well if you look down this tube here you might just catch some rays...
alternatively you could use the 'bovegroundpool on the Florida deck as soon as i get it set up. i still need to fine tune the settings on the i.m.s. and negotiate with the navigator a bit to keep it pointing mostly saarf, but it should be a welcome respite for the weary rascal pirate wishing to lose that 'Northern European Look'.

No thanks, Alec. I'm just looking for an appealing neck to nibble at.
I'm feeling a bit parched.
