shagbark appears with a dolly containing a portable fridege. He installs it nextto the table and plugs it into the generator. Then stocks it with egg nog. He is agone a minute.

shagbark returns with a large box. Out of it he pulls a rack which he affixes to the side of the table. It has two rows One for clean glasses, and one for dirty ones. He fills one row with glassware for the egg nog. He reaches into the box and pulls out twelve hightech self heating mugs which atytach magnetically to the table.
He is gone again.

Shagbark returns once more with a large container of wassail.
He pours the wail into the self heating mugs and then reaching into the box pulls out a bannerwhich he affixes to the front of the table
it reads***Shagbarks Self Serve Wassail table. Help yourself.

The smell of cinnamon and nutmeg starts to waft from the foredeck. Shagbark decides to take some to the lookout.

shagbark returns from crowsnest and places mug in cleverly designed mug rinser below table and then retrieving it refills it and begins to sing.
Here I come a wassailing upon a pirate ship
Here I am a wassailing upon this jolly trip.
Love and joy come to you and to you your wassail too
And God Bless you and send you a happy New Year, And God send you a Happy New Year.
