Oh Captain, My Captain!

Tell him he needs to start every sentence with “Yarr!”

Well, poot. Apparently it’s too rainy in Balto for training today. They don’t like to teach their new captains to handle the boats when their visibility is obscured by the rolled down awnings. So he’s hoping to give it a go tomorrow.

Bummer.

Will he be able to marry people on the boat?

I should stay out of this thread. Every tie I read the title I hear a woman’s voice screaming “Oh Captain! MY CAPTAIN! OHHHH!”

Had I known he was looking for that type of work, I’d have pointed him to a nice seafood restaurant on the Fox River that has a little boat called the Algonquin Princess. Seems the captain died some time ago and they haven’t found anyone to skipper the ship. And I’ve really had a hankerin’ to go up and down the river!

Hope your husband likes his new gig!

No - he’s already married to me. :stuck_out_tongue:

Kalhoun - this is a part-time job. In real life, he’s the Engineering Manager for a company that manufactures injection-molded parts for the automotive industry. Once we retire, I know he’d love to have a full-time boat-related job, but until we get the kid out of college and self-supporting, we can’t afford that luxury.

Where’s the Fox River?

So when you start undressing him you feel like you’re 16?

Older than 10, apparently. :stuck_out_tongue:

In the interst of safety I must insist that he always have the current NOAA charts for the area. If I come to find out he don’t I’m gonna go over to the next building and turn him in! :smiley:

Oh and are you sure he’s not going to turn homosexual when they leave port like they do on the Simpsons?

I dunno - we’ve left port lots of time over the last 20 years. We had the Perfect Child[sup]TM[/sup] after leaving port. Of course, if someone named Homer comes aboard, all bets are off.

FairyChatMom, the Fox River is in Northern Illinois, suburban Chicago. This, too, would be a part-time job. You can do lunch or dinner on the boat and just go up and down the river for an hour or so. We’re not talking “spectacular river” here. It’s just a nice little river that runs into the Chain o’ Lakes. Very small time.

Illinois? Just a wee bit too far from the Chesapeake Bay to suit us anyway.

Better be careful if someone named Deck comes aboard, I hear that hands are all over him.

HAHAHAHA!! I’ll remember that one! :D:D:D Cracked me up!
