Junk schooner! Humph! I was born on a fine craft... that had been sold as scrap to my old man.

As for doing the trip in May I'm afraid I'LL still be working then. We don't get out of school till late May and then I'll have some loose ends to tie up before I can get to your side of the world. I won't be in England until about the middle of June. And... if I go anywhere but straight to see my new granddaughter my ass will be roasted by most of my family starting with my daughter and her husband.
