:: looks around the empty deck ::
Well, well... Looks as if the party waited for ME this time.
:: drops effects to the deck and walks to the mainmast ::
"Gone Fishing"? I've 'til Tuesday? Someone declare a national holiday, or some such?

:: collects effects and strolls down the gangway, whistling. Upon catching sight of the notice posted at dock end of the plank, he turns and reads, placing his hat over his heart ::

:: squares up his hat, and puts on his coat and baldric ::

:: stops at the entrance to the pier, and looks ponderingly left and right ::

:: strolls off jauntily, whistling ::
