I am sure that at some future port of call, YOU may be dependent on my team to extricate you from some dubious situation. Now I do not mind - that, along general security, is part of the Master at Arms' role and my team are there to support you all.

Large Scapa please Steward!

It was their skill at dealing with situations ashore involving the crew and staff of the GDII that caused me to inadvertently "misname" them Mr Mc C. (Just like a Presidential Candidate who claimed that she had "misspoken" once upon a time.)

Anyway, I try very hard to avoid dubious situations in foreign places of character, exciting though they may be. Drinking in bars with locals wearing eyepatches and hooped shirts, with knives hanging off their belts is a bit like being in an old film about smugglers and pirates. Like those clichés, I avoid them like the plague.
