Picks up a box and dumps it onto the foredeck and then takes 
and returns toast. If Lynne asks who dumped all that shredded paper I'll say you did it

Well, Mari-Rae, it took a bit of doing re-installing the dumb-waiter without weakening the mast, but I think I achieved it. This new one has a shaft of reinforced kevlar. Now we should be able to send food
to the crows next again.

shagbark is astounded at what he sees. He rings up the bridge.
~ring~ring this is Shagbark up in the crows nest. I think I just saw the Rock of Gibraltar disappear. What in the world are you doing down there
The Crow's Nest
shagbark Posted Jan 9, 2002
Well, we did turn right instead of left so I guess they have things under control, but we had better watch out for coastgard cutters from the Gibraltar government. They may be mad after losing the rock.

The rumor is that we are heading for Scotland in search of good whiskey. Of course, no one considers that the lookout up here in the Crow's Nest might find the winter weather around Scotland a bit brisk for her tastes, but never mind.... they all want good whiskey and that is where we are going.
