A wet week on the Moray Firth

[Mike2822425]

Well I chose this next week to do my D.S. practical and its raining cats and dogs.

All my brand new foul wheather gear will get wet, I hope it works!! At least if it p.....sses down all week I may come back looking like an experienced sailor and not like a shop dummy. I have untill 20.00hrs tomorrow.........any advice on how to "rough up" my new gear so that I dont look such a prat walking down the pontoon? URGENT HELP NEEDED

SCENE III. A heath near Forres.

Thunder. Enter the three Witches
First Witch
Where hast thou been, sister?

Second Witch
Killing swine.

Third Witch
Sister, where thou?

First Witch
A sailor's wife had chestnuts in her lap,
And munch'd, and munch'd, and munch'd:--
'Give me,' quoth I:
'Aroint thee, witch!' the rump-fed ronyon cries.
Her husband's to Aleppo gone, master o' the Tiger:
But in a sieve I'll thither sail,
And, like a rat without a tail,
I'll do, I'll do, and I'll do.

Second Witch
I'll give thee a wind.

First Witch
Thou'rt kind.

Third Witch
And I another.

First Witch
I myself have all the other,
And the very ports they blow,
All the quarters that they know
I' the shipman's card.
I will drain him dry as hay:
Sleep shall neither night nor day
Hang upon his pent-house lid;
He shall live a man forbid:
Weary se'nnights nine times nine
Shall he dwindle, peak and pine:
Though his bark cannot be lost,
Yet it shall be tempest-tost.
Look what I have.

Second Witch
Show me, show me.

First Witch
Here I have a pilot's thumb,
Wreck'd as homeward he did come.

Drum within

Third Witch
A drum, a drum!
Macbeth doth come.

ALL
The weird sisters, hand in hand,
Posters of the sea and land,
Thus do go about, about:
Thrice to thine and thrice to mine
And thrice again, to make up nine.
Peace! the charm's wound up.

Thanks Jimi, will try to avoid Forres..........I sorted the problem myself..........I had 4hours of cutting grass in the rain. So on with the new oilies..........every 1/2 hour the mower blocked up and I had to lie on the ground to clear the shute. Blue /yellow and white H.H. jacket now has grass and mud stains on it .not very nautical but I feel I will look less like that man in the Compass advert.....you know the one..........50+ with 3days growth of beard.....AAAHH..........did he ever set foot on a boat?

Should I bung the Instructor a 20 or a bottle of Malt?

Solid Har here today at the Broch.........hope weather better at Lossie tomorrow............Does he have a Radar?

With local knowlege we can tell where the port is by the smell of fish.
