Cow Island

Afternoon all, sorry this is a bit later than usual but it's been all hooves to the....whatever those things are? The fact is these Navy people have been going over the ship with a fine horn comb. The good news is it seems to going well! There's been a couple of times when the Admiral has said that he's never seen anything like it in all his life! And he had to sit down once! If it goes on like this I'm sure we'll pass with flying colours. Of course this is very much as I expected. Right, better get back....enjoy what's left of the weekend. Captain Bill

'So,'continued Captain Bill,'Norma said to me, do you think we should call it off? But I said that it was essential that we moved ahead with the testing of the Mark VII Water Impact Survival Device, which was why we were pulling Annie out of the dockyard when you arrived!' Admiral Cholmondley Waldegrave St Clair drew in a very long breath. 'Yesssssssssssssssssssssss!' he said at last,'interesting...and the Penguin?' 'Geraldine,' said Norma. 'Top sailor,' added Captain Bill,'excellent in the water, good with fish, always handy that if you're a bit lost and in need of directions and of course if you sink...' But at that moment one of Norma's horns seemed to catch on Captain Bill's tail and he never completed the sentence. 'Hmmm,' said the Admiral and he indicated to the Lieutenant that a note should be made. Anyway,' he continued,'about our visit...' And Captain Bill turned a little pale.
