Based on the size of the Pelly's beak, I'm a bit nervous about joining him in the tub!

I wouldn't advise you men to go into the tub with Pelly there, sans bathing costume....
I intend to train him to eat parrot. 
One particular parrot, that is!

shagbark climbs back up the rigging. It looks like a happy bunch here.
shagbark gets 
from 
dumbwaiter. Now if that hurricane will just stay west of here maybe we can enjoy ourselves for awhile.
Shagbark climbs into dumbwaiter. Admires Pelican.

*Appears bearing a large bottle of 
in a bucket of ice*
Did someone mention a party? Oh goodie! A hot tub! 
*Dives in, wellies first and bottle in one hand, tossing the bucket of ice aside so that it upends in to the hot tub*

Well the normal proceedure is to leave the hot tub before the ice water bath but that was refreshing.
I believe I'll step up the voltage to the ultraviolet lamps since I don't know where those wellies have been.

Gwennie Posted Sep 22, 2002
Oh...Right...I see what you mean. 
Sorry 'bout that!
*Removes her wellies and inspects the encrusted soles, tipping out their contents over Archibald*
Oops! Sorry 'bout that (again).
*Brushes aside a few not quite melted ice cubes and takes a swig from her bottle of before wiping the neck with her hand*
Drink anyone?

Don't wipe my neck with your hand!!
*Takes bottle. Takes a nice large gulp of the and passes the bottle along.*
Hurricane? Hurricane? We just had a tsunami... we don't want no hurricane...

Hurricane? Isid..ore something else?
Better ask Gwennie ... she seems to be the local expert on wind ....
*Observes with suspicion a trail of bubbles rising from the hot tub.*

Gwennie Posted Sep 22, 2002
Sorry 'bout that too! Bother! 
I thought I'd be able to slip one out but this isn't a Jacuzzi is it?

14 hours under water, eh? maybe some of us should dive and get shagbark out of there?

*Puts on snorkle and mask and goes diving for Shagbark....*
Sorry, Captain....

into his hand.*
Better?
