Bring your face mask and sunglasses Marian. The air gets blue at nights and can damage your eyes and throat. Especially if all the capstan tins are over the side. Cappy spits anywhere and the deck likely to get slippery, so maybe your galoshes as well. JS

And thats after youve cleaned up the spittle on the deck. Theres another 3 weeks to go yet before we reach the Spanish Main and thats only if we can find the anti Gulf Stream current. Unless our shipmate with the spanish addittion to his name will point the way.JS
