    Default Corona Virus.

    Shipmates who are on the quarintine ship,

    I will now let you in on this advice.

    I’m passing this on because it worked for me today. A doctor on TV said during the Corona Virus Epedemic lock down, in order to have inner peace in our lives, we should always finish things that we start. Since we could all use more calm in our lives, I looked around the house to find things I’d started and not finished. I finished a bottle of Merlot, a bottle of Chardonnay, a bodle of Baileys, a butle of wum, the mainder of Valiuminium scriptins an a box of choclutz. Yu has no idr how fablus I feel rite now, Sned this to all yur frenz
    who need inner piss, an telum u luvum.

    Bligh.
    The Business of the commander-in-chief is first to bring an enemy fleet to battle on the most advantageous terms to himself, (I mean that of laying his ships close on board the enemy, as expeditiously as possible); and secondly to continue them there until the business is decided.

    Covid 19 Useful Tips:
    When you have washed your hands, rub them all over with sliced chillies. That will make you leave your face alone.

    Some people aren’t shaking hands because of Coronavirus. I’m not shaking hands because everyone is out of toilet paper!

    The obvious answer Dave, and quite normal in society too when everyone wore a hat.
    Fortunately I still do so to shade my eyes from the light. I will adopt your suggestion.

    Very true DB, and at 21 feet we are probably safe from the coughs and sneezes which also kill in this case. Unless of course we are downwind and there is a strong breeze. All good captains try to get the up wind position!

    Today is my first day going outside my home or supermarket.
    I went to the beach, we have a sunny day with 25º . Nice sun and wind in my tanned skin

    I liked the Tv doctor advise.

    True, Romeo, and you probably suffer fewer total casualties than from the virus, with no elderly people like me aboard to worry about either.
