⛵ ⛵ ⛵ ⛵ [Thoughts froms th' Keptin...]

"What’s oan me mind? Strange thooghts these days muckers. Me brine senses ur tinglin'...Somethin' is amiss an' Ahh cannae quite place whit it is...A Keptin has his ship an' dedicates his life tae 'er. He also has his crew an' dedicates his best leadership an' loyalty tae 'em. In returns, his ship an' crew respond alike...except...when they dornt...

Mebbe it's th' strange an' mystical fog o' th' Stoatin Loch Ontario 'att hovers upon th' waters? Nae, Ahh dornt think sae. Th' crew is whieest...unresponsiff. It's nae loch them. Some o' me highest officers ur hidin' belaw deck loch a boorichie o' stow-a-ways! Ur...hav they jumped ship under th' pressures of choosin' a shair ceilidh fur Yoongstoon? Seems tay strange tae imagine! Cowardly an' peevish at heart! Nae, 'att cannae be it. Some hav bin oan multiple toors oan thes vessel, an' hav risked life an' limb!

*Hoo strange tae ponders...Is it mutiny? Hmmmm, nae, it cannae be. These men ur stoaner-navy, ben an' ben. Aiblins it's time tae review th' sacred vows of bein' crew oan th' Silverton...*🤨

‘Voluntary Enlistment Contract an' Such’

  1. Ye will ne'er disobeys yer Keptin
  2. Ye will ne’er strike yer Keptin.
  3. Ye will ne’er stab yer Keptin.
  4. Ye will ne’er shoots yer Keptin.
  5. Ye will ne’er ned froms th' galley pantry.
  6. Ye will ne’er givs up th’ barnie!
  7. Ye will ne’er abandon th’ Silverton!!

Hav onie o' these sacred vows of th' mighty Silverton bin burst? Ahh'll leave 'att tae yer ain conscience cheils. Think oan it. Dornt haud yer sheesht. Dornt lit fear ur a sudden shy nature keep ye hidin' in th' shadows! Yoo're th' best o' th' best! - *Yoo're Royal Scottish Navy!" 😉 - Keptin Joshua Slane
