We do use that term at sea -- I always thought it was an acronym for "Any Woman On Land" (usually followed by "will do"). Remember that this is the Golden Dreamer, so that do not really think that way --- we are usually very respectful especially to the distaff members of our crew, so you are perfectly safe aboard. (If you want.)

I do think, that in the absence of Pats, Sister Eleff, and the C.E.D., that you could easily persuade Sir William to loan you his Titanium credit card to go shopping in Santo Domingo. Seriously, there's so many interesting places to see here. I would be pleased to act as your personal guide, but if you want to see the cathedral you'll have to wear a dress below your knees (the hem that is!) They don't allow shorts in there.

For the rest of the crew, the local beer "Presidente" is cheap and plentiful.

I perceive you are starting to catch on McCloggie, that operating the GD in a state of complete sobriety is not only considered anti-social, but also an impediment to the safe handling of the vessel. Safe docking party in the pax lounge immediately after the all fast and FWE is logged in the book --- (it's got to be somewhere !)

First round on me.

If not required I will head for the lounge and get things set up.

Where is Tmac? I heard he had visited SN to recover a spanner or two. Not fallen in the works by any chance?

Many thanks shipmates. As long as it isn't an iron bar from the injuneers department,then may I suggest any bar with some musical entertainment, some attractive bar staff (not of the Plastico variety !) and a good selection of beverages will be fine to start with. A birthday should be celebrated in as many bars as possible in the amount of time available on the day.

Cheers!

Here, Farmer John --- not quite like Four Bells, but the local rum, Brugal, has a distinctive flavour(and the same alcohol content). Drink up -- I have ordered another four bottles.

How strange!

The more of the local Bacardi I drink the better the music sounds and the loudness seems to be more acceptable!

Do we need to move on?

Hang on - I seem to be down to the boxers as well! Better stay for another one I think!
