No longer forbidden, just socially unacceptable.

(But for a silicon based non-life form to tell you? That is just user over-familiar).

Has the Golden Dreamer submerged or has it just gone into silent running?

No to both of the above.

Apparently I have been forbidden for the last couple of days. (Whether it is because of warped sense of humour, or some other reason, I know not)

If we are allowed, however, we will leave Aruba in 4 hours time and steer 273 degrees true to clear Punta Gallinas en route to the San Blas Islands.

Hopefully we will reach San Blas before Global Warming and the rising oceans inundate it. I could use a bit of the warmth obvious in some of the beach photos of San Blas.
Just thinking yesterday when it was 25 C that things were looking up. Today and tomorrow it will be around 13 C here in Melbourne.

Must have missed whatever it was that got you 'forbidden'.

It happened when the Chief had selected "Stealth" mode under instructions from Sir William.

Mr. McCloggie -- if you are compost mintos would you please arrange some cutouts to drop anchor off customs in El Porvenir. We will need to arrange Panamanian visas but I suspect trade goods like Laphroaig 18 year old will go a long way to completing the necessities.

I have composted my mints and have been taking things easy on the pool deck discussing the steam loco requirements with Sir William.

Right! Cutout focsle party to muster and standby it is.

I will arrange a case or two of suitable trade goods, meet any customs officials and take them to to lounge where all the paperwork can be concluded in a friendly manner.

Looks like a nice place!

You don't understand what you asked for. Stealth mode just means he's changed his boiler suit in the last month.

Sorry to keep up the pressure, but perhaps Mr. McCloggie would be so kind as to open the Marina Deck, and Farmer John man the stainless steel bar down there. Sir Williams launch should be all prepared for runs ashore, water-skiing, bringing curious maidens aboard for tours, etc., etc., ad erectum undt copulatum. (My Latin is a bit rusty but I believe that would provide satisfactory memories of various shore excursions, ship visits, etc.)

Anyone interested, by all means meet on the Marina Deck for libations on my tab.

The famous Stainless Steel bar is fully manned and ready to welcome our hosts in San Blas, it is their country to invite us to, it seems good policy to make them welcome aboard our territory. Many horses have lost their doofers to make the experience tasty.

Thank you Farmer John. Glad to hear that you are preparing Horses Ovaries to delight our guests. I was going to suggest a cocktail party, but that usually results in all cock and no tail. "Free Booze", although less melodramatic appears to have a more attractive connotation?

Whatever works !!

Stealth mode doesn't work for me, alas the smell of HFO, Tellus Oil and WD40 linger wherever I go although I must admit the sight and smell of me in the nuddy does have certain aphrodisiac effects on the ladies

You're an oul cynic, you won't come across a better class of idiot than now on board. FJ and Varley could hold their own against the entire Front Bench.

FJ and Varley are well known for holding their own, pride of the regiment they are

Nice friendly people -- we should buy some of their trade goods to send home, or save and sell on at a profit when we get to Aus.

Oh! Look at the nice smile on that pretty girl over there.

I can handle myself. In fact, when younger, I did it quite often.

Just back from a bit of a buying spree. McAllan, eh? Put my boot through that glass box and knock the neck off.

That is so good, with a little Blackcurrant cordial. Any one else for a slurp? I've kept the label, that is quite good.
