No one aboard who speaks and understands Gronings? That's a dialect spoken in the North of Holland, where I come from (and Lady Pirate).
Now we live in Noviomagus, where they speak Nijmeegs. That's a funny dialect!
But I sailed the North Sea, the Mediterrean Sea (loved Malta, have you ever been to Valetta, the capital of Malta) and lived for a year in Italy, so I speak Italian as well.
Sweet Havannah nights with sweet salsa music, that would be yarn great!
Well, Lady Pirate is having a hell of time out here. Perhaps I should lock her up for a few days, only on water and bread.... (teasing!)
