Argh?
Argh!!!!!!!!! Today be the 19th of the ninth month. And that means:
Lift the skin up, and put into the bunt the slack of the clews (not too taut), the leech and foot-rope, and body of the sail; being careful not to let it get forward under or hang down abaft. Then haul your bunt well up on the yard, smoothing the skin and bringing it down well abaft, and make fast the bunt gasket round the mast, and the jigger, if there be one, to the tie.
I can't believe that I didn't get down to 826 Valencia today. I hope Captain Rick isn't too diappointed.
In other great news, Erin brings word that NBC has figured out the formula to ratings gold! I'm quite excited. All I can say is that this is even better than if I was "on the beach taking in some cosmic rays."Labels: gladiatorial, pirates
