No doldrums to be sure, and ole Bill's heads had better not leak, leastways not anytime soon, says I. And ye old bucking syndrome had better stay away from ole Billy Bones - we'll have none of that on my watch.
Ole Bill's sailin' smooth these days. There for a time back in February and March it was me and ole Billy facing life or death on a lee shore. He was down with a terrible fever, lifter problems says I, malaria says he, but things has a way o' workin' out in the long run. And a new distributor sure helped.
Keep a sailin' on the Sea of Westfalia.
