Birthday
Hey, this date is familiar. Richard, happy birthday dear colleague! It will take some time before we can drink to your health on your birthday again. I wish you a nice day and that all of your wishes may come true.
Meanwhile onboard the nice blue of sea and sky have vanished and we are wearing foul weather gear again. The front has reached us and we have some rain and wind. On the Only on the west side of the low pressure zone we will get some hard wind. Currently no sailing fun for us, I am afraid. But that won’t depress us. The crew is creative enough to keep the spirits up. And so the hoods of the deck lighting are introduced as the latest hat fashion. One never knows if we will see part of the crew on the catwalk later on.
