Engine Serang -- Just in case you would like a breath of fresh air, the anchor windlass has a slight drip from the gasket around the gear case. When it's fixed we can get Mr. McCloggie to have the cutouts chip, scrape and paint it with particular attention to polishing the manufacturer's brass name plate. :yawn:
|
The anchor windlass, or capstan as we call it, has a big drip behind it. Billyboy.
Get a cutout to nip the gland up. I've got better and bigger things to polish. |
Roger that Serang. Cut out number 6. Up forrard and fix the leak on the windlass. the i want it painted.
|
"gentlemen of the night" indeed, I always suspected there was "something" of the night about yon crowd...:rolleyes:
Actually if you had bothered to consult the injuneering department we would have advised you that "drip" is where Squeek has located his head (as in toilet for you non maritime types) and the "drip" is anything but however is a different sort of leak altogether :quill: |
Engine Serang... now do you appreciate the sort of heathens we have to cope with? Bring your mug the Black Bush fountain is due for re-commissioning. :big_tongue:
|
The foc'sle in danger of becoming a hazmat area, snap-back is the least of the rope draggers problems. Anyway I'm on my way to the fountain of youth with my trusty billycan. Hic.
|
See how efficient our injun department is readers.
Steward! a bottle of the vintage black bush to the engine room please. Deck technicians may repair to the crew bar for nightcaps on me. |

8 watches to the gallon too!

So is this an engineering problem or do the cut outs still have to perform Captain of the Heads duties?

A CAPSTAN however is on a verticle arrangment of one warping drum, and only sometimes a single gypsy. While we are at it, perhaps you would be so kind as to make sure the band brake is fully funtional, not like in: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mkUt6bFhbCw |

Tom I think you may have been hit on the head with a capstan bar, in a bar.
In South Australia I was born (To me) heave away, haul away. In South Australia round Cape Horn We're bound for South Australia. If you admonish me or the Memsahib in public you may be hit once again with your favorite capstan bar. Horizontal indeed. |
threaten him with "Capstan Full Strength" That will make him cough and splutter heh heh

Anyway, I try very hard to avoid dubious situations in foreign places of character, exciting though they may be. Drinking in bars with locals wearing eyepatches and hooped shirts, with knives hanging off their belts is a bit like being in an old film about smugglers and pirates. Like those clichés, I avoid them like the plague. :wink: |

He used to wind up the opposition by scoring lots of goals. Capstan, produced in Bristol, usually deployed in a horizontal manner and then set fire to. Single Gypsy. I knew one once. Very pretty girl, she was.:big_tongue: |
Even the wee rats know a winch on the Forecastle is a capstan and on the arse-end it is a windlass. Now there's a good fellow, no bellyaching.
|
But do they know about weighing the anchor?
|
Only if it is a cock a bill. These little squirrely things can be fiendishly cunning. But they can't drink a yard of ale with Jameson chasers.
|
Give them time.......
|
Our Anchors dont need weighing they have 3 ton cast on them already.
Dont let them mess around with our Dry-Baulick towing winch. we went to great trouble to pinch that! |
Hello Wheelhouse, ETA for Hamilton. I fancy an heiress. Sweet sherry all round.
