That poor Concordia has seen her share of humiliation, eh pumpkins. I ran aground in my bathtub once. Too many suds will do that. (Thankfully my implants kept me afloat.)
The fire department had to use weighted ballasts and duck fat to get me out. But at least there was no slow mo web cam recording every heave ho. I think. Concordia's been lying portside on a reef for 2 years with her undercarriage exposing a rusty hull for the all the world to see. Now she's just damaged goods. Headed for the travel scrap heap. It's a ghastly ending.
Notice, dear Pumpkins, that no matter how many times men back their bow into disuse, they always seem to float back to the top without a scratch. Al Budhwani is heading up retail at Thomas Cook. Didn’t take long to tow him to safety. Kirk floundered for a bit – but landed his propeller nicely at Porter. Friisdahl has his dream job. Why isn’t anyone throwing Linton a life line?
The least we can do for an old broad who can’t be saved with a coat of paint and a good deck swabbing is give her some privacy.
