Contender: What is the effect of an inertial compass upon the wind speed?
Viator: Well it's not alot
Contendor: Are you sure that it's not 1/3*4^2/(x+c)?
Viator: You could be right but methink the day is yet young and there's sport afoot.
Contender: Let me tell you about the effect of solar wind upon the time it takes to charge a solar powered anchor light
Viator: I'm sure that you would like to but the wind freshens and the sea calleth
Contendor: Viator, have you heard about the number of containers that get lost in the channel every year?
Viator: The tide is right, the wind is fair.
Contendor: But have you heard that if we hit a rock we must report it to the MCA?
Viator: I'm losing the will to live.
Contender: And that vector charts are technically better than raster charts but that can't trust the accuracy of vector charts at high levels of magnification?
Viator: Just cast off astern.
Contender: Have you heard that by washing mooring lines in non-bio powder you can reduce their strength? What is that you are holding in your hand?
Viator: That, o Contender, is a belaying pin.
Contender: Have you........
(Sound of wood on bone)
Viator: Just hold your hand over the wound it will soon stop bleeding.
Spectator: Must be the time of year when the boats are being lifted
