WAIT FOR ME CAP'N! I'll meet you in San Diego on Tuesday. I've discovered a new bilge pump cleaner guaranteed to make the bilge pump shine like gold. I've also purchased some new boots with non-skid soles for climbing the mast and clinging to the crow's nest while I attempt to spy vestiges of land in the distance. Of course I will need a larger cabin to accomodate the new equipment. I might add that I have entreated the Almighty for fair winds and peace amongst the crew members. As for Thud, my prayer is that he will show tolerance for the Gizzmutt. How soon after sailing will we hold the initiation of the new crew members? Far be it from me to tell them about walking the plank at midnight on the first night out. As Cap'n you shall reveal that part of the voyage yourself.

You be careful cleaning the bilge pump, Nan! Remember what happened to MistyCA when she cleaned it? LOL

Can't believe you, of all persons, blabbed about initiation!!

Excuse her eagerness, folks - - she doesn't get to act out often..:))

Dutchess, I trust Gizmutt has endeared himself to Thud, and all is well.
Gizzmutt can stand guard to save those who panic over the keelhauling First Bath at Sea!
