selling him.

Given some of the ages of prospective clients, she's probably leasing him out.

Might be needing a bucket full of Hershey bars these days with the inflation rates.

Whatever happened to the bars of Sunlight Soap?? Probably the same way as the $2 short time. :supercool:

Sunlight soap, still available in many good shops in Norn Iron and also in loads of crap ones as well.... reminds me of a song my oul granny taught me...(wanders off singing to the tune of Galway Bay)

"I think one day I'll go back home again to Ireland
if only my oul wife would pass away
she nearly drives me crazy with her nagging
she has a mouth as big as Galway Bay

Each Sunday as she takes a bath I watch her
laying in the tub she spends her day
rubbing the Sunlight soap around Loch Claddah
just to watch the suds flow down by Galway Bay"

Ah, Tmac, the songs learnt at Grannie's knee. (Stifles sob and blows nose loudly). She never thought I would sail for Colon.

Now we are in Colon, it reminded me of a good old Canadian song to be heard at:

:supercool::supercool:

Colon....some of us got cameras there at one time....After drinking a depth charge of course.

Happy Thanksgiving to all aboard Sir Wilhelm's Golden Dreamer.. oh yeah, Boss, forgot to tell you that I'm ashore for some well deserved holiday leave with the family.. anyone messin' about in no.1 hold and the helo deck will find some nasty surprises there.. but I'll be back aboard soon..

My view this morning out on the bridge wing...er the balcony where I'm at :D

greetings
 

Well, I guess i have to start sometime eh?

[QUOTE=ssr481;9370 My view this morning out on the bridge wing...er the balcony where I'm at :D[/QUOTE]

At a rough guess, that wouldn't be somewhere in the Dominican Republic, would it? Just a little bit East of Santo Domingo, Juan Dolio way??

Looks nice, where ever it is. :supercool:

Thank you and Irene for your wishes, Sir William.

Just a proposal --- suggest we head for Santo Domingo -- some interesting spots there, like the Presidio, Diego Columbus palace, the Columbus museum, the Tres Ojos caves, etc. Then head into the Mona Passage and stop off at Punta Cana to sample some of the young multi national sun bathers sans apparel.

Up to the Azores have a lazy day or two anchored off Fayal, then head for the UK. We could arrange to have our annual refit done in the Shetlands (lousy weather, but we just might be able to have a visit with the Chief Engineer's Daughter.) (If the mountain won't come to Mohammed, etc.) Could it be that Coastie's still chasing sheep up there?? Haven't heard from him, or of him lately.?? :)

all sounds good to me Tom...go for it!
Love a bit of sight seeing i do....sun bathers you say!...sounds delightful to me.
I just come from the heads, six spots to the square inch!!...must have been a good night last night.

That internary sounds very good Tom, it's always good to near Scotland around the turn of the year as it's a quiet and peaceful time of reflection for that nation.

Gentle people, much given to stamp collecting and fretwork, especially in places like Glasgow.

Steeeeriikkee onnneeeee!!!!

Florida Cays?? :supercool:

Sounds like you really got loosened up.

OK -- cutouts hoist the Blue Peter. (It's in the flag locker - no need to inspect crew digits for colour!)

Sailing tomorrow after the "happy to leave Colon after such a wonderful time party". Farmer John/Dart Skipper (whomsoever is in charge of the bridge) lay a course for Santo Domingo.

Varley, please check our inventory of cigars, as those made in Santo Domingo rival the quality of the Cuban ones. Their rum is pretty good too. Made in Cuba but packaged in SD to circumvent Country of orign regs in USA. :angel:
