I naturally bow to your experience in these matters. Whilst generally ignorant of the minutiae I guessed that much of the life would be less than convenient to someone with my delicate sensibilities. This is why I declared from the start that actually sailing the 7 seas would not be part of the deal. I see myself in a more ceremonial role Lyn,

You are, of course, quite right in guessing the source of this latest inspiration. PS: As an ironic sound effect a seagull has just squawked (if that's the noise they make) whilst passing over - it could be an augury ! Mary,

Global travel could be a problem since we've yet to get you out of the county but that aside it's perfect! Another option might be a broadcaster, I remember one joined as a guest and he sent in his report about life at sea, every day live on air. He was also an excellent shopper and we managed to buy lots of goodies in every port .... apart from that he had a very leisurely life and was well paid judging by his attire. A word of warning however, don't take your best shirts with you, the washing facilities leave a lot to be desired and require neat acid. Don't let us cloud the issue with facts .... one or two sessions with the man in the know should give you enough detail to bluff your way through many a cocktail party ....... can't wait!

Of course you'll have to adopt the gait - he tells me it takes a while to adapt to terra firma! So as Honorary Captain, what would you transport on your ship or are we talking luxury cruise liner?
