Hello again Red - We are in Galveston completing an extremely profitable cargo transfer. A couple of days ago I did post a post asking for ideas as to where my fellow crew members would like to go, but todate I don't think anyone has shown the slightest interest. If I don't hear in the next day or so I'll figure out somewhere where we can enjoy the finer things in life ----- wine, women (men for Red and song in an idyllic tropical setting.

That sounds good, I was going to suggest Hartlepool, but your idea sounds fine. Any chance of some good bugs to study?

The answer was probably "maybe" anyway, Sir William.
Or perhaps "half past six".

Beachcomber once said "Taunton? You can't just say Taunton" and of course he was quite right.

Short Time, ago, Redser was admonishing us for being smutty and chauvinistic and not writing nice little tales of nautical derring-do. Next she is telling us all about her pan-jamises!!!! What ever next on her road to Damascus?? Farmer lay a course for Latakia like a good man.

Acapulco.

Lots of beach, plenty of small bars and restaurants some years ago. Might be worth a look.

That well loved Motown group, the five Tops. someone's been at the turps. FJ's narrow upbringing would not allow him to wear a red suit and John Collier didn't stock them. He would be more at home as one of Adge Cutler's Wurzels, set course for Taunton, Mr Mate.

I think I've got it -- only a short trip East of here is the Mississippi River delta and the port of N'Orleans. We could take Sir Williams launch (with his permission, of course) to the Blue Oyster bar & grill, or take a day trip on the stern wheeler riverboat Natchez, and otherwise immerse ourselves in the delights of this Cajun city, jazz, zydeco and all. Good time to go there before it gets too hot in the heat of summer.

If anyone doesn't want to go there raise your right leg.

Got it -- sailing for N'Orleans tomorrow. (I think I'll drink to that.)

I remember, when money was hard to come by, making a stew for the family when on holiday in France. Sausage ingredients were mainly "Ane". My French could sort that, luckily no-one else could.

Good stew.

I can't help looking at the remaining Panama Mule.

Money in short supply so we take the family on holiday to France. Am I missing something here?
Oh yes my children, you'll learn a few wee phrases in French but you will spew-up all around you every time you see a donkey.
I'm taking my family on a cheap day-trip to Blackpool to see live donkeys and asses and mules and if they get sick it'll be the candy floss.

steak and chips in Dieppe used to be a regular thing till I found out it was horse meat. It was not so delicious after that. (slice of horse rump was good too)

You only had to go to Burger King a few years ago to enjoy horse meat.
Something to do with Government plans to encourage everybody to avoid obesity and enjoy a stable diet.

Mr. McCloggie -- please rig the pilot ladder on the port side. Boarding fee for the pilot is 6 bottles of their best Bourbon. (Getting off lightly!) Dartskipper, Dead slow ahead. Farmer John, please serve the usual Four Bells "prior to docking ration" to all on the bridge.

Will have a starboard side tie when we get to the cruise terminal. Please let the nurses at the local hospitals know that we are having an open house aboard this evening.

Brace yourself Mr Tmac, you and me are going ashore for an RC Cola and a Moon Pie. Let the buggers on the Bridge have their choice, when we return the remainers will be ever so grateful.

After the electronic bronco, there are no buggers on the bridge.
Silver tankards of Four Bells all round, from the Special cask.
