Ah c'mon MARINER! Last week you couldn't remember the crews names, this week you think the skipper had a suntan - what next? The cabin boy was a girl?!

More seriously, after The HanToon incident the other day, Phil remarked that "that was the best recovery I've heard in a long time!" i.e. you used the "mistake" to give yet more life to the story. No better man.

At least the line makes it easy to substitute "was Norwegian" instead of "was a Mexican". Go for it, of course. If anyone asks, tell them the story.
