After several days of the crew’s endless blog nonsenses, today is the time to set the facts straight from the Captain!
(We have run he engine so far 43 hours and used approx. 32 our of our 80 Gal. diesel fuel supply)
Just to give an example, the lunch prepared by Seamour Dodds yesterday of curried shrimp in ginger and white wine reduction sauce with freshly baked bread might have been good enough for a baby shower, but when the Cap’t found out that the shameless bastard had broken into his private Chardonnay stash to spice up the meal, he naturally was pouting for quite some time.
Hopefully this will improve tonight – Seaman Gilbert has spend the last 2 days marinating monster steaks in some secret liquid presumably passed down from generations of his convict bloodline. As the Cap’t has made it clear that nothing less than perfect Surf and Turf will be acceptable, a line has been trailing from the boat since the crack of dawn…..if the Seaman will retain any hope of a status improvement to ‘near able’ soon, there better be a catch.
Stubblebeard will probably be the next crew member that will have a meeting under the foremast to defend his status unless he improves greatly in the next 24 hours. It appears that he is determined to destroy the vessel which would be really bad as it is the only one we have. Every time he moves around on the boat, (which is actually not a lot since he seems to be sleeping in his bunk the bulk of the time) bumps are heard. He appears to be using his head to knock into everything, weather tied down or permanently installed. Just in the last five minutes easing from his bunk to the deck, he tried to destroy the forward bulkhead, bathroom door and the ss handhold on the dodger!
carry on..............

Seaman Gilbert is marinating steaks in his "special sauce"? Hope you like ketchup. Really.
Very entertaining blog, we're all enjoying your stories. Starting to wonder if you're all getting a touch of the scurvy though, or some other sea-faring brain-addling affliction.
Oh, Torben, Judy wants to know what you're doing with her stiletto shoe...
