Mick, my understanding is that this ship of ours was started by a guy named Noah, not sure if we can still get a copy of the plans!

Virtual Ship
Hi
What we really need is for my local Council to send a bunch of their guys out to patch it up as they are experts in patching, that's all they ever do, never fix owt properly, just patch, make and mend do. I am also sure that a seaworthiness cert. could be issued by the same bunch as they cross off every job they ever carry out as being "perfict.
Off to the quacks now to see about my bad back as having driven a few miles over their "perfictly" patched roads something seems to have gone it.. perhaps I had better walk to the quacks though!!

Thought after jumping ship last trip and living in the desert, I would never be found.
However John tracked me down. Offered me the position of chief tab nab maker, with an unlimited supply of rum.[will still bring the rum extract for back-up]
I have not been wasting my time down here in the dunes. [well maybe spending too much time building sand castles] I have a whole pile of new recipes. For example. Scorpion bon bon's, rattle snake eclairs,cactus steamed pudding etc, etc.
I am sure the thought of sampling all of the above delights will encourage a large number of old and new hands to rush down to the ship/pool to sign on.
I hope Terry will be with me to help produce the mega quantities of tab nabs that will no doubt be in demand.
May also look at signing on an apprentice to learn the culinary art.
Applications for the above position will be interviewed by me and Les B Ann.
Bring your own whip.

Scorpions, rattlesakes, no Den we will not have any politicians on board thank you.
But the idea of an apprentice is good, maybe a young boy, something to complement Les B Anne and to give some of the crew a choice. Maybe if you brought some of the sand and we mixed it with a bit of cornflour we might just be able to patch up the hoels!!

After reading that bit from Ron the Batcave, I am beginning to wonder if we are attracting the wrong sort of applicant for an apprenticeship.
The successful candidate must be enthusiastic, able to work without supervision [Terry and me will be in the fog locker most of the time] have a thirst for knowledge [not rum]
and be able to handle [if that's the word I'm looking for] Les B Anne. Also several crew members who have a reputation for violence if no tab nabs.
Talking to Les B Anne about my new desert dessert recipes. She became very excited when I mentioned the lizard tongue rolly-poly.
So excited in fact that I had to tie her down[which she seamed to enjoy]
