Lock up you daughters! And maybe you sons. The policeman of the free worlds in town. And maybe a few Brit jacktars in the crew. Maybe A few free drinks might not come in wrong or a little Majorca hospitality . From the Balearic govt. These guys are the cutting edge , with all the risks that entails.
