Atlantic High Court is convened

I, Sir Admiral Waddle Flapjack, had to call to Order a special session of
the Atlantic High Court today.

Trevor was standing trial, accused of gross negligence and dereliction of
duty. His alleged crime was that the Flapjack bucket was left on the
cockpit floor, entangled in mainsheet. Where, during Trevor's watch, the
lid of said bucket was lost along with four pieces of flapjack on the floor,
swimming in seawater. Upon discovery of the crime Trevor took matters into
his own hands and threw the flapjack overboard.

However, the evidence lies before us, crumbs aplenty.

Whilst pleading guilty as charged, in his defence Trevor did say "T'was only
four pieces m'Lud and it being a Force 8. The flapjack will also be eaten
by fishes which is good for the wider community and to the benefit of
penguins."

The normal punishment is keel hauling. However we hear talk of icebergs and
a quest to tow one to America. In this instance there will be a fine - one
large tot of your best rum, to be administered to all crew.

Sir Admiral.

  3. The fine befits the crime - just don't make a habit of leaving the lid off otherwise that iceberg may have to have a tow bar in the form of a human, your rubber booties will come in handy then!! Keep up the good work and gee you look like a speck in the middle of a huge ocean - so brave!! All is well in Tassy with new inhabitants taking over the Chook Palace at Huntleigh, rooster very vocal this morning. Keep Calm, Keep Flapping. G:)
