If Pierce would order a little detour into the shipping lanes and
do a little pirating maybe I would remember.

What clan is your plaid, Shagbark? Hi Caerwynn! 
Have some 
?
This isn't much of a pirate ship as we never do seem to do any pirating, you're right about that. Its more like a cruise ship. NMot that hter's anything wrong with that! Maybe if I kept a better lookout we'd see some action!

Nothing, nothing and nothing... rats. 
I'll keep looking!

Lookout? Bridge here!
Let me know when you see something that looks like the top left-hand corner of France going by ... on the starboard side. Round about then we need to alter course so's we don't bump into Ireland by accident. Thank you!
Froody T shirt, btw!

Thanks for the mari-rae.
His kilt is the Farquarason plaid, because it was closest to the colours Shagbark wanted.
Dumb waiter 
I didn't think of that, but does it go past the Sewing Room? I haven't noticed a door for it. But then there is a lot about this ship I don't notice till someone draws my attention to it.

No ... Portugal first, then France (unless I've got the chart upside down again, of course ...)
You don't happen to have any Boat Drinks up there do you?

Maybe the captain would be intersted to know we are going into
shallow water. Of course this ship has several high-tech safeguards built in so i doubt if we could run aground.

I'm afraid everything is possible on this ship...

shagbark Posted Jan 17, 2002
Did someone just place a call to the bridge?
I must have been distracted and not heard them.
