So do you think we will go close enough to Britain to see Lands End?
If we don't how will the bridge know to turn right

Yes, it's very important to turn right to Tintagel...

No joy... we are parking here along the french coast so the Captain can get wine and cheese.

I see a small village surrounded by fields and cows. Lots of cows.

If they are so sane why is that cow eating a stack of

Who is going to go ashore and fetch the Captain his wine and cheese? Does anyone speak french? It could be dangerous. The french are deadly taunters, you know.

Well ...I had assumed the Cpa'n would lead the party ... I'll go with them ...I got a long-boat ready. It's ideal for a cheese and wine raid ...it has the external planking, and the engine makes a nasty noise ...so it's a Chine and Wheeze boat

Its a good thing you are talking over the speakerphone from the Bridge and that you aren't up here in the Crow's Nest. Otherwise you might find out what its like to be a bird.

And calvados, and beef, and apples, and cream.

Alternatively, can you grab lots of wine & chees, and can you drive real fast? ... on the wrong side of the road>

OK, floh ...you can fill in the EU wine & cheese requisition forms ...
