Oh 'eck .. why n(ot)? ... and with Christmas fast approaching we should give the animal jokes full rein, dear ... don't you agree 
*Checks position from chart*
Just a quick navigational update, folks .... We're at the mouth of the Spencer Gulf, and about to head into the Great Southern Ocean. Prevailing winds are strong Westerlies, so we'll be heading East. As well as keeping a lookout for Tasmania (large grey object) we should watch out for lots and lots of yachts participating in the Boxing Day Sydney to Hobart race.
I'll pass that on to the Pelican's Nest ....

"The German physicist Max Planck (1858-1947) is generally considered to be the father of quantum theory, a theory that governs most physical and chemical phenomena."
Just in case you really wanted to know.
