I told Mari-Rae I was going with her. I want to make sure she has changed out of her seaweed first. You go ahead we will catch up later.

Hi! Sorry to keep you waiting, Shagbark! Look! I have a can of ParrotKill aerosol spray in my tote! 
Just in case!

I thought the captain was already in town. He must have come back early. At any rate I'm ready to go let's shove off.

*Scrambles down into the longboat and they shove off for shore. She enjoys watching the sailor's muscles ripple as he rows them across. 
... Then!! she spots Flynt high above them and also headed for Madeira.*
There's that no good Parrot now!

Now if you'd anticipated that you would have saturated the hat with something before you put it on(like arsenic) so he would get it in his beak when he snatched it. But don't let Pierce know. He loves that miscievous old bird.

Lunch?!! 
Since we are in Madeira, do you think some Mediterrean cuisine would be appropriate? or Spanish? or Portugese? As long as they offer wine!!
That Parrot!!
