A fruity bean burst through? Bad luck. Trust you still have a clean boiler suit to put on.

I wondered why Dartskipper was perched on the after mast cross trees and then I realised my Russian spy was "adult" sunbathing on the monkey island. A quick run up the ratlines, over the futtock shrouds to join him ---- what a lively sight to behold. Here Dartskipper -- I thought you might want to steady your nerves.

Hmmm....Methinks I will innocently nip up to Mnkey Island and check the compass up there. We do need to know that its working after all.....
Oh....errr excuse me Maam. Hate to disturb you but I need to check the compass up here. wont be long. just take a few bearings and I will be off. Ok Maam all done. Carry on sunbathing. (need to get a translation on that Tattoo she has. Looks like Japanese characters. I'll ask among the crew)

Why is there a queue past my cabin door, to the ladder to the Monkey Island? Some have been there twice (and onto the Monkey Island).
If some personnel don't come down from the upper-works, we may well have stability problems.

Hit them with anything to hand that is firm and springy, that might help and I don't think anything will come off.

Prism? Have we fallen into a an Oscar Wilde farce? We'll have Madame Arcati doing the navigating by crystal balls next.
(At least then we'll be able to calibrate Tom).

AND -- While you're up on the Monkey Island, Sir William, perhaps you'd better check the balls on the compass -- I wouldn't put it past E-S to have flogged them for scrap and replaced them with painted crystal balls he picked up in Istanbul. |

I have just checked. Tom. they are still the painted basketballs we put there when we sold them last year. The sneaky fellow has attached them to a model Dalek! He's sold the whole compass.

That's OK I'll just get a bog plunger and we can swing the Dalek. I take it there is a BoT approved Dalek adjuster hereabouts.
I did wonder why the Inmarsat dome was making lovey-dovey noises and why the stub mast looked a bit scorched.

E X T E R M I N A T E...... The last time I saw those balls they were rolling down the deck followed by a very worried monkey looking for a brazing kit.

Tomorrow we should get the hook up and slowly sneak our way to the Best place to drop our - Diplomat- off. Anyone got a plan?
We have now loaded enough canaries to take us through a bad session of Brussel Sprouts, baked beans and cabbage.

Yes FJ. Theres a small cove just beyond that headland. we are rendezvous there at 02:00hrs,1 mile offshore, NO Lights! a RIB will come alongside and take her off. We then depart heading offshore till out of sight and then proceed at 25 knots to wherever Tom says the agent wants us.

No light? That's an easy one for Tmac. You usually don't have to ask. Only problem is the bloody AC will go off too.

So, I'm wondering whether anyone is paying attention aboard here???? I don't know where this female diplomat came from that we are surreptitiously dropping off in the Canaries, but we still have our Russian spy that we have contracted to take to St. Petersburg. (Then pick up a load of sugar beets for Silvertown, and some under the counter top quality vodka for the East End pubs. Oh! Well!! IO suppose if I can't beat you-- join you. |

Tom's right guys. We SHOULD listen carefully to him. Remember that HE is in charge and has the Satphone link with the Agent.
And besides....Its his round up in the pool bar tonight.

If I'd wanted to read by candle light I'd have installed a cabin altar (high church of course, candles but no graven image). If I open the port I can't tell if the smell of hot soot and paraffin is coming from an enclosure blazing away below or you have just made one of your usual hot starts.

If he cooks like he engineerifies that hot canary tart'll be hot black bird (some, won't be complaining at that of course).

Roast canary is ok, but don't you find that the feathers get stuck in your throat?
