Gosh quite nice up here

Scotland and its many sea lochs are so lovely. It is so nice to sail around the coastal sights and towns via Oban and Tarbert and put in to old inns and coaching houses. Ah yes, nice to be on this side of the fiery Atlantic. I see the SS Neptune has been blasting away at anything that moves with a union jack on it - obviously a French revolutionary that hates anything coronal, but maybe this lady doth protest too much, and is keen to come over to the crown that she wants to blow apart. It happens like this to old sea captains - they yearn for a knighthood like old Capt Philby of the MV Sandyeel and Capt MacClean of the MV Corbeille du pain and then Capt Burgess of the SS Remington Steele - from the old supply French fleets of our Napoleon's historical trawlers that occasionally hang around the HMS Londinium or the many decked HMS Trinovantium. Life in a Republic can become quite tedious when there are no real benefits and no reward mechanisms except next year's revolution and nother guillotine to be built in French Canada or the colonies. Yes the Neptune is quite bored with revolution. Quite bored even with boredom and always feigning her death.
