Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more;
Or close the wall up with our English dead.
In peace there's nothing so becomes a man
As modest stillness and humility:
But when the blast of war blows in our ears,
Then imitate the action of the tiger;
Stiffen the sinews, summon up the blood,
Disguise fair nature with hard-favour'd rage;
KING HENRY V

gold passed the 1720 resistance.
Welcome back Lav! Indeed, a key resistance has been breached! Pop yourself downstairs for a juicy steak. After you climbed aboard late last night several crew members raced into my cabin clutching metal detectors and asked me if we can possibly "pop by" Macedonia sometime soon! Quite strange!
Crew, there were a lot of feathers swirling around our deck this morning. BlackSheep had better lend us some wool to knit a woolly vest for Maggie up there in the Crow's Nest or OHSA will shut us down for keeps.
A terrible battle raged last night - and we were thwarted in our goal. But are we Mice or Men? OK, I guess I should ask are we mice or blacksheep or men? That is, are we mice, blacksheep, magpies, parrots, crocodiles, kookaburras, pelicans, ... Oh forget it!
My point is we are not going to give up now when our goal is so close. The gallant efforts of our crew have brought us within striking distance of Berg 34 so tonight we will mount a fresh challenge on the monster. (Otherwise there's "Lassie Come Home" showing in Cinema One tonight, but come on this is a real adventure do you think this happens every day?)
We have every available inch of canvas out at present, so I need someone to set up our little out-board motor on the stern. It's not very powerful, but we need all the help we can get. There's no two stroke fuel left in the hold, so we'll have to run it on vodka and rum. It might help.
Onward crew!
Now set the teeth and stretch the nostril wide,
Hold hard the breath and bend up every spirit
Be copy now to men of grosser blood,
And teach them how to war.
For there is none of you so mean and base,
That hath not noble lustre in your eyes.
I see you stand like greyhounds in the slips,
Straining upon the start. The game's afoot:
