Joining everyone for a "tot", (or more). Nice frie-up Sir William -- glad you had the foresight to brush most of the coal dust off the shovel before hand. Faial in the morning. Oh! Yes! Got to wash the breakfast down.

As those with good memories will recall, in my role as Chief Steward I have supplies of most beverages that can be named, and access to many others if demanded. Any requests to enliven the upcoming festivities will be gratefully received and cheerfully met.
Personally, I am investigating some of the Belgian Beers, so it will be as well to write down anything I can.

[QUOTE=billyboy;10139]O could manage a couple of Orangeboom./QUOTE]
From my experience with that stuff in Rotterdam I vaguely remember thinking it was made from onions. Had way too many of them, so probably didn't quite appreciate the finer points.

Mr. McCluggie --- glad to see you took the initiative to lay us alongside when we arrived in Horta on the island of Faial. Nice peaceful little spot with several bars close to the barbour. I think we should organise a shore party to investigate the level of entertainment provided by each establishment in turn. (One step up from a bar crawl?)

I thought Horta was near St Kilda and reckoned it was a bit busy! Anyway the alongside berth seemed free and we did not want to go outboard of anything.
Right. Ganwway cutouts mustered. Who else is up for a run ashore? McC

The entertainment bars sound good. Must nip and get a pocketfull of Hershey bars to take ashore with me. Oh and some Sunlight soap as well.

Just got back onboard after a blaze round the bars. Listen, you can still hear the wailing and crying "Come Back, Come Back" they cry, "Come Back and pay".

My first time ashore in Horta so a very pleasant tour round the local bars and an invigorating sprint - well a fast stumble anyway - back to the ship shaking off the persuing locals.
Anyone been on the upper deck lately? There are loads of what appear to be Chrismas presents lying around - looks as if somebody has been throwing them off the bridge roof. Anyway, I have detailed the cutouts to collect them all up. Reckon I will have a nightcap or two in the lounge before I turn in. McC

Heading out tomorrow - Will be asking (very nicely, grovelling, almost) Tmac if we can proceed under the Orange button. We can make it for a one day stop-over in Douglas on the Isle of Man so we can "beard" Varley in his own den. (Wonder what he'll look like without all the whiskers??)
Trivia of the day is that there used to be a country hotel up in the Yukon that was run by a Manxman and his wife -- they called the place Ben My Chree.
