Hi Capt'n

Sorry for asking a dumb question but can you please explain the significance of the different colours.

Cheers

Our female crew members will probably enjoy this one, I'm not so sure....................

The Wisdom of a Navajo Woman

A saleswoman is driving home in Northern Arizona when she sees a Navajo woman hitch-hiking.

Because the trip has been long and quiet, she stops the car and the Navajo woman climbs in.

During their small talk, the Navajo woman glances surreptitiously at a brown bag on the front seat between them.

"If you're wondering what's in the bag," offers the saleswoman, "it's a bottle of wine. I got it for my husband."

The Navajo woman is silent for a while, nods several times and says, "Good Trade."

.

"I like long walks, especially when they are taken by people who annoy me."

Ahoy 1st officer Spids

It's good to see you woke up with "some" sence of
humour on a day with 1 hour less sleep
You are truly a very fit man of the sea

We on all deck at dawn this morning were able to drag a couple of wet sails back on deck but unfortunately a couple of others were caught up in the rudder in the process!!!!
I don't mean to infer that you could have helped the situation but maybe it would not have been so bad
It's good to see our sea-cadets dabbling with the exciting idea of Shorting contracts but we both know they will learn the hard way

When was the last time you saw a real life bear in a full length fur coat???? 1929??

Salute and Bon Appetit my great crew
There is never a dull moment at sea

Captain,

Thankyou, you've made me feel it was I that saw which way the Ocean were about to go.

And God I feel Proud!

Able seaman ample Cook, well , when we last looked maybe.

Ahoy brave and loyal crew

If you can keep your head when all about you
are losing theirs ,
If you can trust yourself when all doubt you,
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,

If you don't look too good, nor talk too wise:
If you can dream--and not make dreams your master,
If you can think--and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can learn to act instinctively,

If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
and treat those two imposters just the same;

If you can make one heap of all your winnings
and risk it all on one turn of speed,
and lose, and start again at your beginnings
and never breath a word about your loss to anyone;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
to serve your long term voyage ,
And hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says : "Hold on!"

If you can talk with landlubbers and keep your virtue,
Or walk with the Emperor and the Admiralty--and not lose the common touch,

If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you;
If all men count with you, but none too much,
If you can fill the unforgiving day sailing
with six hours worth of distance run,

Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And--which is more--you'll be a Man of the Sea a much envied member of the crew on the Good ship "Incredulous"!

Ahoy brave and loyal crew

Its seems a bit silly sailing around in these tricky seas and weather conditions under a full spread of sail
It might be best to lock in a few gains and wait patiently for some wind?

All hands on deck
At dawn on the open

LOWER the blue UEC
HOIST the blue NRT

LOWER the green KRS
LOWER the green AUN
HOIST the blue EPT
HOIST the red EQX

LOWER the red ADV
LOWER the red GBG
LOWER the red HGO
LOWER the red GGY
LOWER the red MXS
LOWER the red TEE

Bon voyage and God's speed

Ahoy Able-Seaman Ample Cook Julie

Your little red spinnaker VRE is looking good
Hold on!
This could be the day it thrusts through the grid 10 barrier
