aye, but we need not sail all the way to brazil to meet 's a'plenty. we've got quite a few aboard this 'ere fine vessel of ours

still, a bit of sunshine and soft sand between our five toes might do us quite a bit of good

I thought we were going to stop by Santa's workshop fitrst.

that's prolly a good idea, what with the hurricane season and all

Definitely no hurricanes there.

no, but aren't we going to meet some on the way?

That depends. Hurricane Ike may be followed by Hurricane Tina. Hurricane Jiminy is going hand in hand with Hurricane Pinocchio.

You know your better off in a ship or an airplane in a hurricane.

in particular if said ships is anchored in bahia ipanema

Yep, that's what I meant.

This is a fairly large ship, innit?
Any hurricane would think twice about hitting us.

yup. we'd slap it in its face and send it home to its momma crying

In that case, he would be greeted with gales of laughter, eye think.

good one Paul.

There seems to be a hurricane spawning ground just off the coast of Africa. Maybe that's where the mama hurricane is?

the one neil young sang about

you are like a hurricane
there's calm in your eye

I used to sing to my ex wife. You are like a spitfire, elegant looking with a big gob.

Was that the wife who wa shard of hearing?

Avast me hearties!

and so it begins

It ends pretty soon, though.
