Well, we got the James Bond Inflatable Zodiac Commando Boat out of the ice under the bridge up Manatawny Creek, and are well under way. The tuns of Yuengling Porter are properly stowed with one tapped and the pull right handy to the helmsman's station. A small problem - Jayne Mansfield found a badger sleeping in her stateroom. Since badgers are good luck in most cultures, we put the stowaway to work. The Red-Haired Witch's familiars are half Maine Coon so the new crew creature was a bit skittish at start, but the problem of Who's What was soon settle on the basis of seniority. And magical dexterity. The girls are getting him quite well trained. The jurisdictional dispute between the Leni Lenape woods spirit and the piskies has been resolved. The Penrose Forebears were the original Philadelphia Lawyers. You can read about them in Rouse's "The Cousin Jacks: The Cornish in America". I was living in San Francisco when it hit the bookstores in the us. When I read the review of it in the San Francisco Chronicle, I rushed right out on my lunch hour to the nearest bookstore. They hadn't gotten it in stock because they didn't think anyone would be interested, but I convinced them to get the book for me. A few days later, I got a call at the office to rush right down and get my copy before they were all gone. Yes, there was interest in the book and it was selling like the proverbial hotcakes. So we're underway, soon passing Philadelphia and out to seaward. Albert Jenkin and quite a mixed crew - with our new badger crewman, even more mixed than ever.
