As the captain has jumped ship for a couple of weeks I have volunteered to do this week's ride and thought a trip to Kimpton via Hexton and Lilley with a cafe stop option at Whitwell would be nice weather pending.
Ahoy shipmates
No sailing for Barnabas for a few weeks while undergoing repairs
4 weeks ago the ship's surgeon 4 weeks ago missed the fact that my main spar was splintered in 3 places
He needs keel-hauling for his incompetence.
In dry dock for the foreseeable future, might need a hook to replace my hand!
a hook is good for picking the nose in traffic and hill climbs beside a mountain goat
looks like the crew is breaking out the rum already in my absence
Ahoy Cap'n
A hook indeed would be useful for those activities
Or slicing the gizzard of the useless ship's surgeon.
'A further 3 weeks off sailing', he opined today on HMS Lister,
Makes it only 1 outing in 2 months.
Plenty of grog to see me through
But all form blown to the 4 winds
Blast and botheration
Always happy to have port reserved for me
Would rather drink it though
Meanwhile have found Scarlet Macaw from Oakham Ales a comforting drop
While drifting listless in the doldrums awaiting repair and a fair wind
