😲 do tell. Hey they are locked up in a steel can for a tour a year long. 6 on 6 off watches. Some 12 ,12. Your can expect a bit of steam release.

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. I am sure they will be well behaved.
How does a ship dock in a bay? Never heard that term before. Surely it’s dropped anchor, or anchored. No doubt there are many nautical bods around who can give us the correct phrases. And as for losing an expensive jet off the deck because of bad weather, that sounds utterly careless.
