shagbark walks in with a bucket of wassail. He trips and spills wassail all over the chart table.

*Fortunately, the Navigator had covered the charts with some old canvas, so the wassail only damaged something that was sail

If we aregoing to drop anchor we had best make sure it is secured to the ship.

Kes Posted Jan 4, 2006
Have we? Sorry. I was looking under the table for the Latin dice.
*Looks at the approaching island*
Ah! We seem to be approaching land. All stop. Full left thingy! Set whotsit for maximum defarringation! Lower the sails! Raise the rent! Apply the handbrake!
There! We should come to a smooth halt just in
*CCCRRRRRRRRRRRRRRUUUUUUNNNNNNNCCCCCCCCCCCCHHHHHHHH*
Ah!
Erm.
Well, if anybody's here for there ... here we are.

latin will probably not do us any good here 
anybody have any ideas about what kind of language theses islanders prefer?
oh what the heck, most people understand a sixgun and a giant cutlass

If it was filled with something alchoholic he'd probably take it.
I can't offer any wassail cause I SPILLED IT ALL
