Avast ye dogs Tremble in fear as the Scourge of the Finchley Bypass, Sworn Enemy of the cambridge one way system and Plunderer of the M6 TollIs settin sail fer the port of Cabo de Roco
We've bin challenged by these sucata folk to buy a ship fer less than £250. Bein' on a budget tighter than the mainsheets in a hurricane we got ourselves a bargain from the bottom of the barrel. She broke down havin barely left port wi fluids agushing allabouts. Franticly bailing out we made fer a port to rest the fer the night. Then towin her behind a passing schooner brought her back to safe harbour. She's spent many a day in the drydock wi the riggin sprawled accross the decks. Now we're needin to sail accross europe ter the westerly point of portugal.
To those that say the She's taken one to many broadsides to be setting sail on a voyage this grand voyage know this, While she may not be a good at sailing at low speeds nor high speeds either ter be fair, an by Blackberads tash she does make an awful lotta noise when she tries. an she sails straight an true... Despite our helmsmen's best efforts.
We'll be looting and plundering throughout the spanish main(land). All plunder will be sent to Gemin-i in accordance with the pirate code they sent to us, aye it sounds strange ter me but pirates must follow the code. an remember if ye give us ye gold now we won't have ter come an take it from yer.
We are ahvin some troubles trying to keep our ship afloat for although she only cost us £160 her innards are currently in her boot as her coolant bemixing with her oil and her oil be mixing with her coolant and both toghther be making their way out of ther hull and into the sea... as well into the cylenders 2 and 3. and her compression don't look all that healthy neither.
Arr but while her leaky pump may lead to us bailing her out for all 2000 miles we're just glad the sunroof works.
