What Happens Next?

[High6]

You wake up in the early hours to the noise of wind, rain and water slapping. You stick your head outside and see by torchlight that your mooring lines and shore power cable are well under water. You can't see the quay heading.

So what do you do next?

[JennyMorgan]

Go back to bed! It's just a nightmare.

[Vaughan]

Hoist your ensign upside down.

[JennyMorgan]

. . . . . . and hope that someone sees it before it blows out!

[Vaughan]

Face aft and salute.

[JennyMorgan]

Have no fear, Maurice Minor is near. Nyx will appear over the Hickling horizon, tots of rum at the ready.

Call Hemsby lifeboat, you're obviously adrift.

[Lulu]

Find a bucket?

Well if I smoked I reckon it would be time to fire up a Hamlet cigar......

Send the First Officer out to investigate and then report back to the Captains cabin with a cup of tea.

I can just imagine John, with a little barrel of brandy slung round his neck!

I'm not sure, but there's some chap here in a snorkel and flippers asking for £10.

[Vaughan]

Did you take out diving insurance with the boatyard?

[High6]

Not worried - he'll get swept away any minute. Tide's still rising.

[High6]

Dammit! Now the dog needs to go out.

So long as it's not a little Red Barrel!

Red Barrel, arghhhhh, London has imposed some pretty awful exports on to Norfolk & Suffolk over the years & that stuff must top them all!

Draught Double Diamond from their competitors was not much better.
